Script for Pitch

For my Final Major Project, I will be making a short film that will be
aired on Film4. It is a linear narrative as it will have a beginning, middle
and an end. The genre of the film will be Crime/ Thriller.
Quick Summary: Girl and boy go on a date. The guy asks her to come
back to his house, but she refuses. He gets slightly mad, they then go
opposite ways. She walks home by herself and passes an alley. A gang
of boys drag her into the alley. She gets mugged and attacked and then
they run away and leave her behind. She finds the guys who attacked
her and she kills them one by one. She then asks the guy she went on a
date with first for a second date and she then kills him.
There will be 5 characters that you see in the film The main female
character, the sub-main male character and the three side guys who are
involved in the gang.

The target audience for my short film is 15-25. This is because of the
narrative and content of characters and general idea, as it is very much
directed at a younger audience, because the characters in the film are
generally in this age range. Therefore, my film will also be rated a 15,
so that will be the minimum age for the audience and who can watch it.
My target audience would ideally be attracted to thrillers and crime
movies, excitement, intense plot lines that would keep the audience on
the edge of their seats.

In my movie my female role will be ideally seen as the protagonist - the


one who gets her revenge, rather than having a male role come and
save her. The age rating on this film is 15 as some scenes may be
disturbing for younger audience.
My ideal target audience would be both male and female
It would be aimed at older teens and young adults between roughly 15-
25. There wont be very gory scenes as it is a thriller, not a horror. The
socio-economic group would be very mixed, but mainly E-D, as it is
mainly aimed at students, unemployed or have a lower level of a job,
people who just got out of university
thrill seekers, This is because of the plotline of the movie and the
concept of it all, still feel sympathetic towards her rather than the boys
even when she kills them

My production is quite similar to I Spit in Your Grave. However, this was


since 2010, there arent many films with a similar type of storyline and
plot, therefore I think mine would have a unique style to it to other
crime/ thrillers.
the genre of this film is more of a horror, which distinguishes this one to
mine

I will need to travel to Burnham by train, which would be 7.50


Gun I have access to a fake gun at home, so there will be no
extra costs
Knife I Have access to a fake knife at home, so there will be no
extra costs
Fake blood - I Have access to this at home, so there will be no
extra costs
T-shirt (Black or white) I will get a plain Black and/ or white top
from Primark

Crew:
I will write and direct the whole production and film the majority of the film.
Shane and Sam will film certain part just to get some more angles in, for different
scenes.
Cast:
My female role will be played by Grace Millar, the sub main guy will be played
by Shane Hampden and the gang of guys will be played by Louis Brown, Jack
Barrett and Josh Hemphill.
