Evaluation of pitch (By Jess Davies)

We need to choose horror conventions as the one’s showed in the pitch will not all be included in our opening. Our horror conventions will be: Fear, blood, killing, Villain, Victims, weapons, darkness, chase sequences, screams and violence.

We have decided to use a villain and an innocent victim as our stock characters

We aren’t going to being using an anti hero even though this is a usual convention however more seen in a gangster genre. But we are toying with the audience and how they should feel towards our villain, this is done by showing the past life of the villain and how he had been treated and what he has now become due to being victimised.

For sound we have decided to go with diagetic sound which is reliant on the weather and whether the wind will be blowing if however the weather is no good or the sound isn’t clear enough then we will put in the sound manually and then put in non-diagetic sound to create ambiguity.

We have decided to stick with our idea of using the forest, park and playground.

Our treatment is staying the same:

• Set in modern day England,
• 20 year-old man who has been bullied throughout his life, and is now seeking revenge.
• He has been bullied because of his general appearance, interests and personality.
• He hunts and targets his victims using the computers, gets information to contact and stalk his victims.
• The people he targets are those who harmed and hurt him the most, emotionally and physically.
• The ways he tortures and kills his victims are in relation to the way in which they have harmed him.

We realised that our roles may clash for example as the producer I was also meant to be starring in the opening but then we realised that for me to do that I cannot for fill the expectations of a producer. However with that problem we have realised that we can work around that problem by either asking someone else to star in the film or star in the opening myself.

The props that were shown in the pitch will not all be used in the opening sequence. We have chosen to use a football, high heels,

We have changed the location as it will be easier for all members of the group to get to. It will now be at the back of the school on the fields and the forest. This could also come in handy when filming the football scene as other children may be on the field.
