1. A2 media film pitch;
Archetype. An OrganicProcuctionsOriginalshort.
A film noir set in a futuristic dystopia.

2. Storyline- Archetype, A gritty crime noir.
A young man sat alone in a all night diner, a trilby on his head and a steaming
cup of coffee at his table. He sits alone reading the new paper silently. A voice
over begins and he explains he’s been dragged into a life of crime by a woman
he is obsessed with . As his voice over talks we see a young woman walking
past the window of his booth, his eyes follow her as she walks into the diner
and his voice over stops. The young woman is dressed in a trench coat. (a
classic femme fatale) She sits in a booth opposite him and they nod at each
other faces stern.
With that she stands and puts her hand into a pocket, we see the tip of a gun.
She moves over to the counter slow and confident before threatening the
waitress, At first the waitress disagrees and causes a stir. The male stands
abruptly and knocks the table back in a threatening way and throws his hand
into his pocket and producing the tip of a gun. The waitress then agrees and
hands all the money from the till. The female leaves the diner with a smug face
and the male slowly follows after. They join in the streets and embrace before
slowly walking into the horizon both holding the gun between the two of them.

3. Characters: We’ll need three actors; A femme fatale, A
male and a waitress.
Actors; we’ve got a possible actor to play our male and are
using various websites to search for other actor’s.
Location; an all night diner. We could use an old café or a
chain fast food store like McDonalds or Burger king.
Style; a gritty crime noir. For example Reign of
death:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa9O5PTNct8,
The Bloody olive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgbMnAmv24and Tell-
Tale:http://www.shortoftheweek.com/2010/09/07/tell-tale/.

4. Influences.
The things that we as a group have been
influenced by are the 1940’s visual styling’s
along with the themes that run throughout the
short such as crime and romance.
Another thing that influenced us was the
futuristic style of the setting though we most
likely won’t use this in the film.

5. Contingency plan and Costs.
Back-up:
Location: If we don’t get permission to film in a diner or café, we
plan on changing the story slightly and having it set in a park.
Actors: We’ll ask several actors to star in our film and use some as
back-ups and under-studies.
Costs:
Props: We’ve set a budget of £50 for costume and props most of
which can be purchased from Charity shops. Though we may
have to put more in for the Mis-en-Scene such as the 1940’s
styling.
Actors: We’ve agreed that if asked we’ll pay for the actor’s travel
etc.
