This document outlines the key elements of a movie pitch for a thriller film called "The Delivery". It discusses how thrillers aim to keep audiences on the edge of their seats through anticipation and suspense. The antagonist would be one of four teenage girls and the protagonist would be a middle aged pizza delivery man whose identity changes throughout. It provides examples of films that influenced the idea like "Prom Night", "You're Next", and "Final Girl". Key scenes, locations, costumes, iconography are outlined to develop the plot where the girls are drugged and tormented by a masked killer.

1. The Delivery
Movie Pitch

2. Sub-genre
Thriller is a sub- genre that revolves around anticipation and suspense.
The aim for Thrillers is to keep the audience alert and on the edge of
their seats. The protagonist in these films is set against a problem – an
escape, a mission, or a mystery. No matter what sub-genre a Thriller
film falls into, it will emphasize the danger that the protagonist faces.
The tension with the main problem is built on throughout the film and
leads to a highly stressful climax.

3. Antagonist & protagonist
• The antagonist will be one particular blonde, innocent (virgin, does
not take drugs) out of the four teenage girls.
• The protagonist will be an middle aged man, who's identity changes
throughout; pizza delivery man with hat to a masked killer.

4. Films that have influenced the idea
• When researching different thriller films I cam across four which I
took ideas from; ‘Prom night’, You’re next’, ‘Final girl and ‘Would you
rather’. They are all quite modern; 2000’s.
• All fours films have similar aspects where the antagonist are chased
and tortured, however some have twists to make the story more
interesting, which I hope to succeed.
• The idea of having a masked killer was from the film ‘You’re next’
• Being chased through the woods was from ‘Final girl’. Four male
killers chase one girl, however I wanted to keep it original by having
one male killer as it is more threating if the teenage girls are afraid of
him.

5. ‘Prom night’
• ‘Final girl’; blonde teenager.
• Protagonist; middle aged man, teacher, new hidden identity.
• Icons; knife.
• Locations; under bed, house, wardrobe, mirror,
prom hall, elevator, abandoned basement area.
• Events of murders; killer finally unwraveled.
