1. OUR FILM
PITCH
Rosie Allen and Annie
Haigh

2. We are INDISTINCTIVE PRODUCTIONS. We came up with
this name for our production company because it highlights the
indistinct qualities of Film Noir, it adds the mystery to what is
revealed throughout our production.
WHO ARE WE?

3. The genre we have chosen to focus on is a Romantic Drama with
a sub-genre of Film Noir. Noir has been called a sub-category of
a crime film, a species of psychological thriller, a mystery with a
private eye as its hero; but it has not often been called a genre.
GENRE OF OUR FILM

4. Our film consists of four main characters, Bridgette and Raymond are firstly
introduced from the outside as looking like the perfect marriage, who are wealthy and
love each other. However it is revealed through Bridgette having an affair with the
detective that their life isn’t as perfect from the outside picture… the affair take places
over a few months but what Bridgette doesn’t know that the detective is seeing another
woman… Vivienne. As both the women find out, Vivienne seduces Bridgette’s
husband, Raymond turning this into a twisted love affair. This happens while the hustle
and bustle of the 1950’s takes place, cocktails, bars, dances, office affairs and drugged
up love. In the end the detective has to decide what's best the for him and both the
women, it ends up in a fight between the four characters as Raymond finds out about
his wife and the detective, and the women both want revenge on each other… but who
will succeed?
THE PLOT

5. Our title for the film is:-
OUR TITLE AND FONT
We chose this font originally, called
“Bronze Script” from the website
DAFONT.COM
We chose the name RENDEZVOUS because our film
consists of secret meetings for one another do commit
adultery. The definition is: a meeting at an agreed time
and place.

6. In the hustle and bustle of the 1950’s England, a
wife unhappy in her marriage finds new love with a
detective… but it seems he has also found another
love who is just as deceitful as himself.
LOGLINE

7. One of the Unique selling points in our film is the romantic sub-genre with
Film Noir, within the film there are several affairs between 4 people, which is
usually called a ‘love triangle’, however on this occasion more people are
involved.
Another unique point to our film is that we have subverted the usual film noir
style and chosen 2 female characters to have the lead roles.
UNIQUE SELLING POINT FOR
RENDEZVOUS

8. Bridget- in an unhappy marriage with Raymond Colbert, she soon finds
someone else to attach herself to.
Bridget is in her late 20’s/early 30’s and has presumably settled down with her
husband Raymond. She acts naive and feminine concealing her love affair with
the Detective, an old friend of Raymond's.
Bridget is placed as a more innocent & protagonist character than the ‘femme
fatale’ Vivienne Sherry (however you could interpret both the female roles as
‘femme fatale’). However Bridget is the most deceitful.
CHARACTERS: BRIDGET
We would choose 1 of 2 British actresses to
play this role in Rendezvous. Helena Bonham-
Carter (left)-right age-…………. Juno
Temple(right)

9. Raymond seems to be the only truly innocent character in the whole love
affair. Once he finds out about his beloved wife and the detective he doesn’t
know what to do with himself and becomes weak and vulnerable, which
seems the perfect time for ‘femme fatale’ Vivienne to interfere…
Raymond is considerable older than his wife – in his late 40’s/early 50’s. he
would never intentionally do anything wrong to his wife, he’s always been
considerate of her, until this betrayal unhinges itself.
CHARACTERS: RAYMOND
In real life we would use the
British actor Jude Law to play
this role
In Love Actually.

10. Detective Darlington is considered to be a ‘ladies man’ or a ‘player’, he has his
ways with women.
The Detective is in his late 30’s and very attractive, he has a cynical look about
himself and is an incredibly secretive character.
CHARACTERS: DETECTIVE
DARLINGTON
Daniel Craig is a British Actor who
most famously plays the role as
James Bond.

11. CHARACTERS: VIVIENNE
The ‘femme fatale’ Vivienne metaphorically, an item which belongs
to the detective, they are not quite in a relations for say, but can be
considered a couple at some events
Felicity Jones(left)….. Zooey Deschanel

12. It is argued that Film Noirs also aim for an older audience due to the complexity of the narrative,
due to the idea that they have a better understanding of the twist and turns that are within a Noir.
Where the young generation may be attracted to violence and actions of the film that is commonly
included.
Our trailer is therefore going to be aimed at 15+ audiences, as young teenagers will be interested
with the action, as well as the twist of the narrative, also the romance of the film. However think
that it would appeal to older people due to the complexity of the plot, they are able to understand or
grasp it much better.
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE
Our film is targeted at both male and females, but as the traditional film
noir would appeal to males; we have subverted this to a dominantly
female casting due to the main characters. So our main audience will be
female, as the film appeals to them due to the romance and the young
characters involved.

13. HOW WE WILL APPEAL TO OUR
TARGET AUDIENCE?

93% of teens ages 12‐17 go online, as do 93% of
