1. Pitch for Film Opening Title
Sequence
By Chris,louisa,vicky,yasmine
2. Film synopsis/outline
The film is about a boy who is obsessed with a
supply teacher. He found himself writing a
comical diary of his plans to kidnap a supply
teacher, however he had no intentions of going
through with his plans. As the story goes on, he
finds himself with a fully developed
sophisticated script of murder.
3. Outline of opening sequence
• Character: The character in the opening sequence is the antagonist in the story which is a twist in
the modern storyline of a protagonist being the centre of a story for example Superman.
However as we get to the end of the film his status changes and he is seen as the protagonist, by
his actions and motives. His character is seen to be mentally unstable and insecure .
• Atmosphere: This will be shown by the use of music that we use.
• Genre: The genre is specifically for people who like horror/physiological based films which will be
established through the blood that we use at the start of the scene. It a way, this is a metaphor
or foreshadowing of murders taking place. In this case, it is the main character who is the murder
and seeing blood on his hands justifies this.
• Sound: Opera music soundtrack. Voice over of Chris speaking aloud his thoughts. We may be
using a non diegetic soundtrack to create a sense of delusion in the character’s mind as we want
the audience to acknowledge that he has something wrong with him. Surreal music will set the
scene and establish his motives.
4. Target Audience
The target audience to our film will mostly be at teenagers, especially as it relates to
college life but in the eyes of a psychotic killer. This genre helps pull in various
people of any gender and age who are interested in the type of film and the
meanings behind the storyline. As the main character is a man it may also appeal
more to men/ boys with a similar experience because it is easier to grab the
audiences attention if there are references to daily life or imaginary.
Many horror films are rated 15. At 15 there can be strong threat and menace (as long
as it is not sadistic or sexualised), although the strongest gory images are unlikely
to be acceptable.
5. Market Fit
• Films such as Disturbia who grossed $117,760,134 (Worldwide) and Fear
with Mark Wahlberg in 1996 are the types of films which have the same
sort of storyline as ours. The target audience would have the same
interest in ours because of what the film involves; violence, terror,
sexuality, language and drug use. It was said for the film Distubria from
the High-Definition Digest Staff, mostly audiences over 20 years old found
this film interesting than people with a younger age. This is what we
intend to pull in, people who are old enough to understand the issues
which we feel strong about.
