This is the pitch for a short film titled For Heaven's sake.

1. Financial pitch for our short film
For Heaven’s sake
By Isabel, Folake and Ola

2. Production Company:
Still in action Productions

3. • The log line for our film is :
• A dissatisfied guardian angel attempts to
guide a clumsy teenager through one hell of a
day.

4. Our film proposal:

5. This is the basic plot line of
our short film. It also
features some props that
will mainly be shown in the
scenes and also some of the
emotions that the characters
go through.

8. Character profiles:
Faith:
My name is Faith and I am a recently
unemployed guardian angel. I’ve been
unemployed for a while now and am still
looking through newspapers for a chance to
show my skills off again. I wouldn’t say I'm the
best guardian angel but I try my best to make
sure that everything could go as well as it
could. But somehow always ends up going
wrong. I’m really friendly and quite good at
making new friends. Even though I like being a
guardian angel, I would like to try something
new in my life to see if I’m any better at it.

9. Olivia:
My names Olivia and I’m a teenage girl who is
still being forced to go to school. I don’t like
going to school because everyone teases me for
being so clumsy. But I don’t mind being clumsy
as I think I’m getting better at not falling over.
But my parents still tell me off a lot for dropping
things. My parents and I don’t have a very good
relationship as everything in do seems to be
wrong in their eyes. This makes me feel so
lonely sometimes. But lately I’ve been feeling
like I’m being watched. But I’m not scared. It
makes me feel more protected.

10. Fall:
My name is fall. I work as a grim reaper but
its not what I really want to do, I only got the
job because I failed my guardian angel
qualification exam. My job makes it really
hard to make new friends since most of
them have just died, which makes it very
lonely. Lately I keep getting called to a
teenage girl but it’s just near death
experiences and she doesn’t actually die.
This has happened so many times but I know
soon it will be my day.

11. Locations needed: The girl’s houseIsabel’s house (including stairs, kitchen, dining room and bathroom):

12. Isabel’s bedroom: going to be
the girl’s bedroom

13. Outside of Isabel’s house and the road outside

14. Roads to and from school

15. Hallways within school

16. Outside of school

17. Ideas for casting:
The step I took for casting is I
advertised our short film on a
website that helps to get
actors jobs. I included
requirements and also
included a brief outline of the
film.
I then went on to do a brief
description of the guardian angel
and any requirements for her that
people auditioning for her might
need to know.

18. I then went on to
give a brief
description of the
grim reaper for
anyone willing to
apply for it.
I then did the same
thing for the young girl
including details such as
her clumsiness for
people applying, to
know about.

19. Ideas for Costumes:The main costumes we will need are:
Smart clothing- For the girl to
wear throughout the film. This
will be free as Ola owns these.
Black cloak- For the grim
reaper to wear at the end.
This will cost £11.97 from
Amazon.
A white dress- For the
guardian angel to
wear throughout the
film. This will cost £16
from Boohoo.
White wings- For
the guardian
angel to wear
throughout. This
will cost £5 from
Amazon.

20. Ideas for Props:The main props we need are:
An alarm- to wake the
angel up in the morning.
This will be free as Isabel
already owns one of
these.
A toothbrush- for the
girl to use in her
morning routine. This
will be free as Ola can
just use her own.
A newspaper- for the angel
to look in for job
advertisements. This will be
free as Isabel owns some of
these.
A phone and headphones- to
distract the girl on her way
home. This will be free as we
already own these.
Some food- for the girl to
make her parents dinner. This
will cost £2 at Tesco.
Fake blood- for the grim reaper
to step in. This will cost £1.64
from Amazon.

21. More props
A school bag and some books- for
the girl to drop in and around
school. This will be free as we all
already own these.
Fake poo- for the girl to step
in. This will cost £1.97 from
Amazon.
A car- to (fake) hit the girl with. This will
be free as Ola already owns one of these.

22. Permission slips
Since most of the scenes will be prominently
filmed in Isabel’s house, we mainly need
permission from her mum.

23. Sample script

27. Sample storyboard
These are the beginning
scenes of the short film which
show the guardian angel
hunting for a job and finding
one in a clumsy girl.

28. These shots then show the teenage girl going through her daily routine while the guardian angel
watches on.
