The document outlines a pitch for a thriller film with the following key points: 1) The film will feature a female protagonist who is the victim, conforming to thriller conventions, and a mysterious antagonist dressed all in white who challenges conventions. 2) Scenes will be filmed in black and white with elements of red representing danger. 3) Key locations include an abandoned bomb shelter and a dark, confined school room for an interrogation scene. 4) The protagonist will wear red and white outfits symbolizing danger and victimization, while the antagonist wears all white challenging expectations. 5) The cast and crew will take on multiple roles in front of and behind the camera. Safety precautions are

1. THRILLER PITCH
Hollie, Tanisha, Ali and Eva

2. OVERALL
NARRATIVE
The overall narrative of our thriller film is that there is a female protagonist which conforms to the
thriller conventions as in thrillers the female is the victim who is stereotypically portrayed as
vulnerable. There will be an antagonist who will be dressed all in white to challenge the thriller
conventions, as we want to make the audience think as you don’t usually see the antagonist dressed
in light colours. There will be a frequent theme of red during our thriller representing danger. The
whole film will be in black and white with some parts that are red which sets our film apart from the
rest and makes it different from your typical thrillers.
This is where we got some of our inspiration for our thriller

3. Interrogation
SCRIPT
A-“You wanted me? Here I am.”
H-“Where's my partner?”
A- (Ignoring her) “You fools wanted me gone so you could get back to the way things were. But I
know the truth. There's no going back. We’ve changed things... Forever.”
H-“When are you going to kill me?”
A-(Ali laughs uncontrollably) “I don't, I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? No, no. No!
No you.... You... Complete me.
H-“You are putrid fucking garbage who kills for money!”
A-“Don't try to talk like a cop, you aren’t one of them. Even if you'd like to be. To them you are just a
freak. A bit like me. They need you right now. But when they don't.... They'll chuck you out. Like a
leper. You see their morals, their "code".... It's a bad joke. -Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're
only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see.”
(Hollie spits in Ali’s face)
A-“You, my dear, are going to regret that. (Smiles and brutally punches her repeatedly in the face)

4. LOCATIONS
Crick Bomb Shelter - We decide on using the Crick Bomb
shelter as we thought is would be appropriate for the
atmosphere for the film. It will pan out onto the open field
which is isolated and there are no people around which will
conform to the thriller conventions.
Guilsborough School - We found a room in Guilsborough
school where it is dark and eerie and we decided that it
would be perfect for the interrogation scene as it is quite
small and confined and shadowed, further conforming to the
thriller conventions.
Rugby – Our opening scene will be filmed in rugby on a
bridge where the protagonist will be looking out over the
industrial estate. We thought that it would give a sense of
authority as she is higher above everyday life, also showing
that there is more to her that everybody else, there is a
background story.

5. COSTUME
Protagonist
For the First scene when looking from the bridge, the protagonist Will have one item of red
clothing e.g a red coat which symbolises danger and blood, drawing the audience in. In
the interrogation scene the protagonist will be wearing black jeans with a light e.g white
top which will be ripped with blood on it to show that the protagonist is the victim as the
white shirt conforms to the thriller conventions.
The antagonist will be wearing white which challenges the thriller conventions as the
Nickel effect is where the antagonist wears black and the protagonist wears white, this will
cause the audience to think as it challenges them to question their own knowledge of a
typical thriller.

6. PROPS

12. IMPROVEMENTS
Since our first thriller pitch we have improved vastly as we have come together as a
group and given a focus to each member after we had decided what we were going to
do. Learning from our first pitch we found that we had to be more organised and we
need to focus on setting our ideas in stone so that we know exactly what we are going
to do.
