Who Done It?

Continuing with the entire pitch assignment. Lost one of our team members as one of the other students was absent today. With Kim, our pitch continued to develop and possibly move into a completely different direction from what we had discussed yesterday. Based on the song, we knew that we wanted to tell some murder story where this flapper-esque female character was the object of two mens' affection. One of these men was a detective, the main character of the story. He would be the one to bring our performance full circle as the entire story would come from his thinking out loud. Voice-overs would give voice to the detective's thoughts while the entire story would be communicated to the audience by dance. We envisioned this film noir, 1920's era style to the performance with the female character dressed in red while the men were costumed in black suits. The set would simply consist of a black back drop with footlights and narrow spotlights to keep the focus on the main characters while lending to the film noir effect. Fog, we thought would have helped communicate the film noir and mystery to the audience. For just two days worth of thinking, I quite like this idea.
