MY PITCH-FRIENDSDENIESHA FREEMAN

NARRATIVE/ HOOK /IDEA

• MY PITCH WILL BE BASED ON THE HORROR FILM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRODUCE. THIS WILL BE TOLD IN A NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE. THERE WOULD BE A GREAT USE OF FLASHBACKS. THIS PRESENTS THE IDEA THAT THE PAST THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST COULD BE DISPLAYING THE FACT IT IS COMING BACK TO HAUNT HER FOR KILLING HER BEST FRIEND .

• THE IDEA WILL BE BASED ON A TEENAGE BEST FRIENDS. BUT BECAUSE OF ENVY FOR THE OTHER FRIEND. SHE KILLS HER BEST FRIEND WHICH THEN WHEN SHE IS AT THE GRAVE YARD SHE VISITS HER FRIEND GRAVE. WE THEN FIND OUT THAT HER BEST FRIEND IS ALSO PRESENT WITH HER AND THEN SHE BECOMES POSED BY HER FRIEND.

• THE HOOK IS THAT SHE IS IN THE GRAVE YARD GRIEVING THAT HER FRIEND IS DEAD AND THAT SHE HAD KILLED HER FRIEND.

GENRE AND STYLE • THE GENRE FOR MY SHORT HORROR. THE REASON FOR IT BEING A

HORROR WILL BE DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS A GREAT THEME OF BLOOD AND THERE IS A SUPERNATURAL EVENT WHICH WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN NORMAL DAY TO DAY LIFE. THIS WILL MAKE THE AUDIENCE FEEL FRIGHTENED AND THEY WILL ALSO FEEL ADRENALINE AS THEY ARE WATCHING SOMETHING THAT SCARES THEM.

• THE STYLE OF MY HORROR FILM WILL BE TOLD BY FLASHBACKS. BUT WE WILL SEE IT FROM THE GIRL THAT GOT KILLED SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO EMPATHISE WITH HER AS SHE HAS BEEN STABBED IN THE BACK BY HER BEST FRIEND.

USP• MY UNIQUE SELLING POINT IS THAT THIS

IS BASED AROUND A TRUE STORY. BASED ON SKYLAR NEESE THAT WAS KILLED ON JULY THE 6TH BY HER BEST FRIEND. THIS WOULD BE A UNIQUE SELLING POINT AS THIS IS LOOSELY BASED ON THE LIFE OF A REAL GIRL. PEOPLE PREFER WHEN THE STORY IS MUCH MORE REALISTIC. ALSO THE FACT THAT FRIENDS CAN BECOME ENVIOUS OF EACH OTHER AND ARE ABLE TO KILL ONE OF THERE OWN FRIENDS. ALSO I AM BASING IT AROUND THE FILM THE VISIT AS A GHOST POSSESS A GRANDMA.

THE BUDGET • THE EQUIPMENT THAT I WILL NEED TO

FILM THIS SUCH AS THE CAMERA, TRIPODS AND OTHERS WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL. THIS THEN MEANS THAT EVERY PIECE OF FOOTAGE THAT IS FILMED IS OWNED BY THE SCHOOL AS I WILL BE USING THEIR EQUIPMENT. IF WE WERE TO BUY OUR OWN EQUIPMENT FOR FILMING IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE BUT THE FOOTAGE WE FILM WILL STILL BELONG TO THE SCHOOL AS WE HAD SIGNED AN AGREEMENT. I WILL NOT BE USING A LOT OF PROS AND COSTUMES. THIS WILL ALL BE LOW BUDGET.

FUNDING • THE FUNDING THAT I WILL NEED FOR THE SHORT FILM WILL BE BY KICKSTARTER. THIS HELP INSPIRING ARTISTS AND FILM MAKERS START UP THEIR OWN CAREER. THIS WILL BE HELPFUL AS NOT ALL PROJECTS ARE FUNDED HOWEVER NOT ALL PROJECTS ARE FUNDED.

AUDIENCE/ TRENDS • THE TARGET AUDIENCE IS AIMED AT YOUNG

ADULTS DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS A LOT OF GORE AND VIOLENCE IN HORROR MOVIES AND ALSO THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT WATCH SHORT HORROR MOVIES ONLINE ARE MAINLY AIMED AT 18 YEAR OLDS AND OLDER. NORMALLY BASED ON THIS TYPE OF GENRE WE SEE FOLLOW THE INNOCENT PERSON THAT IS GETTING ATTACKED BY THE THING THAT IS AFTER SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. IN MY SHORT FILM IT FOLLOWS THE STORY OF THE INNOCENT PERSON WHICH IS THE GIRL THAT GO KILLED AND IS NOW HAUNTING HER FRIEND.

DISTRIBUTION

•MY SHORT FILM WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ON PLATFORMS ONLINE SUCH AS NETFLIX. OR IN SHORT FILM FESTIVALS SUCH AS THE LONDON FILM FESTIVAL WHERE THEY SHOWCASE LOW BUDGET, SHORT FILMS.

CERTIFICATION AND CONTENT ISSUES •MY FILM WILL HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED SO THAT I AM ABLE TO MEET ALL THE CRITERIA FROM MY SHORT FILM TO BE CERTIFIED. FOR EXAMPLE TO HAVE A THEMES OF BLOOD AND GORE AND MILD SEXUAL SCENES WILL BE AGED A 15 AS GORE AND MILD SEXUAL SCENES WILL NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ANY AGE LOWER 15. HOWEVER THE BBFC WILL NOT BE CLASSIFYING MY MOVIE.

LOCATION

•MY LOCATION IS BASED AROUND A CEMETERY THIS IS A PLACE THAT IS FILLED WITH DEATH AND THIS WILL BE USEFUL AS THIS IS A HORROR FILM AS IT CAN BE DARK AND ISOLATED.
