Planning : My 60 Second Pitch

Provide an explanation of what you had to do for the 60 second pitch.

You can see my 60 second pitch in the video found at THIS LINK. My pitch is from 00.00 to 00.00

The following picture is of myself planning the film....

The movie idea.

The film begins as 4 teenagers investigate a shack in the forest, this shack is very superstitious and has many rumors surrounding it, after his scared friends leave, the main character ventures in the unknown shack alone. 

After seeing nothing suspicious in the shack he returns home to his isolated village, little to his knowledge, a beast that has been watching him follows him back home.

Shortly after, people in the village start to disappear, the police are called but eventually don't believe the people.

Research dead mary, dead wood and wrong turn.

In out lesson, we watched the openings to these three films, we discussed the similarities of moments in Horror films. There were many re-occurrences between these films, for example all begin in a secluded location, miles from civilization.

The BBFC

The BBFC stands for the British Board of Film Classification. They offer independant, self financing media content regulating that is not for profit.Including, mainly, self regulatory classification and labelling for peices of media brought out in the UK, be it Films, Games or Adverts. Their primary objective is to 'prevent the public...from content which may raise harm'.

They base restictions on a number of thing which the content might include in it. These include violence, language, theme, sex, nudity, horror, drugs, disrimination and imitable behavoir. Based upon how many of these factors a peice of media includes will defy which restriction it is given from Universal, all the way to R18.
