Our film pitch

Natasha Dingwall & Megan Bowdler

Psychological thriller

o We have chosen to concentrate on the sub genre: psychological thriller.

o We have an interest in psychological thrillers, and enjoy the psychological element of the genre.

o Thrillers are set in locations that reflect real life, therefore they are easy to access.

o The target audience for our film is teenagers/young adults, we have chosen psychological thrillers as this genre is popular among this age group.

Film Ideao The overall narrative for our film is a young girl who has

been brutally murdered in a field located close to her home. o The audience and stock characters are unaware of the

antagonist at first.o Throughout the film, the protagonist tries to discover who

has killed the young girl. o Meanwhile the girl’s spirit gives psychological clues using

conventional thriller props e.g. rocking chair, dolls and creaking floorboards/doors.

o Despite the obstacles faced, the protagonist discovers the shocking controversial antagonist at the end of the film.

Our film opening

o The beginning 2 minutes of our film will consist of:o An establishing shot of an empty, isolated field, to give

an immediate insight into the location that our film is based in.

o This is followed by various shots of a young girl’s dead body in the field.

o The girl is then shown in spirit form which establishes the conventional psychological thriller genre.

o There is no indication of the murderer or reasoning behind the killing within the opening.
