The movie pitch proposes a short drama film titled "Closure" running 4-5 minutes. It would tell the story of two characters, Cycles and Emma, reminiscing on a bench about their past. An argument ensues where truths are revealed, leading them to go their separate ways with closure. The purpose is to get recognition and build a portfolio to further the director's career. The theme is how letting go of someone can improve your life over time. Primary audiences would be teenagers and young adults who could relate, as well as film producers.

6. Character
Breakdowns
■ Cyles – Cyles doesn’t really have the motivation to do what
Naomi wants to do and is fine with not fulfilling his dreams.
■ Emma is very outgoing. The audience will see this by the way
she talks about what she wants to do. Naomi is a very upfront
and honest person.
11. Pre-
Production
■ Development – A movie that was about an hour and a half long
should suffice nicely; I can dive more into their personalities and
why they are the way they are.
■ Screening and Distribution – The short film would be film would be
uploaded to YouTube due to the amount of users that use the site. It would
be hard to convince channels like the BBC to screen this without it being
educational, plus this is the only short film I will be making.
■ Legal and Ethical consideration – There is nothing in my product
that would cause legal and ethical problems. Their will be actors
with different ethnic backgrounds and different races to show
diversity.

teenagers and young adults due to teenagers and young
adults being able to relate to this a lot. The audience will also
