UK Film-AO4:Presentation
Pitch
Kashmire Hawker
+Genre
The Genre of the movie I’d like to plan is Horror to really show
the emotions that can be brought to a viewer through the type of
film that can be shown. I wish to use nightmares, revelations and
fears within the movie to demonstrate what can be made using
just a few things.
+ Narrative-Beginning Family of 6 in Birmingham; 2 boys, 2 girls and a Mum & Dad-
knowing about event, they move to fully equipped underground
bunker where they stay for 3 days
2 days after, they reappear and after a 3 hour trek round
Birmingham & Black Country, they realise that they are the only
humans left on the Northern hemisphere
Upset about things, they must move on and a bit of research shows
that the safest place to go is Mt Snowdon, North Wales-A camera
installed 2 weeks before hand showed 85% of the mountain
survived the strike due to rock being a very strong substance can
survive events like this
3 more days in the bunker of planning the route of 135 miles &
3560ft high, they set off on The Journey To The Top Of The North
began
+ Middle 15 Miles into the trek in Wolverhampton, the car that survived the
strike has 1 of it’s tyres burst thanks to the bad roads they carry on
due to vast amount of supplies they have and as a result the tyre is
replace very quickly
Ghosts descend on them quickly however after the 1st problem is
sorted and have to go 5miles off course
Near Shrewsbury, a message from the ghosts says they have 7
days to reach 5 miles of the foot of Snowdon and that the land is
now ours. They threaten those who don’t make it…
10 Miles later, the roads end as they reach the Welsh Boarder
meaning they have to walk 73 Miles ASAP-12.5 miles later,
tragically the younger brother dies of pure exhaustion
Affect of this is big on family but 4 days of sheer determination &
beating the enemy using the resources they had, they are with 2
days left just 7 miles from the foot of Snowdon & near safety…
+ Conclusion An hour of the next days walking, the 5 miles boundary is
reached-once reached the foot, the supplies are loaded on to the
trains at the start of the Snowdon Railway-the job of getting it up
there was the father & the only brother driving the train
Mother & the daughters had to walk up-about half way up
however, the older daughter tries to fend off ghosts and as a result
jumps 300ft into a rock, killing her instantly
For father and on, about 75% up, the ghosts rock the train for 5
minutes but they survive and safely reach the summit thanks to a
huge gush of wind
Mother & Daughter relay news to lads at the top who break down-
they join them 90 minutes later and settle for the night
Following day, without any trouble surprisingly, body of other
daughter recovered and rebuilding of The Northern Hemisphere
can begin
+Storyboards (Using Sample Scene)-
From Story-Board That
+ Sample Scene & Scripthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skEpYTxvi4U - Sample Scene
+ Three Key Scenes1. Within the beginning, they quickly discover that no human
civilisation remains within this part of the world. This really
hammers home not only the task they all have but the
experience they have just had.
2. During the middle, they reach Chirk Wood which is the beginning
of Wales and where the roads end. Again it gives that sense of
the task they have but does despite the huge challenge increase
there determination to be successful (As shown in the sample
scene)
3. During the conclusion, they all eventually reach the summit of
the mountain. It all begins to sink what they’ve just done and
there successful mission is the start of the huge rebuilding
process the world has to undertake.
+ Running Time & Target AudienceThe running time of the movie will be around 105 minutes so all
aspects and parts stated above will be covered in the most detailed
way possible.
The Primary Audience will be for predominately horror fans with fans
of Sci-Fi and Adventure being Secondary Audiences. The reason for
this is the script being around something extremely horrible and the
movie having a nature which is trying to do a Sci-Fi element
differently. The Target Audience will be for 15-25 Year Olds and for
those in E of the Social Economic Scale as they have
disposable incomes. Both Male & Female audiences should be
interested.
+ Suggest A Cast Shauna Macdonald as the Mother
Molly Kayll as the Younger Daughter
Emma Watson as the Older Daughter
Eddie Redmayne as the Father
Daniel Radcliffe as the Older Brother
Issac Hempstead-Wright as the Young Brother
Neil Marshall as the Director
Tim Burton as the Producer
Chris Dickens as the Editor
All of the people listed above have been within the film industry from a young age and have had some sort of experience of being in a film of the genre and nature stated above. I feel that they are all mature for the type of movie I want to make and as they are well known by regular cinema goers and have solid fan bases, fans wouldn’t mind them back on the big screen.
+ Representation & What Makes It A UK Film
Represents two parts of UK-Edgbaston, Birmingham (England) &
Llanberis (Wales)
Edgbaston an Upper-Class part of Birmingham-compare that to
Highgate which families mainly live in Council Houses
Contrast of Llanberis, Wales is stark to Birmingham
Only 4000 live there & 85% speak fluent Welsh-only Welsh &
English people live there
A UK Movie because of actors all being British born & bred
This film type hasn’t happened in USA yet on big scale
Nature of this film hasn’t been made here in UK for very long time
+ Legal & Ethical
Copyright shouldn’t be a big issue due to this type of movie not
being done here in the UK for a very long time/never
Royalties-things like branded clothing would have to be paid for to
a business/celebrity who owns the copyright to them
Representation stated in more detail in previous slide-all however
should be good as stated
There is no offensive material-these type of films have been done
in the past and details of the film being high doesn’t seem to show
any negative material
+ Classification 15 Rated
Strong Language throughout
Some scenes involving Gore
Limited/Moderate Scenes of a Sexual Nature
No Drug use-only prescribed medication to be used
Moderate use of Threat Vein
+Production Schedule

this as 24 Weeks
+Production Schedule
Production Schedule-12 Weeks long
+ Production Schedule
Based on a 12 Week Schedule; this shall be X3 longer than Production so think
this as 36 Weeks
+ Contingency Plans A plan b has to be in place so the production process can
continue swiftly as possible if aspects don’t go according to plan.
Major elements that have to be thought about is a more suitable
location to where the production process is being managed from,
an altered script that could be used if it becomes clear that things
are not working from an early stage and different actors if people
appointed to the roles either aren’t pulling their weight or can’t
continue for various reasons.
To further see if something is bad, throughout each day of the
process, anything that hasn’t gone to plan will be taken note of
and as a result, improvements can be made during the process.
