60 Second Pitch

We had to complete the task of creating an idea for a teen horror film that later on, we will develop and produce. To promote our idea clearly, and to find a way of getting good constructive feedback, we were asked to shorten our idea down into 60 seconds, which Mr Henton (who was acting as an important production person from Caveman films) filmed on his iPad, and showed to the rest of the class.



We decided on the name Project : Shadow.
The film is about two girls who have to make a film project for their media class (relevant and simple!). The girls venture into the woods to begin filming, and they start seeing things which begin to scare them. The atmosphere suddenly changes completely, things become dark and eerie, and shadows are seen drifting around. As the film progresses, the girls begin to figure out what the shadows' intentions really are, and the film follows them on their journey of trying to escape from the shadows' clutches, as their world slowly caves in around them.



Me and Lauren shortened our idea down into different main events/ main points, and developed a small script. We took this with us when going to record our pitch so that we had reminders of the main events, and we had a breakdown of the idea. This made it so much easier to promote our film idea clearly. Below is the script.




Kim - Our film is called Project : Shadow. Our film is set in a small town in 2011.
Lauren - A group of girls have the task of creating a horror film for school.
Kim - They find themselves the perfect location to set their horror film.
Lauren - Unfortunately shadows are lurking, and they sense danger after coming across numerous dead animals.
Kim - As the girls head home, a number of shadows appear and the atmosphere suddenly changes.
Lauren - The film follows the girls as they try to escape the shadows and slowly lose everything around them.
Kim - We chose to use typical horror conventions for this film as the target audience can familiarise, and from research we found it is what people enjoy the most.
Lauren - We decided on a film rating of 15 as some scenes may not be suitable for a younger audience.


And lastly, here is the video of our 60 Second Pitch for Project : Shadow.
