Film Final Ideas

Following my film pitch and the feedback I have come some solid conclusions about my film opening. Firstly, the name, I am changing it to Insanity. From the help of my feedback, I was able to choose this name, as it would link into what the rest of the film would be about if the rest of it was being created. I think that the name is gripping and would make the target audience question what the film is about. The target audience of my film is 15-25 as this is the likely audience of who would watch a thriller or horror film. I have also kept the idea the same, as from my pitch, my classmates thought that it would be a good idea and very gripping. I think from this, my USP (unique selling point) is the idea of my opening going straight into a dream that the person is having which is different as the film is based on the person and their dreams.

Film Pitch

In preparation for my ideas for my final film production, I produced a presentation that I presented to the rest of my class, where they could give me feedback on what they thought of my ideas and how I could improve. My presentation included the following information on it:

Chosen genre: Thriller

Concept of Film: Girl having a dream; she’s being followed/ stalked by another person, feelings of being surrounded, alone, suffocated.

Target Audience: 15-25

Possible Names: Follower

Settings: Somewhere that sets the tone; woods, alleys

Style of Opening: Person sleeping; zooming in and fading into their dream, in the setting and into the opening sequence of the person being followed.

Music/ sound: Dramatic, low/ deep incidental music; setting the tone.

From this I got some feedback from my class and teacher, who are all classed as the target audience for my film opening. From my presentation, I got positive feedback, with most of the people in my class liking the idea and thinking that it could make a really good film opening.  However one thing that they thought I would need to consider is the name, as one of my options of ‘follower’ seemed to be too ironic for the name. The way that I overcome this was by the class and my teacher asking about how the rest of the film would go so that we could get a name from this for my film opening. From this, we came up with names such as ‘Insanity’ and ‘insomnia.’
