The document outlines several props that will be used in a production to convey information about the main characters and their relationship. A photo frame with a picture of the couple will establish that they are in a relationship and have history together. Flowers in a vase will suggest the husband is loving but will also be used to hint that he is manipulative and abusive by having the wife pick them up after a fight. A plastic glass will be shattered on the floor to show the intensity of their arguments. Hoover and washing up gloves represent the wife's role as a stereotypical housewife who always has to clean up after fights between the couple.

Pitch presentation
This pitch presentation proposes an opening sequence for a psychological thriller film about a teenage girl who witnesses her mother's murder. This traumatic event causes her to become a killer seeking revenge. The opening sequence will use conventions like low lighting, quick cuts, and tense music to show flashbacks of the murder through a montage. This will build tension without revealing details and introduce the main character, a flawed protagonist who transforms into an antagonist. The visual style will differentiate the past and present through lighting and costuming to portray the emotional impact of the murder. The target audience is teenage girls who will find the main character relatable. The unusual plot of a female teen as the psychotic antagonist is positioned as the selling point.

Most respondents wanted to see a flawed protagonist and setting the film in modern times would be easiest. The survey also informed that characters should be established before story in the opening and fear was the preferred theme.

Individual pitch
This document summarizes an individual pitch for a song performance based on mental health issues. The song chosen was "Revenge" by XXXTentacion for its deeper meaning about modern mental illness and society. The performance aims to include a narrative and depict a common situation leading to mental health issues through mixed video. It takes inspiration from Logic's song "1-800" which also focuses on mental health. The artist Blanc was selected for fitting the genre through a focus on important social issues while being humble and original.

It describes scenes where the main character is trying to forgive past mistakes while holding a picture of a loved one. It then suggests performance shots of the singer cutting between singing and walking down a lonely road, representing the emptiness in his life. Further scenes show the singer pointing to a TV displaying world events like school shootings and the North Korea crisis during lines about "the things I hear". The video ends with the singer walking towards a dead end while singing about rotting in his grave, then turning off the TV and clutching his heart.
