One Page Pitch

Presenting my ideas;

I created an one page pitch which briefly explained the ideas of my thriller opening. 

The title of the thriller will be 'NOCTURNAL' because the setting will be dark and at night and it sounds mysterious. 

 

Film genre; Horror thriller

Length; 125 minutes (opening around 2 minutes).

Target Audience; Choosing the target audience is such an important step because its based on who you want to aim your film at and which age group you think are going to be most interested (obviously anyone is able to watch the film but we think this age group are likely to enjoy it the most). The age group I chose was 15-24 and this is because they are more likely to be able to relate to this film and the characters are are around this age also.

Story Synopsis; A group of girls and their gay best friend decide to go for a weekend away in a cabin. (The cabin is owned by one of the girl's uncle). One by one throughout the film each character will disappear and not return apart from one girl who is left to believe the killer has been caught and she is safe. The film skips to when the girl has grown up and has a family of her own and her children want to visit the cabin which her uncle owned but turns out the experience which took place when she was younger, may be relapsing...

Visual Realisation; The film will be fast based as it skips from her teenage years to her adulthood.

Similar films include, 'The hills of eyes' and 'Wrong turn'.

How does our thriller differ and why it appeals to our target audience? The thriller will be more realistic and relatable (obviously not the disappearing part) which is directly aimed at the younger audience. The film has a moral and educates young people abut the dangers of being independent in an unsafe area. It shows the consequences of what could happen in different/new situations if people don't be aware and aren't careful.
