PITCH – Marianna Gould

What genres of film do you enjoy watching and why?• Action – I enjoy action films mainly because of

the thrill and excitement you get from them. There is a rush of adrenalin that pumps through you due to the sheer action taking place. Most action movies are unique to the idea that they're not your everyday, ordinary circumstances, and it is that which makes them all the more intriguing to watch and follow.

• Drama – I enjoy drama films because of the mystery behind them. I like the way that a lot of drama films use the unknown as a feature to attract their audiences, getting them to solve and understand what is going on.

• Comedy – I enjoy comedies solely because they can make everyday situations as funny as they like, making the films relatable.

GENRE

Sub genres of Drama • Crime-drama • Historical-drama• Horror-drama• Romantic-drama• Melodrama • Comedy-drama• Psychodrama • Docudrama

DRAMA Why people like dramas? Because we are

emotional beings, and everything we do is backed up by some kind of feeling. Emotion is the fuel to our engines. And drama completes the yearn for emotions.

People like dramas because they are relatable and compatible with peoples everyday lives which makes them more understandable and thus having bigger affects on their audiences.

Source of Inspiration:• Momentos (short film) – Within

this short film, a series of pasts videos of memories are presented, this gave me the idea of merely having my entire film a sequence of moving images that will pose as the memories that a young girl has of her brother who has passed.

INSPIRATION/ INFLUENCES

• ‘Tommy’ is the lead protagonist who is in every shot within the short film, he has two sisters, one of which is the deuteragonist of the film who is writing letters to her brother (Tommy) who has passed.

• Tommy passed away at the age of 18 in a car accident.

• The purpose of this film is to show his younger sister reminiscing in the memories she has of her brother.

• In my short film being a Drama, I am wanting for the audience to develop this emotional attachment to the characters and thus connect with the loss of our protagonist.

PLOT OUTLINE

CHARACTERS

Primary Target Audience:• Young adults/teenagers, 15+• Predominantly females• Students/ Aspirers -People who strive for a

bigger and better lifestyle. These could be the young people who may have just finished a degree at university and are in search for a job wanting to break it into the film industry. With the drive from their motivation of a better life they would do a lot of research into the industry themselves, in turn viewing the short films to get a better understanding. This could possibly be to get inspiration for their own amateur film making and get recognised.

• Possibly people who can relate to the situations – having a loved one pass away.

• Avid watchers of short films.• People who like to explore others stories and

situations.• Those who understand the circumstances and

aren't too saddened/threatened by it.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Secondary Target Audience:• Middle aged/older• Parents possibly • Families• Mixture of both male and female. • Individualists- People who are loners,

individualists, independent thinkers who want to be separate from the crowd. This sector of the audience could include the people who like to express their opinions and views through film. They are the opposite of the mainstreamers who may be the audience for big budget full length blockbuster films.

• Succeeders- People, who like to think they are in control, are powerful, successful and ambitious. This group of people is mainly driven by their income wanting to get high up in the industry. If they have already made it successfully into a powerful position then they would be the audience that could decide to invest in a new director etc. from viewing a short film and bring more money into their company.
