My Film PitchBy Connor Snell

Genre

• The genre that I have chosen is horror. I am extremely interested in this genre as I love watching horror movies, although I am aware of the degree of difficulty it is to pull off the conventions and overall a good horror film. It is about a young boy who seeks to find out what happened to 45 people who mysteriously went missing in the same area. This is because his sister went missing and he’s always been to himself and he wants some friends. He speaks to his Dad who says that the story goes that a sinister married couple who cannot have children, seek to kill all those in and who have a large family. Myth goes that the couple were recorded dead and they had drowned in a nearby river. Most of the scary scenes will be in a specific park, which is the said-to-be place where the murders happened. The audience would like to see it as it will contain all the conventions in a good horror film such as jumpy scenes, darkness, eerie music and appropriate props, etc. The audience will be ranged from 15-45. The certificate of the film will be a 15.

The opening sequence

• It relates to the rest of the film as it bases what to expect later on, however leaves lots of enigma as it doesn’t leave a specific storyline as anything can happen. It also signifies the genre as it uses all of the basic conventions in a good horror movie. The opening sequence will introduce the main characters which will be the young boy, the dead married couple and the victims of the sinister murders. It will also share where the consistent setting will be. Titles will be used intelligently and frequently through the video, using the horror movie to cleverly link in. The storyline has never been thought of before and it will bring a new sense and level of horror into the world.
