2. NARRATIVE/ HOOK /IDEA
• MY PITCH WILL BE BASED ON THE HORROR FILM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
PRODUCE. THIS WILL BE TOLD IN A NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE. THERE WOULD BE
A GREAT USE OF FLASHBACKS. THIS PRESENTS THE IDEA THAT THE PAST THAT
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST COULD BE DISPLAYING THE FACT IT IS COMING
BACK TO HAUNT HER FOR KILLING HER BEST FRIEND .
• THE IDEA WILL BE BASED ON A TEENAGE BEST FRIENDS. BUT BECAUSE OF ENVY
FOR THE OTHER FRIEND. SHE KILLS HER BEST FRIEND WHICH THEN WHEN SHE IS
AT THE GRAVE YARD SHE VISITS HER FRIEND GRAVE. WE THEN FIND OUT THAT
HER BEST FRIEND IS ALSO PRESENT WITH HER AND THEN SHE BECOMES POSED
BY HER FRIEND.
• THE HOOK IS THAT SHE IS IN THE GRAVE YARD GRIEVING THAT HER FRIEND IS
3. GENRE AND STYLE
• THE GENRE FOR MY SHORT HORROR. THE REASON FOR IT BEING A
HORROR WILL BE DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS A GREAT THEME OF
BLOOD AND THERE IS A SUPERNATURAL EVENT WHICH WOULD NOT
HAPPEN IN NORMAL DAY TO DAY LIFE. THIS WILL MAKE THE AUDIENCE
FEEL FRIGHTENED AND THEY WILL ALSO FEEL ADRENALINE AS THEY
ARE WATCHING SOMETHING THAT SCARES THEM.
• THE STYLE OF MY HORROR FILM WILL BE TOLD BY FLASHBACKS. BUT
WE WILL SEE IT FROM THE GIRL THAT GOT KILLED SO THAT WE ARE
ABLE TO EMPATHISE WITH HER AS SHE HAS BEEN STABBED IN THE
BACK BY HER BEST FRIEND.
4. USP
• MY UNIQUE SELLING POINT IS THAT THIS IS
BASED AROUND A TRUE STORY. BASED ON
SKYLAR NEESE THAT WAS KILLED ON JULY
THE 6TH BY HER BEST FRIEND. THIS WOULD
BE A UNIQUE SELLING POINT AS THIS IS
LOOSELY BASED ON THE LIFE OF A REAL
GIRL. PEOPLE PREFER WHEN THE STORY IS
MUCH MORE REALISTIC. ALSO THE FACT
THAT FRIENDS CAN BECOME ENVIOUS OF
EACH OTHER AND ARE ABLE TO KILL ONE
OF THERE OWN FRIENDS. ALSO I AM BASING
5. THE BUDGET
• THE EQUIPMENT THAT I WILL NEED TO
FILM THIS SUCH AS THE CAMERA,
TRIPODS AND OTHERS WILL BE PROVIDED
BY THE SCHOOL. THIS THEN MEANS
THAT EVERY PIECE OF FOOTAGE THAT IS
FILMED IS OWNED BY THE SCHOOL AS I
WILL BE USING THEIR EQUIPMENT. IF WE
WERE TO BUY OUR OWN EQUIPMENT FOR
FILMING IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE
EXPENSIVE BUT THE FOOTAGE WE FILM
WILL STILL BELONG TO THE SCHOOL AS
WE HAD SIGNED AN AGREEMENT. I WILL
6. FUNDING
• THE FUNDING THAT I
WILL NEED FOR THE
SHORT FILM WILL BE BY
KICKSTARTER. THIS HELP
INSPIRING ARTISTS AND
FILM MAKERS START UP
THEIR OWN CAREER. THIS
WILL BE HELPFUL AS NOT
ALL PROJECTS ARE
FUNDED HOWEVER NOT
7. AUDIENCE/ TRENDS
• THE TARGET AUDIENCE IS AIMED AT YOUNG
ADULTS DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS A LOT
OF GORE AND VIOLENCE IN HORROR MOVIES
AND ALSO THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT
WATCH SHORT HORROR MOVIES ONLINE ARE
MAINLY AIMED AT 18 YEAR OLDS AND
OLDER. NORMALLY BASED ON THIS TYPE OF
GENRE WE SEE FOLLOW THE INNOCENT
PERSON THAT IS GETTING ATTACKED BY THE
THING THAT IS AFTER SOMEONE OR
SOMETHING. IN MY SHORT FILM IT FOLLOWS
THE STORY OF THE INNOCENT PERSON
WHICH IS THE GIRL THAT GO KILLED AND IS
8. DISTRIBUTION
• MY SHORT FILM WILL BE
DISTRIBUTED ON PLATFORMS
ONLINE SUCH AS NETFLIX.
OR IN SHORT FILM FESTIVALS
SUCH AS THE LONDON FILM
FESTIVAL WHERE THEY
SHOWCASE LOW BUDGET,
SHORT FILMS.
9. CERTIFICATION AND CONTENT ISSUES
• MY FILM WILL HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED
SO THAT I AM ABLE TO MEET ALL
THE CRITERIA FROM MY SHORT FILM
TO BE CERTIFIED. FOR EXAMPLE TO
HAVE A THEMES OF BLOOD AND
GORE AND MILD SEXUAL SCENES
WILL BE AGED A 15 AS GORE AND
MILD SEXUAL SCENES WILL NOT BE
APPROPRIATE FOR ANY AGE LOWER
15. HOWEVER THE BBFC WILL NOT BE
10. LOCATION
• MY LOCATION IS BASED
AROUND A CEMETERY THIS IS
A PLACE THAT IS FILLED WITH
DEATH AND THIS WILL BE
USEFUL AS THIS IS A HORROR
FILM AS IT CAN BE DARK AND
ISOLATED.
