Our Pitch Ideas

Genre

Crime Thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, and double-crosses are central ingredients.

Psychological Thriller: In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical.

Our idea is based around a psychological thriller where the characters are watching a video on the TV, but then the TV goes all fuzzy and one character has a look to see what the problem is but then people break in, there's a struggle then a black screen which then fades into a shot of the characters who were watching the TV are tied up and being tortured psychologically.

During the section where the characters are tied up, the people who are torturing shall be doing a voice-over to affect the tied-up people mentally.

We were thinking that the best location would be to film in one of our houses then to film the scene where the characters are being tied up in a dark room or shed, this would add to the psychological genre as the characters who are being tied up wouldn't communicate with the torturers face-to-face.

We will mainly be using people from our group to have as the characters, but may have involvement from our friends. We will need 3 characters to film.

Furthermore, during this opening sequence we shall include opening credits, title, introduction to the main characters, music, variety of shots, establishing the location and finding out who the antagonist is and the protagonist is.

Our film would be based around the film 'SAW' where there is a lot of psychological effects such as torturing the characters, we will be using voice-overs to create this type of thriller and to instill fear into the characters minds.

We made a mood board to help with our ideas.



This is the sort of setting we would like our torture room to be like.



This is the effect we will use on the t.v when the lights go out and film goes off.
To help with the sudden effect of the tv going fuzzy, we will use diagetic sound from the tv to create a more scary atmousphere.


This is an example of a person tied up on a chair, however our person will be tied up in a more tense environment.
