Pitch

Newline Cinema

• We would like to introduce our ideas for a new psychological thriller film in which we think would work successfully through the production of your studio. Through researching the history of your company we have worked out that your film studio would work best for us.

We believe New line cinema would be suitable for our film trailer, doing research into the psychological thriller history we found out that many of the top thrillers were made by your institution. When we discovered this we decided to research more into new line cinema to see if you would be a suitable film studio for our movie and trailer.Your institution has produced and distributed many other successful films that are of the same genre as ours for example:• Number 23• A nightmare on elm street • The conjuring• Final destination 5 • A butterfly effect.

Institution

Institution All of these main psychological thriller films are listed in the top rating chart in the psychological thriller genre and have all been very popular in the cinema and making a large revenue as shown below.We would like our film to be in the same situation and also for our trailer so it helps us to get a good response for our targeted audience to be captivated and wanting to go watch the film. This is why we would like our trailer/film to be distributed by your company as they have been giving a good response and have been very successful. As you are an American based studio we feel as though you can broaden our audience and can cover a international area which means our film can be widely available.

The conventions of a psychological thriller would be that it is based around ne main character who has a psychological problem. As the story progresses we realise that the character either is unsure of what he is doing or goes insane. A brief outline of our story is that it is based around a man who has schizophrenia which is related to the theme of psychological. He is married but unfortunately their little girl was murdered but the murderer was never found. As the man is trying to find out who killed his daughter he starts to go crazy trying to find out who done, he uses a shed to write down everything that he finds but he writes on the walls so it is easier for him to look through everything as he is going crazy. A consequence of him going crazy he starts to argue with his wife and as he is getting agitated with trying to find out who killed his daughter he tries to kill a man who he thinks killed her. In the last scene he is in his shed as he is unaware of what he is doing now, he starts writing down everything he knows but both sides of his state to try and find out who done it. At the end we find out that he killed his daughter as he has schizophrenia and is sometimes unaware of what he is doing. We believe this is conventional as it based around one character with a psychological problem, another convention that we believe fits the criteria is that there is a big plot twist as we find out that he was the one who actually his own daughter.

Plot

Our target audience is for both genders from researching into the genre we found out that our target audience is slightly more female based as they were higher by 10 %. The age range would be 18-32 as this is the age range that would watch a psychological thriller one reason for this is that this genre of films are aged at an 18 or over and another reason would be because the lot of the film would be relatable towards their lifestyles which would make it more appealing.The status of our target audience would be either students or workers as this is also relatable to the audience. The psychographic is that they like to listen to music and watch movies as the majority of people in our age range participate in this regularly. As the age range is also of young adults they will also enjoy going out with family and friends and socialising .Our target audience would also be overly interested in interesting and more complex storylines and as it is a about a character who has a mental illness it would appeal to the target audience as they are fascinated with this kind of plot with lots of plot twists.
