One of us is still a little upset about the fact that the second pitch is too difficult, but the third pitch is a good mix of simple and creative, which is exactly what we need for this class .

Originally we planned on the demon jumping out from around a corner, but instead the bully will walk into frame and push the nerd. All other aspects o...

Usually lots of light is pointed to a face, murder weapon, or various sorts of scary imagery. Settings: Settings can vary, depending on the story being told. In more isolated settings, protagonists are alone and fending for themselves(example?) . In settings where more people are present, characters often must work together to defeat the antagonist, which c an create tension between them.
