99 problems but a pitch aint one

Our first pitch was about a teen who kills her friend. We based off of the Alissa Bustamante case where she killed her six year old sisters best friend for fun. She then thinks she's in the clear until they search her house. When they search her house they find her diary with a scribbled out page, after using a uv light they make out some words and question her. We thought we could call it 'Thrill kill' because thats what the courts described it as. We also thought 'In for the thrill' could be cool. This idea was good because its going to be quite easy to convey in two minutes. We thought it would be easiest because we do not need character introduction. Kat came up with idea of doing a interview where our main gets arrested. Then once in the police station they tell her that they have her diary, and know what she did. We have had this idea since the beginning of the year. When we found out we had a two minute movie opening due we all told ideas. I had went through a true crime phase and remembered hearing of this case. We changed from her killing her little sisters best friend to her killing her best friend because we couldn't finfd someone small enough.

When we pitched we each suggested an idea and weighed them out. We each decided that going with the pitch about the 'thrill kill' would be easiest because it is based on a true story. So rather than try and come up with how to start it we are going to do a flashback scene of our main character killing her best friend. Then we are going to see her getting interviewed by the police where they tell her they know she did it. We went with this idea because we have had this since the beginning of the year. We also picked it because we all like murder mystery  movies and wanted to see what it would feel like to star in one.

Although we have a while for this project we are going to start filming and storyboarding as soon as possible. As we have had mishaps in the past. We are also going to buy items that make it look as real as possible. We will be using fake items though, because obviously murder is illegal. There is a party city near Kats house so we will probably go there before and pick up supplies.
