Original Film Pitches.



Pitch 1.

Genre: psychological thriller

A man wakes up alone in an unknown place. He wakes up in a hospital bed, the hospital is empty. He starts to panic and then sees on a security camera screen that there is a woman looking at the same screen. He gets up and looks behind him where there is a camera pointing at him then the camera talks to him and says “you are here for your own safety do not attempt to leave.”  The screen then goes blurry and turns to the girl looking at him and she says “your not safe here leave” she is tied to a chair. As she says leave the camera cuts out. Finds various things in the hospital which point to his way of escaping he then finds the girl and takes her with him as they approach what he thinks is an exit she says in the voice of the camera I told you not to leave and locks him in a room. Throughout the film there are flashbacks of his life in which he never does what people tell him.

Target audience: 15 and above not a family film.

The general idea of a man being trapped in a hospital trying to escape is good however in order to film this we would need the setting and mise-en-scene to represent a hospital, which would be very hard to do in order to keep the verismilitude constant. It would be hard to find a building to use which would create the desired effect. The storyline is also hazy as we were didn’t put much thought into it.

Pitch 2.

5 magazine geeks love superheroes, one gets into a fight by having a light sabre fight and accidentally hitting someone’s girlfriend. He then gets in a fight with a jock. And him and his loser friends deck him with their geeky moves, they decide to become superheroes. Meanwhile they hate gym class and they have a very horrible teacher called Jim Peak who turns out to be dating one of the guys’ mums. They have homemade outfits and look ridiculous and the plot involves them separating the gym teacher and the guys mum.

Genre: comedy

Target audience: 12/15 as some mature themes

Good idea, potential for a good film. Only problem is that comedy is hard to get right and could end up looking bad due to not being funny. I think it would be easier and look better to do a serious opening.

Our last film pitch we are going to use therefore we developed in further detail.
