Task 4: The Pitch

Film Plot Ideas:

As a result of our survey, we decided that the Genre we wanted to exploit was Thriller. We then came up with 4 ideas for our plot, and after analysing our ideas with the positives and negatives we came up with one solid idea.

Idea One:  The film would be set in a countryside mansion in a secluded area. The antagonist would be female to break the stereotype of male antagonists. The woman stalks the mansion leaving traces of her tracks behind. The protagonist finally finds the woman, who turns out to be mentally unstable.

Idea Two: The film would be set in Hopwas Woods, where the trees overhang to keep a dark secret. There is a legend that whoever walks in to the forest, comes out a different person, and it’s a change for the worst.

Idea Three: This film is set at a Theme Park, where a group of tourists from abroad have come to enjoy the thrilling experience the rides bring. But, someone isn’t too keen, and the tourists are in for a rollercoaster ride that is worse than any theme park ride and one that ends in devastating fashion.

Idea Four: In an alleyway in the heart of Tamworth, someone’s authority is about to be stamped. A cocky individual has met his match in a gang leader, who is sick and tired of being bossed around, so its about time he did something about it.
