Homework: My Film pitch

Narrative

Equilibrium


Logan is a director on the set of a new film. The film is progressing well and he hopes to have it finished soon.


Distruption


He finds that crew are disappearing, one at a time. He also received a note that there has been a bomb placed in the area and is set to go off in 4 hours. He hires a team of five people to track down what is responsible for this. They eventually stumble upon the person who is responsible and chase after him in a high speed chase scene. They fire shots at him but miss, he fires back and take out two people.

Restoration


The team catch up after the villain walks into a dead end and find out that is Steve, a person who was recently involved with the film project but was fired and is out to get revenge. This person and bomb are stopped with minutes to spare and the filming safely continues. 

Iconography

Many props often seen in action adventure films will be visible in the film. For example, guns are usually associated with this genre of films and they will be used often in my film. The bomb will have a countdown, building up suspense and desperation and making it obvious it is an action adventure film.

Characters

The team of 5 people - Hero, save the film and crew by stopping the villain.
Logan and the film crew - Princess, need to be saved.
Steve - Villain, plans to kill the crew and ruin the film.

Setting

Will be mainly set in a city, such as London. Because London is highly populated, the heros will find it hard to locate the villain and there will be a lot of moving around and chase scenes involved, connoting action.Marketing


Posters and trailers will portray this film as a very action based film, with a bit of mystery. The poster will have a man pointing a gun upwards while a bomb behind him ticks down. The trailer will give an introduction into the film, explaining about the bomb and the following shots will be of the team trying frantically to locate the villain in time.
Viral marketing will be achieved through an online game in which a player can try and locate the bomb before it detonates

Changes to be made

1. The film will be set in real time.
2. Setting will be more detailed.
3. Actors will be chosen and characters will have more details.
4. There will be more visual references included.
