Create a pitch to communicate an idea to the client (P3)
Deliver a clear summary of your horror based on your planning.
The scene of an abandoned house or a spooky forest in the country, where the theme of spooky kidnappings unfolds, is appropriate for the age rating of 15. People are going missing and turning up in unusual places because the mansion is haunted by several killings. The antagonist of the story is a psychopath who has irrational beliefs and is hyperactive, which makes the scenario even more perilous. The protagonist of the story is a person or group of individuals who manage to flee the antagonist and find him to put an end to his harmful activities. The story's dramatic and frightening nature is appropriate for viewers who can handle the tension and horror aspects and are at least 15 years old.
Walk through a sample storyboard.
1) A Cinematic of the outside of the abandoned house where the killer is.
2) A Cinematic of the inside of the building where the evil deeds are done.
3) Pans to the right showing a recently dead/murdered body by the villain.
4) Pans outside the house to the villain looking for more villains.
5) The villain finds a victim.
6) The victim escapes and runs to the friends, and they fight against the victim.
Explain your audience research and how it backs up your ideas.
The typical target demographic for a horror movie is between the ages of 15 and 25. Young adults and teenagers appreciate thrills, which is the most frequent explanation. Younger audiences are more likely to be excited by these thrills than older ones.
Three primary elements are responsible for horror's appeal as a genre: Tension: creating a feeling of mystery, dread, shock, or fear. Relevance: forging a cultural or personal bond, triggering an innate anxiety, such as a fear of dying.
Explain how you feel the product meets the brief and the BFI's cultural criteria.
According to BFI's cultural standards, the horror genre is frequently considered a mirror of societal fears
and concerns. The villain looking for additional victims and the empty, abandoned house in the storyboard
can be interpreted as a statement on problems like urban deterioration and crime. This storyboard captures
some of those qualities as well. Horror films also have cultural value in cinema history, with several
classics that have inspired the genre.
Overall, the provided storyboard fits the bill for a horror film and complies with the BFI's cultural
standards by telling gripping and scary tales and making meaningful social commentary.
