1. Pitch
Name: Three
We decided to name our film “Three” because of the theme we are planning our film
on. The witching hour is known to be between 12pm and 3am which is were the idea
of „three‟ came from.
Pitch: The witching hour is a the time of day when supernatural creatures such as
witches, demons and ghosts are thought to appear and be at their most powerful, and
black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically past midnight or the "time in
the middle of the night when magic things are said to happen."
One of the earliest, if not the first, appearances this term makes is in Washington
Irving's short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Here, Irving uses "witching hour"
and "witching time" interchangeably. Both terms reference midnight, and are used to
conjure in readers a sense of supernatural anxiety. There is little evidence the term has
had any practical use prior to this, and that Irving coined the phrase after having
grown up around New England and touring areas where the Salem Witch Trials took
place.In several of Shakespeare's plays - specifically Macbeth and Julius Caesar -
ghosts and other supernatural phenomena take place around midnight, but the term
"witching hour" never appears. But in the play 'Hamlet' we hear young Hamlet saying
'Tis now the very witching time of night'
There is films based around the witching hour but nothing set primarily on it, so we
thought instead of creating a film which has its idea copied from other horrors, which
have been done to the death, we would create an original horror supernatural horror
film.
