Genesis
Idea-
My idea is based on a story from bible the story comes from the old Testament.
The story I choose is Genesis which is basically about how god created the Earth.
I am going to do my own take based on the idea of Genesis my do my own version of it.
Genre – Sci Fi
My Story is set is deep space there is a planet far away from Earth. There is Planet that once one full of life it had an ocean,plants ,animals now the planet is dead, the oceans has dried out. The residents are now living on space ships not far from there dead Planet.
Five years after the residents left the planet a Explorer returns to find his planet had died. On his journey through space the exploer found a crystal that is meant restore life to planets.
The explorer stands on the edge of spaceship uses the crystal starts restore life. The crystal takes seven days to restore life.

For my pitch I deciding to go with a simple idea. I am going with simple way to present my idea I am going to sit in front of camera just explain my idea and maybe cut to some pitures to show what I am talking about.
My Pitch will be filmed in my college
Doing this for me is the best way to get idea across I might also use different examples during my pitch to get my idea across such as objects such as maybe a crystal because there is a crystal in my story.
I choose Sci Fi because Sci Fi is the easiest genre you can adpated from the bible because Science Fiction can be mostly anything it set in space,The future or a different dimension and you can use imagine.
I going have speak about my idea with conifidents to convince the judges my idea is the one to choose to make the short list. even though pitch is just me if the idea is good it may stand out.
I want the lead the explorer to be female because I see a female character giving life more than a male. I would like female to be name Erisa Len.
Shots
Open shot be of the dead planet, then ships in space were the people of the dead planet now live. the explore returns, The Exploder sees his dead world. Explorer tells the people about his crystal that is meant restore life to planets, The Explorer stands on the edge of the ship just floating outside the planet, A yellow beam comes out cystal hitting the planet, With in seven days the rivers,Plants and life restores to the planet. it ends
props
Crystal,Futureist clothing, A mixture of Indiana Jones and Han Solo Style cousome for the Explorer but for a female.
Character
Explorer Erisa Len she will act as the Han Solo and Indiana Jones style character very much your cowboy character I wanted my priamry to be female.
Mayor Nass he is the leader of the inhabbitions he controls the space ships and he is one the explores goes to with the crystals.
plus a few extras/Background Characters.
Locations
I will only have one priamary location which will be the main space ship were the mayor lives , The location will very futurastic looking with hi tech technology. The location will be large with a lot of space. You can also consider the mayor’s office as different location but will be based on the ship.
The Location i would need to film in would be a large location with loads apace in would need to be large enough to fit the set the crew and their equipment.
Will I be able to do my idea with twenty five thousand?
For a start I only real need two actors need main actors who will need to be payed plus extars who would also need to be on the wage.
for shots of the dead world I could use a green screen luckly at college we have access to a green screen.
I will also have a book a crew and equiment and also think about how long it to shoot. How long many days i will need to book cast,crew and equipment.
all the the scenes on the ship I think can be filmed in one location I just design it to look like a ship so I need design to design the scenery.
I would also need consume designer to design the costumes.
So there is a lot to take in to consideration with all staff and crew who paying plus how many days that take to film and traveling to and from locations.
So that take a lot from from the budget.
What needs to be done.
On Thursday 17th of September around 1030 all the groups did a group Skype sessions with one of the members who works for enter the pitch which gave use the chance to ask questions to him which could of help use with our own pitch and ideas that we were coming up with.
Even though I did not ask a question myself I felt most stuff needed to be awes aweswed did in Skype session. he even gave bible stories which have never been enter which we can adapted. I also told different bible stories we could choose which a similar to the ones we choose what better ideas which haven’t really been pitched.
He also mentioned the more rearer stories in the bible that choose and finally he told us what is best way to pitch our ideas and what he personally liked to see a pitch be.
On whole I found the session very helpful when composing my own idea and how I am going to present my own pitch.
I throught best way start my pitch was to come up with my idea so I did brief research into bible stories and pick one that I felt I could do a good version of and story which I felt would stand out.
When had the story my first idea was choose genre straight away I want Sci fi because i felt Sci Fi was easiest genre to change.
After I had the genre I came with basic idea once I had that I could expand on that adding characters and stretching out the plot.
Obviously the explorer character acts a are god in bible story god created the Earth, in my The explorer restores her planet. I choose a primary female character to make very different from bible version. because in bible I think god is mostly written about to me a male character so I wanted something different.
While filming my pitch I choose a room with plain white walls. because I wanted to be as simple and plain aspossible so the judges focus on me and what trying pitch rather than be detected by what is in the background.
Then I started think location where I could set my idea.
