FILM PITCH

Pitch
Task 1-
Genre- My trailer/poster is based on horror.

My settings will be in a school where there are 4 characters, one is the actual villain and the other ones are victims, the other two students turn into a villain. There are three students, and one teacher. Furthermore, it will be based in a classroom. I chose a classroom because it creates tension due to the fact it is enclosed and therefore confines the characters and this creates tension.

Task 2- The trailer is about three girls in a classroom, they have been told to stay in for detention, when they get told they stay in for an hour.

Task 3- In the trailer there are three girls who have a detention after school.  The villain will be one of the students called Sophia, during the detention the teacher goes to get a cup of coffee, the three girls. The villain goes behind the classroom checking out the displays. Eventually blood starts dripping from her mouth. The other two are sitting down looking at the clock at the front, Sophia’s red blooded hand come to word a student (rubabs) and grabs her from her hand, rubabs then faints, the other student (harmony) gets anxious and screams, harmony then runs around the classroom getting chased by Sophia, Ms Nichols comes in and drops her coffee.  . Rubab wakes up like a vampire; Harmony gets killed by Rubab, white smoke comes from her. Ms Nicols runs out her classroom and leaves school 30 minutes before the detention. As she reaches home, with no one there, she starts hearing noises, then heads towards her bathroom upstairs to freshen up. She then leaves everyone and comes out the bathroom, she has a weird feeling, she prays and goes to sleep, and will she have the next morning?

Task 4:
- Log line- three girls in a detention, one of them turns into a zombie, eventually all three girls become villains.
Target audience- this film is based for people at the age of 12 to 35
- Main characters- teacher, the three students and the main villain who is Sophia.

Representation & Theory




Rush Hour (1998)

I have chosen rush hour, This trailer shows this is because it has a lot of different ways of expressing this movie, for example there are two cops with the same job, but totally different, one of the cops Chris Tucker is an american nationality, as well as Jackie Chan as a Chinese nationality. This trailer shows how interesting it if especially for teenagers because there is a lot of action used. The typical stereotype used in this trailer is as soon as Chris saw Jackie  and saw he is Chinese; he thought that he would not know English. Chris also questions him by saying "can you speak English", Jackie doesn't answer. I think that even though there is a Chinese hero and there is also a Chinese villain. Chinese people could be presented both positively and negatively in this movie.


Equilibrium
equilibrium-
-when  both heroes meet at the airport.

disequilibrium-
