Pitch

As a group, we had to do our pitch presentation in front of the class and our media teachers. This was done so that our teachers and classmates can give us feedback on our presentation and what we need to change and improve it in order to make it work.

We took a long time to decide what our film will be called so individually, we all came up with one title:

• Four Walls


• The Room


• Deranged


• Fragile

During our presentation we told everyone we can't decide which one we'd use so our teachers suggested everyone should vote. In the end, almost everyone liked 'Four Walls' so we chose this as our title for our film.

The story line of our title sequence is about a young woman whose trapped inside this room and it is believe that she suffer a psychology disorder. This continue by her self-harming herself and writing on the paper. She also has a comfort object which is a charm bracelet and it seem very important to her.

The sub-genres of our thriller title sequence is psychological, horror and crime. But because the main character has a psychological disorder, we wanted our main theme to be psychological along side the theme of thriller. Furthermore, it will draw in the audience's attention as it play with their minds.

After we've decided what kind of thriller our film was going to be, we thought of a perfect location which was one of the exhibition room at the Barbican centre but unluckily, we did not get a chance to book it. Our second option was to film it in one of our bedroom but our teachers suggested it wouldn't be a good idea as we'd have to clear out the room in order for the mise en scene to match. In the end, they said we should hire an empty room and added props for it to work well together.

This lead to the mise-en-scene as we wanted it to be dark and empty along with a small amount of lighting. For the sounds, we used Soundtrack Pro to create our own soundtrack. We decided that it should slow paced and squeaky as horror is one of our sub-genres. However, we didn't want the horror genre to overshadowed the main genre as thriller, therefore, we added drum beats and other instrumentals.

Our target for this movie is young adults aged 15-30 years old and targeted at both gender. Male because a lot of boys enjoys horror movies, on the other hand, female because our main character is a young woman therefore the female audience could relate to her easily.

We didn't think much about the institutional detail but we knew what company we did not want, for example, WT2. This is because WT2 is well known for romantic & comedy movies and it is too common for British film production, therefore, it would be very unusual to use it. Also, our film has a dark side to it and it looks very professional and has a high buddget so we chose New Line Cinema because it is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. which is well known for high budgeted and blockbuster movies.

The Production Schedule:

• Filming on the 10th March 2010
