Film Pitch

An innocent girl who found out she wasn’t normal, mind power.

The dusty old blindfold is removed from my face, a tear trickles down from my forehead. I attempt to open my eyes, but the rays of light blind my eyes with despair, but then I sensed something, a strong vibe coming from a far. I clench my eyes as tight as I could. Something unusual was happening, I tighten my eyes even harder to attain a more focused image. Then the faded images became focused slowly but surely, I saw an old hallway with glass pieces shattered on the floor. I catched a glimpse of his eye, black, piercing and cold. I could hear his footsteps whilst he was walking “Cling, Cling, Cling”. The noise stopped. He reached out the rusty old door handle and began to turn it. I opened my eyes to an instant thinking it was just a dream till I heard a loud piercing creek sound coming from behind me, something was approaching me “Cling, Cling, Cling”…

The extract which you have just read is from an upcoming movie “Mind” this movie will have a genre of adventure & action/Horror. I have chosen these genres to produce one thing, original. The movie will consist in big action packed scenes with features such as blood. I have chosen to have a certificate of 15 due to the fact that there will be violent scenes which some younger viewers may find horrific and impossible to watch, there will also be strong language included. The date of which I’m planning to release “Mind” is in the half term of October 2012 as that’s when teenagers will all have spare time, not only that its also because its very close to Halloween and by watching a action packed horror movie before Halloween might excite the teenagers for Halloween. The target audience is very common for this movie, its for both girls and boys which are around the age of 15-25 I chose this specific age ground as they would be the group which would be more enthusiastic and interested in action packed/horror movies. I have chose an actor which is known by most people around the world “Will Smith” I have not only chosen him because he has done great movies, I have chosen him because I feel he would do an outstanding job in the opposite area he is use to (e.g. Villain). I also want the main actress to be a new an upcoming actress who will be played by Scarlett Hardy, this will be the first movie she will do and I think this will make her suitable for the role as she is enthusiastic and entertaining.

This film can be compared to a Marvel film such as Hulk, X-men and Spiderman but with a twist as for this movie I aimed for people with powers and big action scenes but with a spooky side to the movie. The budget I am aiming for “Mind“ is around £200,000,000 as this movie will consist in lots of stunt scenes which will have to be done by professionals, this movie will be very action packed and have lots of extravagant scenes. I also want a one actor in particular which is “Will Smith” but his role in the movie wont be like his other movies, I would like “Will Smith” to play as one of the assassins in the movies, not just because he is an outstanding actor but because he also has a huge fan base and if we changed Wills usual personalities to the complete opposite it will impress and interested his fans, meaning the fans would like to see the movie. Of course the fans would want to see a movie with there favourite actor as there fans of “Will Smith” and his previous filmography. Within this budget there will be adverts on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter as a massive amount of people use these sites everyday on a daily basis, just by having a small advert on the side of the websites could raise the popularity of the movie by 20%. This will also lead on to people being able to steam the trailer through Facebook which would lead to more interest in the movie. The trailer will also be featured on You Tube’s home page as over 280million people view the homepage each day, the film will also be put on adverts on TV as that is still by far one of the best ways to advertise as a wide variation of people watch TV everyday. The movie might have known sound tracks which can help advertise the artist and the film, which would gain more popularity, other than known sound tracks I will have up beat music will make the movies tension speed up (e.g. music which speeds up half way through). To end the advertising I will have adverts which will be on busses and bus stops which will grab people’s attention, buses are also used by a wide variation of people who are of different age. To give the movie that extra touch there will be a variation of new and old angels to give the movie that extra effect.
