It's really difficult to do that in a mass market (widest appeal) 'kids' film. Generally the core of a single film or episode for TV fits inside of an elevator pitch and everything else is an embellishment detail. An entertaining decoration on a well known recipe. Though deeper plot can make for re-watch-ability across a larger series, such as character development within the MCU.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agowell, sure and there are only a limited number of plots in the world and everything is an embellishment detail, and it is the embellishment details that make things interesting. You might get interested to make a movie based on its elevator pitch, but you probably won't be that interested in seeing it - unless you already know a lot about it, for example you might want to see an MCU movie based on the description The Avengers fight Thanos! But that's not because it's a concise description - in fact there's hardly any description at all, the sale is made by relying on a mind embellishing it themselves.
- mcphage 6y agoRight, but if you can't even give an elevator pitch, because the project is too unfocused, then that's a bad sign.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoif you can't give an elevator pitch because project is too unfocused, yes that's a bad sign. If you can't give an elevator pitch because the project is too rich. Then that might imply greatness. so often an elevator pitch for those productions of the human mind generally referred to as works of art is useless. What's the elevator pitch for A Tale of Two Cities?
