Our Film Pitches

Esther's Film Pitch

The film is a mystery / thriller about the investigation of four linked deaths. The opening scene is a montage of four bodies being found; the scene isn't drawn out, it's literally the close up shots of four faces or bodies in the crime scene photos, played to eerie music. We have a couple of shots of the police themselves. Main suspect: School teacher.

During the film, all victims are Linked by being taught by the same teacher over the years, which is a red herring. we Instantly assume it's the teacher. we don't think about the other people it could be. Throughout the film we see the police investigating to find the link between the victims and the murderer. Several times it is hinted that the supernatural is deeply involved. there is a gruesome ending, after the police go to the school to arrest the teacher.

Some audience feedback was that it was too early for some one to die, but it was suggested to me that i could change the plot slightly, using flash backs. Therefore i have decided i will allow the Opening to be exactly the same, but in flash-back form. My idea now is that perhaps the film could be about the killer's life in prison. The story plan i originally thought of could be shown through flashbacks - The murders, (still not showing the killer), The police investigations, moments of suspence before the man was arrested. There could be a climax at the end, when we discover that actually the imprisoned man is not guilty.

Idowu's Pitch


The film I created is a romantic movie. This movie is about a woman who bestfriends the opposite sex, however, their friendship is not enough for her. Despite this, the woman's friend finds it hard to show the same love and result in a deteriorating friendship.

Audience Feedback:
Story line is a bit complicated questioned if it could be a good opening.
More of a variety of shots.
Improve story board (SJC MEDIA CLASS)

Haddi's Pitch

The genre I decided that I wanted for my film is urban drama. In the first two minutes of the film, we would find a woman being involved in a hit and run and ending up in hospital. But, what we don't find out is whether she lives or dies, who ran her over, and is justice served?
Audience Feedback
-Not well story boarded
-Vary camera shots
-Include more scenes
