This is the script which Myself, Dan, Dane and Kieran created for our one page pitch which we went on to record the same day. The video of the pitch will be uploaded to my blog in due course.

What if premise: Max is a mentally unstable teenage boy (16) who suffers
fromschizophrenia.

on but the voices in his head?
In an environmenthe is completely unfamiliar with?
What would you do in his situation?
The story synopsis: This is about the happenings and occurrences when a
schizophrenic 16 year old teenager called Max is left to fend all for himself.
Max thinks he is taking a shortcut home but it turns into one of the worst
mistakes he ever makes.
Statement of Intent: The moral of this is to show the vulnerability of people
like Max in this kind of situation.
Visual realisation: Thelook of the film is quite dark and gloomy, this brings
negative connotations to the audience and makes them feel uncomfortable.
The pace of the film starts off slow to build tension and then the tempo
gradually increases throughoutthe film. Iteventually leads to a climax. An
example of this is in a film called Wrong Turn 6.
Audienceappeal: We believe that our target audience will enjoy this piece as it
has extremely scary values and this is ultimately what they are looking for.
