SWOT Analysis of our Pitch/Treatment

After receiving constructive feedback from the rest of our peers, we needed to analyse our pitch using SWOT, which identifies our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

Strengths


The initial plot idea matched the conventions of the Thriller genre. Our idea is basic, not requiring any form of SFX e.g. explosions, making it much easier to edit later on after the filming stage. We were told that the plot will work due to the fact that it is character driven.

Weaknesses


The way in which our opening scene was planned to be filmed was 'too bland' and there was a big gap between the plot and how the opening scene would be filmed. We almost made the task too difficult to do, so we were suggested to slow the pace of the opening right down instead of having it fast paced.

Opportunities


We have the opportunity to film our opening scene in different areas local to us, which means that we all don't have to travel too far to film. We will be able to edit the planned use of various shot types after the filming stage.

Threats


We may not be able to find a suitable actor to play the character we wish to include within our opening scene. Filming in public may present itself to be quite a problem with other people that are in the area at that specific time.
