Planning For Pitch Presentation.

Narrative description:
As a group we have many different ideas to the storyline for our opening sequence.
1) A women is incredibly jealous of her brothers fortune, and ends up killing him.
The opening sequence shows her killing her brother and the rest of the film shows the order of events that led up to the death.
2) A family go on holiday for a week, not knowing that a killer, who stalks the oldest daughter of the family, is staying in same hotel as them.
The opening sequence shows the killer stalking the daughter of the family.
3) Two girls find a dead body in a shop, and the whole store gets locked inside.
The opening sequence shows the two girls finding the dead body.

After discussing the ideas carefully as a group we decided on doing the first idea. The sub genre of the film is crime. We chose this because its an interesting genre and can have a lot of ideas from the genre.
The conventions of a crime/thriller are:
- Has to add a crime, either successful or failed.
- Focus on the criminal rather than the policeman/ investigator.
- Emphasize on action over psychological ascpects.
- The crimes could include: robberies, murders, chases, drug dealings and many others.

Characters:
Main character - Grace. A middle aged women who is jealous of her younger brothers success and fortune. Single, with a 5 year old child.

Harry - The younger brother who has recently come into a lot of money via the international trade of bananas.

The costumes that the characters will wear will be:

Grace: Everyday clothes to symbolize the difference between her and her brothers fortunes.

Harry: A suit, as he is rich and wealthy.


Location: Sisters house. As we are allowed out of college site, we have a wide selection of locations that we could film in.
For example :
Town center
Characters houses
Fields and large open areas.


Opening Sequence: Harry (the brother) will turn up to Graces house (the sister) unaware that he is going to be murdered. Conventionally this part of the film would be at the end, however, having this at the beginning will instantly catch the audiences attention. They'll being having a conversation and Harry will start talking about his big success and business, which angers Grace. She then goes to make him a cup of tea, and pours some poison in his drink. Harry then passes out and wakes up in Grace's garage. He's tied to a chair, she then tortures him till he dies.
