The Power point for my film that I am creating as part of my G321 media project. It is a short presentation on what the film will contain and what it is about.
1. G321 OPENING PITCH
The scariest film to have ever been shown In the
space of two minutes
Because in Hartlepool nobody cares if you
scream
The number one horror from the people who
brought you “Ninja Man: The Reckoning” and
“gunshot chase”
By Thomas Hutchinson and Harry Lake
2. PREMISE
The story revolves around a man who is possessed by an evil sprit of
unknown origin.
At first he is skeptical but when he begins hearing voices he soon changes his
mind
The voice starts off useful telling him various things he can do to improve his
life but the commands soon get more sinister…
3. TARGET AUDIENCE
The film will be rated a 15 so that it can achieve a balance between being a
true horror but also reaching a wider audience
12a films cannot really be true horrors as there content cannot be really
terrifying
So that is why we decided to make the film with a 15 age rating in mind.
The film will be created for people who are already well acquainted with
horror and we don’t plan to change people’s minds on the genre. If they don’t
like horror they probably wont like our film. We are creating the film with our
audience in mind and we don’t want to stretch our audience any bigger than it
needs to be.
4. OPENING
The film opens with the first case of paranormal activity that occurs with the
main character.
He is sleeping when he is awoken by unknown sounds and whispers.
He gets up to investigate and he begins to find various things around the
house that aren’t quite right
This is followed by a shock reveal of the demon in the mirror and that is
followed by the main title of the film
5. THEMES
The tone of the film will be very dark so that the horror is more effective.
Light colors and bright rooms will be a rare occurrence so that the mood is
kept at a consistent tense and suspenseful.
Jump scares will also be rarely used as we want to create a truly chilling and
suspenseful film and jump scares remove that aspect.
6. FINANCES
The horror genre is the 7 th most popular around so therefore we will not be
using a massive budget. We know our audience will not be as big as a summer
blockbuster and the film will be tailored to accommodate this.
Special effects will be sparingly use to make sure that the budget is kept low
and we are making sure to not hire too many crew members or actors.
