Film Pitch:

Idea: We start the film seeing a person going about their ordinary life day after day, and during the film we see them transform from this ordinary, average person to someone more extraordinary. The reason for the change is something I have not decided yet.

Locations: The opening would be filmed mostly on a train, but with some shots of their own house and possible some other key places in their day to day life. Other places where the rest of the film will be shot is at the beach, where possibly the "experience" happens.

Actors: The main character will be a woman, fairly young, and she will have supporting characters around her, such as a kind boss, and an older woman, who she may see as a reflection of herself in the future; this woman could possibly be the trigger for her change.

What makes your film so special and why would people choose to go and see it over everything else available? My film is different to other films, as it focuses on a younger person going on a journey to find happiness and freedom, but instead of the usual teenage audience you may normally get going to see this, I would expect to appeal to an older audience as well, probably in the 24 to 35 age range. This might be because I wouldn't intend the film to be purely silly and happy-go-lucky, but more melancholy with a question of what in life makes us truly happy.

How does it express your creativity? This film would be slightly more arty than other films of the genre, which would be able to capture the tone of the film. For example, the camerawork would not be simply filming the actors, but would almost be a feature of the film, making it much more visually interesting than other films. There would also be more interesting locations than just an office block, which would go towards the whole film looking more interesting and creative than others of this genre

Why should you back it, attach your name to it and fund it? Well, this film would be a new type of film, the first of a kind, and this new style would attract new audiences and stereotypes, both bringing in higher revenue, and setting a new standard of film for other companies to follow; a style that you would have started.

How can you guarantee success? I have spoken to a wide range of people who I would expect to be my target audience, and they all seem interested and keen on the style and idea of the film. The film will also be a different style to previous films, and when you create the first of something, or something different, people are likely to go an see the film even if just to see if they like the new style. When watching, they will get drawn into the plot, and hopefully, this will ensure the success of the film.
