The Synopsis Of Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect is a movie that revolves around a group of girls in University who competes in a national competition of college “a cappella“. Hence, we can easily assess that the movie is filled with music and dance and lots and lots of fun. The movie begins with a flashback of the 2011 ICCA Finals where “The Treblemakers” are performing and making us groove to their beats. Then comes the University’s all-female a cappella group, “The Barden Bellas” and performs in front of the audience with an accident to follow where one of the main members of the group vomits on the stage when performing solo.

This makes them a subject of humiliation in front of everyone. From this point, the story switches to the present time where we meet our protagonist Beca Mitchell. She is a rebellious girl who is attending University only for her father. Deep inside, she wants to become a music composer and her desire is clear from the very first scene in the film. Moving forward, the auditions of Barden Bellas resume and university freshmen seems to be interested in the once-called humiliating group.

Initially, Beca rejects the offer of joining the Bellas due to her lack of interest in a cappella. In the meantime, she joins a school radio station for an internship and there she meets the future member of the Treblemakers, Jesse Swanson. Later on, Beca impresses everyone in the auditions and becomes a member of the Barden Bellas, alongside Fat Amy and Lilly among others. From the start, Beca and Aubrey seem to have some differences of opinions, however, they try to control it as much as possible.

The Competition Between The Bellas And The Treblemakers

Performing the melody from the last time, The Barden Bellas makes their spot in the semi-finals, although the members were not okay with it. However, when for the third time Aubrey insisted they sing the same song, Beca added a part of another song in the middle of the performance. This helps them earn a huge amount of appreciation from the audience but results in creating a rift between Aubrey and Beca. The former also accuses Beca of being with Jesse, who was a Treblemaker and this is considered as a breach of the rule of being a Bella, in the first place.

As Jesse tries to clear out this misunderstanding, Beca lashes out at both of them and leaves the group. In the meantime, the Bellas are not able to qualify as they acquire third place. However, after an investigation request by Jesse’s roommate, the truth about another team surfaces and the Bellas get another chance to be in the finals. In the meantime, Beca tries to reconcile with Jesse but he is too hurt to give her another chance. Later, Beca apologizes to the group and rejoins after gaining equal membership as Aubrey in the group.

Each member of the Barden Bellas shares their personal experiences and stories with each other to remove the trust issues among them. As a result, the female a cappella group starts their bonding and practice sessions for the finals. On the other hand, Jesse’s roommate gets a chance to be a part of the Treblemakers due to a spot that gets vacant abruptly. Initially, he gave a powerful performance during the audition, however, he was rejected by the leader of the Treblemakers. But this turned out to be a good point for him to contribute to making the Treblemakers winners for another year.
