Task 4 Pitch By Danielle King Black White

Task 4 - Pitch By Danielle King

Black & White, Silent film. My first idea is to create a short film aimed at teenagers. The idea is to create suspense and make the audience something supernatural is going on. A group of girls come together to do a seance, before the seance they all try scaring the youngest of the group by jumping out on her etc. Once they start the seance, they believe nothing is happening and all feel disappointed. Then slowly things start to change, a TV turns on and off, phone calls being made to different member etc. It becomes really intense and all the girls are terrified. They then hear laughter coming from behind the sofa, which scares everyone further, apart from one girl who recognises the laughter. When she checks, she find her little brother giggling behind the sofa. It was him all along!

Examples The whole of this film shall be created in the style of a black and white, silent film. Black and white, silent films may be old fashioned and appear boring. But once you’ve watched a couple of these I’m sure you’ll have a different opinion! http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=j. Mfnn. N_2 -n. E&feature=related http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=XRa. Ypl. Hrdys Creating this film in black and white, would be highly beneficially to it as using only music in the background allows you to create a sense of fear and suspense and also to manipulate the audience on to feeling what you want, and making the twist at the end of the film to become unexpected. Doing this would then make the film more of a success!

Awareness My second idea is based on creating awareness of domestic abuse. A pair of couples have dinner together, and appear to have a good time. Then once the night ends, we see the reality of a couple life. One woman’s boyfriend because abusive towards her, insulting her cooking and implying she’s sleeping around. He then becomes nice again, until they go to bed and then he turns nasty again by being aggressive towards her and scaring her. Pinning her to the bed at one point, she’s in tears, terrified begging him to get off of her. He does and walks out of the room leaving her there alone. The idea of this film is to make people understand that you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. People only allow you to see what they want, not always the truth. So always be there for people when they come to you as things maybe worse than you think.

Examples To prove that creating an awareness film would be successful I found some examples which I hope will make you understand more. http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=UJ 0 -x.

Pc I want to create something that gives the same impact as the previous video. Helping to promote where people can get help if they are in similar situations.

Details Budget: £ 20 -£ 30 Crew needed: Producer, Director, Sound & lighting, Camera operator, Editor, Make up & Costume, Script writer. Actors needed: Guest couple, abusive boyfriend and his girlfriend. Health & Safety issues: I shall carry out a risk assessment Legal issues: Locations & Music

Stereotypes My third idea is to produce a short film that shows the differences of men and women through stereotypes. The short film shall show a man bragging about how he sleeps with many different women throughout the week and being praised by his friends. Then the story of a young attractive woman who also sleeps with different men on a regular basis, but gets insulted and branded a slag by her friends. After seeing both versions it shall revisit the man and show he has caught HIV but doesn’t know who from. Then we see how the woman respects herself to say no if there is no protection available, which then promotes safe sex. I feel this would be a successful as it would reach most teenagers, and allows them to see that safe sex is best.

Examples Different variation of promoting safe sex http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=y. KG 15 l. Aif 28 • http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=4 Vgq 7 b. Sacr.

Using these shall help me to create my own safe sex advert.
