The Pitch for our film

1. Holly Taylor, Charlotte Wickens, Daisy
Steel and Pete Scrimshaw.

2. • The name of our production company is: Warped
Pictures.
• We chose the word ‘warped’ because the definition of it
is ‘ to make or become bent or twisted out of shape,
typically as a result of the effects of something’,
• We liked this concept as it links to our chosen genre of
psychological thriller in which things are twisted and that
aspect is encouraged.

3. • The chosen name of our film is The Searchers.
• We chose this as it summarises the overall plot line so
it’s easier for the audience to know what it is about so
they can decided whether they are interested or not.
• Also the fact that its only two words long makes the
audience question the mysteriousness and may
encourage them to find out what they are searching.

4. • The main character is Pete Scrimshaw
played by Pete Scrimshaw, Pete is the
missing person who everyone is looking
for, he is dark and inexplicable.
• The other characters Daisy, Charlotte and
Holly. Their role is to find Pete and they
are very determined and private.

5. • Pete has gone missing from a mental institution and the
staff there do not want to contact the police as it would
ruin their reputation and company so instead search for
him themself. The searching characters give up hope
after countless efforts which always fail, the film fades to
black, it then reveals the missing person is in fact alive
and is still moving on. It leaves the film on a cliffhanger
and then shows where the searching characters went
wrong as the missing person tricked them or led them in
the wrong direction.

6. • Who are the character and what do they
look like and behave like.
• The setting in which the plot takes place.
• Montage sequence
• Parallel editing

7. • The Silence of The Lambs: This influenced us as the
setting was in a prison so sparked the idea we could also
do this.
• Psycho: This sequence influenced us when planning
what genre to do as we thought it would be interesting to
do a psychological thriller to keep the audience
guessing. Also in the film, there is an example of
someone pretending to be someone else which makes it
very mysterious and hidden.

8. • Our target audience is predominantly
female but also males are included.
• Our age range covers the groups of 15-24
and 25-34 because of the research we
found on pearl and dean.
• We aim to appeal to the viewers who
frequently watch psychological thrillers so
that they could recommend it to their
friends.

9. • What do you like about the genre
psychological thrillers?
• We're making a missing person related
plot. What do you think of this idea?
• Do you have any advice for our up and
coming film?
