Pitch 1

Genre: thriller / drama / social realism

+ Key conventions

- Vulgar language- Violence and gore- Hero / villain- Not always return to equilibrium but

do in a lot of cases.- Camera work sometimes unorthodox

to create an atmosphere.

Narrative:

- Hero / villain established throughout film opening.

- Voice over- Use of props and mise en scene to

create a character.

+ Ideology

- Challenging and conforming to stereotypes of youth culture.

“Youth culture”

+ Stereotypes

- "Violent! Asbos! Hoodies!"- “They are all thieving, knife-carrying, troublemakers who

waste most of their time dossing about”- Held responsible for a lot of crime- Not productive

Aim of short film is to challenge but also conform to these stereotypes.

Inspiration:

+ Shorts such as “1150” for use of camera, with its continuous movement.

- Unveiling new parts of the scene.- New styles and techniques.- Instead of cartoon it will be live action

Audience profile: niche audience

A typical viewer of this sort of short film production would be in the age bracket of 15-25 year old as it’s not suitable for younger ages and too vulgar for orders, although some anomalies will occur. They will be in a range from E-C1 social class bracket as its very raw and relatable content in certain ways, parallel with the age. This will also link with their economic status of middle class and will certainly be a mix of rebels and succeeders. Based on the content it will be a niche audience this is because it’s more of an art film instead of a mainstream production.
