Film pitch.

This week in our media lessons we were put into groups, in our groups we had to think of a film idea.
 Firstly in my group we discussed an idea for a horror film, the film would be set in a house where a man gets possessed by an evil spirit. We all agreed this could be quite hard to do and had already been done, but with females getting possessed, showing them as weak and vulnerable. We thought a male getting possessed wouldn't be as typical and could instead switch the roles with the male being shown as weak and vulnerable.
 Our second idea was a zombie film, it would be set in a graveyard and in a town where a man is visiting the graveyard to put flowers at his friends grave, in a twist the mans friend comes back to life as a zombie and the chase begins. We also agreed that this would be fairly hard to film and sounded fairly like every other zombie film.
 Our last film idea and the one we decided was best was set in a park where a teenage girl was walking her dog, while she is walking her dog she begins to hear voices but soon notices there is nobody there. After a few minutes the girl is kidnapped and wakes up in a alternate universe. She soon realizes she has to get out of the world she is in and back to the real world, however to get back she has to complete several tasks in a given amount of time & pass the 'curse' onto someone else in the real world. Sadly the teenage girl doesn't complete the last task in time and is trapped in the alternate universe. We all agreed that this was the best idea and the one that was the most obscure.
 After we had discussed ideas and all agreed on a final idea, we had to create a pitch for our film. We used powerpoint to create multiple slides explaining our idea, who would star in our film, roughly how much we would spend creating the film, how much we would spend on advertisement etc, roughly how much it would make, when it would be released and who the target audience is.
The first slide included the name of the film, which we have changed to 'Alternate' since.
The second slide includes a few pictures of  films that are fairly similar to ours, for example, The Chronicles of Narnia, Pans Labyrinth & Heroes.
The third slide is some research we did into roughly how much the film would make and how much it would cost. We studied the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. We found it made $291, 709, 845 and they spent $180, 000, 000 on the film in total, from this we decided how much we would like to spend on the film, which is what is on slide five.
 On slide four, we looked at the film super 8 and how much that made and what it cost etc. The budget was $50,000,000 and in total made $126, 975, 169. This also helped us to decided how much we would spend on our film.
 Slide six is the plot of our film. During this we decided this we decided who we would choose to play each character, We decided that the main character(the teenage girl) would be called Lucy and would be played by Amanda Seyfried. The girls brother would be called Jack and would be played by Ryan Reynolds. The stranger that takes her to the alternate universe would remain nameless and would be played by Benedict Cumberbatch, and the leader/queen of the alternate universe would be played by Tilda Swinton.
 The next slide is what the classification would be. We decided then it would be a 15, however after getting some feedback from the class we have changed it to a rating 12.
