1. Our pitch is for the best teen
horror this year:
THE DEADLY STRIKE!
2. Synopsi
s
Watford's local rivals Luton Town have never been so angered
following their relegation to the Blue Square Premier league. The
consequence is that the feud spirals out of control and Luton's
jealousy results in some brutal attacks and riots. Innocent teen and
promising youth footballer Darren falls victim of one of these attacks
in the opening sequence when he is unexpectedly slaughtered in
front of his terrified girlfriend, Chloe. A deluded Chloe attempts to get
to the bottom of the murder with or without the help of the police for
help. Watford fans are still be murdered and Chloe needs to find the
truth before another victim dies. However, as she digs deeper into
the case, she realises there is more to the murderer than she first
anticipated. Can Chloe find the truth or will the murderer find her
first???
3. Resear
ch
These are the three films we decided to
research in order to help us with ideas for
our film. We used Goal and Bend it like
Beckham, as they are both footballs films,
but also Psycho as it is classed as one the
best horrors of all time. Psycho also gave
us the idea of shocking the audience by
killing the main character early on in the
film.
4. Genre and Target
Audience
The genre of our film is teen horror and therefore our target
audience is teenagers. We believe that our film will interest both
genders of this age group, as there is the football story for the
males, but it is also a horror to attract females as well
This movie is made for anyone who loves a story of revenge,
mystery and lots of gore…
.
5. Budget
Our Budget: £5million
We decided this by looking at our reached movies.
Goal’s Budget: £7million
Bend It like Beckham: £4million
We decided to go in between these two budgets. This was because
our movie is a horror as well and will therefore need more special
effects than Bend it like Beckham.
We did not use the budget of Psycho because the film is dated and
therefore the budget would be unrealistic.
