FILM: Developing a Pitch

A pitch is for filmmakers to give postive views of the upcoming films. Our orignals Ideas were as follows. Creating a bonfire, adding photo's to the flames and a teenage culture inspired short film. Focusing on the affects of and making the right decision when it comes to drugs. Originally we were going to go with the idea above but we realised the complexity of the idea would be hard to convey within 5 minutes due to it's narrative.

OUR PITCH
A mother and father are arguing and the father storms out (drives off.) A Young girl (daughter), grabs the box of family photo's and begins to tear and cut the pictures. Father comes home, parents walk into their room to see the young girl has made a heart using the pictures she has cut up. Parents look at one another to suggest a "what will happen" ending.Ending on a quite ambiguous note allows the audience to wonder and decide for themselves what they would like the ending to be and is open for interpretations. We hope, when creating this film the audience will enjoy the moral of the short film but the suspense will keep them interested and evoke emotive feelings and in someway relate to the film , whether from being in a similar situation and overcoming it, or are going through struggles like these at home. The realism is the uniqueness of our short film 'Torn' and our main priority is for the audience to relate and understand the feelings and actions of characters in our independent short film.
