Our presentation pitch

Narractive ideas
Our opening sequence will be a chase, there will be people being chased, people running in balaclavas and also people that have been caught and are tied up. It will be a gripping opening as the audience will want to know why people are being chased and who is catching them and why. It will create lots of questions for the audience so therefore creating suspense.

Character/Actor ideas
There will be two criminals and two victims. One Victim will be running and one already tied up. The criminals are working for someone that has got a grudge against their dad who was a judge that wrongly put them in jail for a five year stretch for an assault. They are back to seek revenge as they were tormented by other prisoners and guards in the prison, making them go crazy. So, they are fighting against the system and higher people in society. This would become obvious as the film progresses.

Location
Grand arcade level 6 car park and lift. We can create a scary atmosphere up there. This picture gives a rough example of what the location will look like.




Certificate
15 as it is a film aimed at older teenagers and adults. It is violent but the images that are seen will be quite mild violence.



Subgenres
crime thriller - There is a clear antagonist and protagonist and a rivalry between them. There will be an action scene and is all based around the one crime, the kidnapping.

Titles
We are going to have the titles on freezes of each character. Every time there is a climax, just before we will freeze it for 2/3 seconds and have there name. We are going to have the font in a bright colour such as red so it contrasts with the dark background. We will have the font in a font that looks like it has been written by a type writer.

Music/Shot information
We will have dramatic music to go with the action and to help set the mood of tension and suspense. We will have a range of shot distances and types. We will have panning shots to show the loctation and some of the action. We will have a tracking shot to put people in the view of the criminal/victim. We will use close ups on the person that is tied up to show there reaction.

Intertextuality
Our film is slightly based on the thriller film, 'Taken'. With the kidnapping aspect. It is also based around the film 'Sleepers' as the background story of our thriller revolves around the same sort principal in the film as they too are out for revenge due to a horrible experience in prison.
