The document contains pitch materials for two short film ideas - "Nightmare Friend" and "Just Friends". "Nightmare Friend" follows a lonely man named Ollie who befriends Felix, though Felix is actually a psychopath who kills people. The film would show their friendship developing over three acts and ending with Ollie helping Felix hide a body. "Just Friends" is about a woman stalked by her friend, who is secretly in love with her. When she shows interest in another man, the stalker kills him. The film would follow the stalker's perspective in act one, the woman's in act two as strange things start happening, and act three where the stalker confronts

1. Pitch
Film idea one- Nightmare Friend (Working title)
Film idea two- Just Friends (Working title)

2. Film idea one- Nightmare Friend
Length of the film- I would like the length of the film to be between 10-12
minutes to allow character development.
Tagline- You should always stalk your friends first
Key Characters- There will be 3 main characters in my film.
Ollie Magor- This will be my first main character, he will be playing the lonely,
depressed and depraved human who just needs a friend. His clothing will be
comfy, he clearly doesn’t care about himself and appearance
Felix Occisor- He will be seen as very charismatic- he will play ollie’s first and
only friend. He is a go getting person, cool and kind. However he is actually a
psychopath who seeks out lonely people and pretends to be there friends and
eventually kills them, however he actually takes a liking to Ollie and they do
become friends

3. The third main character doesn’t have a name in fact he does not have any
lines in the film, he will be the corpse/victim of the other main character of
which they both help hide after Felix had killed him.
The Low key Characters- the low key people in my film will be Ollie’s family
as they will only be in a couple of scenes and have a couple of lines in the film,
however they do add story and character to the film and comedy.
Overview of the Synopsis.
Act one – During act one we will only see Ollie and his family, this is where we
see Ollie in his prime and truly experience his loneliness I want this to be
conveyed during a long scene of him being bored in his room and a very
awkward conversation with his family about finding friends. We then see Ollie
and Felix run into each other (somehow not worked it out yet) and hit it off
and become friends

4. Act two – During act two we see the two actually become close friends this will
be shown with over the top montages of the two doing activity's with a very
couple vibe to it. I want the montage to be shown as a long pan from left to
right fading to black each time they switch activity's. I want to show how
months have gone on and how they have become friends. Act two will end with
Ollie looking on his phone and on a map seeing that his Felix is nearby, so he
goes over to find him- when walking over- the camera is following his feet
while doing this is it switching between two men fighting .When the Ollie
arrives to his friend we see his friend standing over a dead person.
Act three – This is where we see Ollie at a cross roads facing a problem, help
his friend and keep it or hand him in and lose him. In the end he goes against
better judgement and helps him. For the rest of act two I want to see the two
of them trying to hide the body this will be shown with bizarre camera shots
to show the comical view of it. I am not how I want the film to end yet,
whether they should get caught or if they make it.

5. Script- Set during act three.
Ollie- Why did you kill him?!
Felix- I am not sure.
Ollie- What do you even your not sure!
Felix- I mean I don’t get the question… its just a hobby I enjoy it like exercise.
Ollie- no that completely different
Felix- not really
Ollie- What do you mean not really!! One is illegal!!
Felix- guess so…
--Awkward pause—
Felix- so… could you help me with this
Ollie-… s.sure

6. Story board.

7. Target audience- The target audience for my film with be 15 + however I do
not believe that the younger audience will be able to understand all of the
jokes properly as it could be too dark or just too odd and strange behaviour.
The main audience would be 16-and above, people who are in too comedy and
other things. I could reach my target audience by putting a trailer on YouTube
trying to gain attention for the film. I could also create posters and take clips
from the film and post them on social media’s to gain more attention, this
would hit my target audience as they youth and young adults typically use
social media the most.
From and Style- The form and style that I want to follow would be the director
style and editing style of Edgar Wright as I love all of his work and how he
has done stuff. I want quick shots fast and interesting, new ways to shot
things rather than old and boring ways. I want to include a lot of panning
shots for the montages. I will be using special lenses to get the effect that I
want and am intended to do for the film to get the most view across, dark and
dull until he meets the friend where he changes to be happy for a while, and
so it will get a quality picture.

8. Marketplace-I believe if filmed correctly and the script is good enough that it
could do quite well in film festivals as it is a new concept and I do not believe
that dark humour has been properly utilised yet and there is a lot of area to
work with and a lot audiences wanting it as it is a popular genre. The actual
market for this will be done for YouTube and uploaded to there, this is not for
personal gain this is just so people can view my film and enjoy it. If this first
film goes correctly there is a chance for a sequel if the two successfully hide
the body and get away with it.

9. Film idea two- Just Friends
Length- I want the length of my film to be 10-15 minutes to allow character
development.
Tagline- Why can’t people take a hint
Key Characters- again there will be three main characters in my film.
The stalker- he will seem charismatic, kind and loving to other main
character, he is madly in-love with this person in his eyes she could do
absolutely nothing wrong, this is the problem if the other main character
treats her wrong or she gets too close to somebody else he will get rid of them
some way or another. He will have a brilliant Job with lots of money and it
shows in his personality slightly arrogant, it also shows with the clothes that
he wears, expensive brands and external items. He is a very creepy guy
watches this girl in his spare time it’s the only thing he really cares about, he
believes that he is some sort of guardian angel but is actually a creepy guy
ruining her life.

10. The Female-Will be the one who everyone seems to fall in love with, beautiful
and a nice flowery personality. She is starting to notice that something weird
is going on and everyone is going away from her one by one slowly and she
only has one close friend, who she is starting to believe is the problem.
The crush-Will be the victim of the stalker, we meet him when talking to the
other main character in a café, the people obviously have a connection and the
stalker is visibly upset and disturbed. He looks well dressed, casual and is
genially just a nice person to be around it seemed like anyway from the short
time we meet her.
Synopsis
Act One – During act one I want the perspective to be from the stalkers point
of view, we start off with him staring at the women from the café we see him
visibly upset as he see’s the crush with her, we see him map his face note
everything about him. After we see the crush leave the stalker storms into the
café and starts asking the women multiple questions about him. He tries to
manipulating her. After she leaves he follows her home from the café and just
watches for awhile, after being a creep for awhile he tracks down the crush
and proceeds to harass him and tells him to leave her alone, he ignores him
and threatens to call the police, after ignoring multiple threats he does
something more drastic and kills him.

11. Act two- During act two the perspective is going to be from the woman. We open
up in the café we see her talking to the interested man and we see in the
backgrounds the stalker in the window starring at her through the window. We
then see her just walk home and we can see her visibly worried, we see the killer
in the background stalker her without her knowing .She gets home and starts
watching TV while watching the camera pans over to the left and a dark figure is
seen watching her from outside looking in. She calls the guy she meet earlier
after feeling a little creeped out as she is hearing noises outside ,she becomes
concerned after he never picks up after many calls. I would like her to then notice
something in her house maybe the door knob turning in shock she runs to the
bathroom and locks herself in.
Act Three- During act three it opens with the stalker over the corpse of the crush,
he is focusing on his phone on the floor that is being called by the women, he is
struck with anger and storms over to her home he tries to brush himself off and
picks up a coat to hide the torn top. We then pick up with the perspective of the
women after hearing noices in her home, she runs into the bathroom and locks
herself in, she hears the stalker from outside saying anyone home, she unlocks
the door and confronts the man he asks if she is okay and that he wanted to
apolgise for earlier, she starts to reply and says that it is okay, this when she
notices the coat, she stops dead in her tracks pushes him

12. she quickly grabs her phone and runs to the bathroom again locking the door, the
stalker bangs on the door and trying to explain, and shouting that he loves her and he
would do anything ,the banging turns into kicking and smacking, she yells down the
phone for the police to come immediately, she grabs something hard and waits and
smacks him over the head repeatedly until he is still on the floor and stops to move
just quiet flinching. The police arrive and she explains everything, the police do more
digging into the stalkers life and home and it turns out that he has got rid and scared
many of the other crushes and people away from her.

13. Script During act three
Stalker- Hello anyone here?? Just checking in to see if you are okay?
--hears the door unlock and footsteps come forward towards the man—
Women- Why are you hear?
Stalker- I felt bad about earlier I snapped I shouldn’t have been so hard to that guy earlier I just don’t
know him, if you like him… date him(knowing he is dead)
Women- Well he hasn’t picked up any of my calls any---
--She stops dead in her tracks noticing the coat the stalker is wearing- it’s the crushes-
Women- Ugh what have you done!!
--Runs into bathroom with phone and locks the door—
Stalker- Let me in I can explain… I am sorry I just can’t let you be with anyone else they don’t deserve
you.. I..I love you.
--Kicks and Bangs on the door---
Women- Why have you done this… you were my friend… just my friend..”shouts to the police to come
quickly and fast” – she picks up something big and hard and waits for the door to break
--The stalker finally breaks in and then she smacks him with it until he stops moving and is only
twitching in a bloody mess--

14. Story Board

15. Target Audience- The target audience for my film will be young adults mainly directed
towards young adults, I do believe that the concepts of this film will be easily understandable
to all the audience. The people who are going to watch this film are going to be people who
are into drama. I could reach the audience by putting out a trailer on YouTube and over
social media to get people attracted and build up attention, I could also make posters and
again put clips up on social again to build up attention for the film.
Form and Style-The form and style I want to follow is Martin Scorsese’s as he uses
everything to his advantage especially the silence in his movies, as he uses it to further the
tension in this films which is what I want to do. I want brightness of the film when in the
perspective of the stalker to be dark, dull and depressing, and when in the perspective of the
woman I want it to be bright. Also whenever the stalker is messaged I would like the
brightness to be slowly lowered and turn dark to convey the hidden message of what he truly
is before she knows.
Market Place-I believe if filmed correctly and the script is good enough that it could do quite
well in film festivals as it is a basic concept but if I do it well it can do very well. The actual
market for this will be done for YouTube and uploaded to there, this is not for personal gain
this is just so people can view my film and enjoy it.
