Mine and my friends pitch for our 2 minute opening movie

1. Elevator Pitch

2. Genre: Thriller with subgenre of
conspiracy/physiological
Target audience/age rating: 15 – as some of the scenes
will be scary and quite unsettling.
Genre and Target Audience

3. Based on the story of ‘Isla de la Munecas’.
A woman finds a shoe and a doll floating on a lake from
where a little girl had drowned – she begins to hang
dolls on the tree nearby out of respect to the little girl,
however, the dead girls spirit is haunting the dolls,
hence the title of our film: The Ventriloquist
Plot

4. Diegetic – screaming, twigs snapping, wind rustling
Non-diegetic – slowed down “I’ve No Strings On Me”
song from Pinocchio, as this links in with the title and
plot: it is used for a creepy effect to entice the audience
and make them feel scared
Sounds

5. We’ll be using establishing shots at the start to give the audience an
idea of where the film is set to create the mise en scene – field,
abandoned lorry, lake, grey sky.
We’ll also use low angle shots as this introduces the idea that the
character and therefore the audience are being intimidated or
scared by something.
These shots are conventional within thriller films
Shots

6.  There will be fade ins, jump cuts, and black outs
within our film as these are all conventional of thriller
films.
 They will engage the audience and help create the
storyline of the plot to make it clear and
understandable
