Pitching a Recreation

Shaun of the Dead (2004, Edgar Wright)

Watch the clip - 0:39 - 1:39

I decided to pitch this clip because I thought the location and costume would be quite easy to acquire. For the case of the costume this was in fact the case, Shaun wearing a simple white shirt with a red tie and trousers, Ed wearing navy jogging pants and a t shirt now available on the internet and Mary wearing a denim jacket with a pink skirt and floral shirt. However the location was actually more difficult to get than I first thought. The bay window and french doors would have to be in the exact place to mirror he house in the scene as they are both clearly seen in several shots. The location dressing is also very heavy, shelves lined with records and walls covered in posters that are all in full view throughout the scene.
Another thing I thought was that it would be relatively easy to find actors to fill the parts as I would simply need two males and one female in their mid 30's.

My pitch was not accepted because of the location issue and problems with length and I have instead been assigned to Terminator 2 on Camera and Lighting.
