Transcript of My UK Film Pitch
Treatment
The genre of my film is a thriller-drama.
My film is called ‘Promises’ because of all the promises the characters make and break throughout the film. Running time is between 90-100 minutes.
Overview
What is the film about?
In the beginning, a group of teenagers at a house party, Maya Montgomery walks home alone in the dark through the forest. She hears something behind her, so she starts running. She suddenly stops, the scream goes black and you hear her scream .
The middle of the film will be Maya discovering what happened to her, and they will find out that Jenna Lewis killed her when she revisit the forests and starts having flashbacks to what happened. She doesn't know why she’s still there, but it becomes clear when a new students starts at their high school.
The end of the film, Maya will save the new girl from getting killed by Jenna and it will end with a bright white light will be on Maya and the ending credits will start. This will give me an opportunity to create a sequel if the film is successful.
Treatment
Main Characters
Antonia Thomas – She is an ideal person to act as Maya Montgomery. This is because her visual appearance suits the role I was looking for. She is best known for her role in ‘Misfits’ as ‘Alisha Daniels’. This will benefit my film because fans of misfits will find out that she’s starring in my film and instantly want to go and watch it.
Main Characters
Ben Hardy – Ben will be a suitable person to act as Scott McCall. He is suitable to act as Scott as he is visual representation of what I imagined him to be. In addition, because of his previous role in EastEnders, it will appeal to fans.
Main Characters
Jorgie Porter – is best suited to play Jenna Lewis, also known as the jealous girlfriend. Just like the other two actors, I think she is visually representing a stereotypical jealous girlfriend. She will also be attracting her previous fans of Hollyoaks.
Pre-production - Clothing
These are the ideal clothing ideas for Maya Montgomery. As they are kind of casual but not overly casual.
Pre-production - Clothing
Just like Maya, I wanted Scott to also look casual as its just a small house party.
Pre-production - Clothing
I wanted Jenna to stand out from all the rest. So by dressing her up this way while everyone else is dressed casually will defiantly make her stand out.
I’ve chosen a red dress and it’s bright and bold and you will be able to stop her in a big crowd, which is what I was aiming for.
Pre-production - Location
The first location I will be using is a house, for the house party. The house will have to be located somewhere in the UK in order for it to be a UK film.
The forest will also have to be in the UK.
High school
