Teaser pitch 1
This is practice filming for our main task. This shot of a girl in the bathtub is going to help us towards our main task. Our idea is: With her parents on holiday, Eva Vancamp decides to live life to the full. But who will protect her when an uninvited guest turns up.
This is our new pitch. This connects with our main task. Which is gothic horror.
19 year old Ava Vancamp is not alone. Praying for her dead mother in a local church, she senses an eerie presence looming in the shadows. And it strikes.
The feedback was the following:
At the end of the second pitch, 'And it strikes' seems to be telling too much of the story. Making it indirect could have a better affect and also by using a cliff-hanger to intrigue the audience. We received this feedback from our fellow classmates and teacher and this will help make our film even better.
This film will appeal to our audience, because at this stage in their life they may be interested in religion and find it familiar to them and so this relates to our gothic horror genre, because our main task is set in a church. This will also give them an idea and feel of what it'd feel like to be buried alive. This film is different to other horror films in a unique way. We chose the weapon the antagonist uses to knock out the protagonist--a shovel--as it is commonly associated with a graveyard, for digging graves and would not be seen with an ordinary person. It is also different because a lot of horror always portray the antagonist as a man but we decided to go against the stereotype and use a woman instead which puts our film in a different light with other horror films. Originally our main character's name was Elizabeth but we decided to change it to Ava Van Camp. This makes our main character unusual and incredibly unique because the name we changed it to is uncommon.
