Unit 21 Film Pitch Amended Version .pptx
- 1. Unit 21 Movie Pitch Andrzej Francuz
- 2. The Movie Title of the movie – Crazy Catfish Synopsis – Spot it, report it
- 3. Treatment Running Time - 7-10 mins Genre – Drama Why is it an original idea – It is an original idea because it is raising awareness about catfishing which is a common issue affecting youth in this day and age.
- 4. Treatment Narrative of the movie: Beginning – The 14-year-old boy receives a message from a woman that’s pretending to be a 14-year-old catfish; however, he doesn't know the girl is actually a cat-fish until the end. Middle – The 14-year-old boy and catfish agree to meet at the fancy restaurant later today at 5pm and asks his mother if he can go which the mother agrees with. End – The boy realises that it was a catfish and calls the police, the catfish gets arrested. The boy then becomes very anti-social and has severe depression and anxiety of meeting new people because of the severe impact the catfish has had on the boy The short film does have a recognition and equilibrium as the recognition includes the boy finding out he's been messaging a catfish and the police being called and the equilibrium includes the catfish getting arrested.
- 5. Treatment Purpose – To promote my skills of being a filmmaker, to have my film shown in film festivals and to have it screened in the short film slot on Channel 4. This has developed my skills of filmmaking and becoming more confident as a filmmaker. Thematic – To raise awareness about the dangers of catfishing for the younger generation who use social media on a daily basis. But it can also be beneficial for older people as they could be victims of catfishing as well on social media. The themes in the film which could direct people to support is at the end of the film there can be some links to cat-fish helplines for viewers who are experiencing the same issues that were in the video so that they can get support and advice.
- 6. 14-year-old boy He will be the main character of the story as he will be the victim of the catfishing on Snapchat. His interests are going out with friends and going to parties. He is important in the story as he is going to be a victim of catfishing
- 7. Catfish She is going to be the catfish who will pretend to be a teenage girl and agree to meet up with the boy. She enjoys going out and wears a lot of make-up. The impact they will have against the protagonist is that they will meet up with the teen and potentially harm them.
- 8. Boy's mother She will be the boy's mother who will be in shock and fear to find out her son has been speaking to a catfish online and she will teach him to always speak to people he knows in person on social media. She is originally from a beautiful city called Kraków in Poland and she immigrated to the UK 8 years ago when her son was 6 years old. Her interests are going out with friends and looking after her son.
- 9. Police The police will arrest the catfish when the boy calls them. They will have a crucial part of stopping the catfish potentially harming the boy. They have been investigating online crime and abuse for years and have got years of experience.
- 10. Storyboards
- 12. Sizzle Reel
- 13. Post Production Development - Feature film, Cat-fish pressuring the boy to respond to personal questions, threatening the boy if he doesn't answer the questions, asking for his address etc and Cat-fish taken to court after getting reported. So I could develop all of this into a feature film by having shifts in time where the story moves on by a few years. Screening and distribution – Channel 4 short film slot at 7pm, short film festivals, streaming on All4, DVD, it would be certified as a 12 as there is no violence, gore and language.
- 14. Post Production Legal Issues – Copyright infringement such as music, logos of brands e.g., Nike and Addidas. Suitable before watershed which starts at 9pm so no strong bloody violence, no glamorisation of drug use and mild use of bad language that is used in context e.g. getting frightened or shocked. Ethical issues – Offensive stereotypes to race, religion, sexual orientation or sexism and no Racal slurs or terrorist references. Also I am not going to enforce negative stereotypes for example saying that only teenagers are victims of cat-fishing as it can happen to anyone of any age. Child Protection Act – I'm not going to let a child under 18 to work more than 4 hours, and they can't be exposed to sexual activity or affect their education.

- 23. Target Audience Primary target audience – Young teenagers, youth aged 15-18, socio economic group E. It would appeal to this particular audience as many teenagers aged 15-18 use social media religiously and many of them are victims of cat- fishing compared to older age groups who may not be on social media a lot. Secondary target audience – Adults aged between 35-45, socio economic group A and B including film producers who would like to get involved in the production of the film in some way. Also, for parents who may be watching with their children before the news.
