1. Film Synopsis
The horror genre is one of the most popular filmgenres in the world because it makes the
audience scared and on edge at all times. For my film, I’m heavy influence by the 1974
horror filmThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre as my films setting is based in a building in the
middle of nowhere by instead of a cannibalistic family, I have only one sadistic kidnapper.
2. The Logline
The plot of the fil is going to be about a girl who gets kidnapped by this man and she gets
taken to an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere and she has to find a way out of
the building before something bad happens to her. The filmis called Tightrope. The reason
why it’s called tightrope is because this filmis also a thriller. I wanted the film to also be a
thriller.

When she wakes up in the abandoned building, she sees her kidnapper opposite her holding
a baseball bat and threatening to kill her if she ties to escape. She is tied up with some rope
so she can’t escape. At this point in the filmwe see that Amy is starting to change, she starts

fences where she can escape. She sees the police pull in at the abandoned building and she
makes a run for it and when the kidnapper is just about to catch her, she makes it to the
police officers and the kidnapper get arrested. The film end with Amy feeling like she can do
anything and knowing the fact that she is safe.
6. Target Audience/USP
The age rating for my filmwill be 15+ because the filmwill show scary scene that will not be
appropriate for a younger demographic. This film is for the people who want to be on the
edge of their seat and feel sympathetic to all of the protagonists. The film will rely on a non-
restrictive narrative to make the audience feel like that they will have to look after Amy as
she doesn’t know where the kidnapper is but they do and this will make the film stand out.
