Movie Pitch

We made a pitch regarding the intro to our Thriller movie, which was the project we were to be working on not long after. In an X-Factor/Dragon's Den style, Micky (a media technician for our college) & Annabel (our media tutor) watched and made notes as we progressed through our pitch. We did record the pitch whilst it was going on with the intention of putting up on here for your viewing pleasure, however due to technical difficulties that idea did not come to light.

We all decided that the name for our project was to be 'Inbetween'. The concept coming from the creation of ghosts, who seem to spend most of their time INBETWEEN life & death. The subgenre for our thriller was that of a psychological & supernatural type, as we all had a small bias towards this type of thriller, in comparison to all the other types.

Originally we had intended for our filming to take place at Totteridge & Whetstone station, however after TFL ignored our application for a filming grant it didn't happen. However the original concept of the film was that there was a couple who appeared to parting ways as we see them saying goodbyes & leaving each others company, where we then follow the female onto her platform. After a while she receives a phonecall from her husband, however they do not exchange words, as she hears weird & unusual sounds coming from the other side.
Feeling uneasy & shaken, we see her running from the scene to the point where she can no longer be seen.

In terms of props, we only had two, a mobile phone & a suitcase. As the actors in the film would be portaying peoples of an older age, it was important that we had 'mature' props, in order to give the impression that they really were older (not that you'd know anyway.)
The M-E-S of the film was also taken into consideration, as Totteridge & Whetstone station was a pretty deserted place, even at rush hours, we thought it would be a good idea to use there to add to our eerie atmosphere.

The production schedule is as follows :

Saturday 6th of March - First part of filming

Wednesday 10th March - Short filming session

Friday 12th March - Final parts of filming

Wed 17th March - Start work on soundtrack & editing

Friday 19th March - Finishing touches & editing

Now for the Risk Assessment! Well considering we intended to film on a train platform, an obvious risk would be to avoid falling onto the platform & dying. We were told that if OCR see anything in our film that was deemed as dangerous it could result in us not getting a mark. Therefore we made sure that there was nothing in our film that could result in this happening to us.
