The purpose of this report is to
get pitch ans sell
the idea to producers to get the film made, according to my reaserch more females are into thrillers than
horror but the general statiocstics state that horror has much more
viewers that thrillers. My short film idea was influneced by the movie deilver is from evil which was relsead in 2014 and has a rating of 6.2 which
is over the normal average of 5.0 and has quite a lot of viewes which is around 50,689 viewers on it.
The budget for my short film is £50 which covers my cost for both props and
transportation and for equipments
it will be covererd by my school because we are allowed to
borrow equipments
for my short film.
Film Synopsis
MY short film idea: A young
boy of 14 watches an horror movie as he puts off all the lights he sees someone
in the darkness he switches the light on one is there and he does the same and
gets the same result he leaves the light on but as he goes into his room the
light goes off and his door gradually opens and as he looks up he sees the
figure of a young boy in the darkness the boy walks close to his bed he gets up
to switch on the light and the boy is not there someone taps him he looks back
it’s the boy with blood in his hands and gets flash backs of himself killing
the boy.
Tagline: You haven't seen
true evil
HOOK: the twist is the strange
character seen by the man
TWIST: he sees the boy beside her
with blood on his hand.
My idea was influenced by deliver
us from evil the movie gets very intense as the charters think they are
actually been chased by a demon.
Film Rating
If the BBFC was to regulate my short film they
would give it a rating of 12 mainly because of the jump scares and that it is
horror.
What sort of violence can I expect
in a 12A or 12?
At 12A, moderate violence is
allowed but it should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on
injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if they can be
justified by their context (for example brief sight of bloody injury in a
medical drama).
Action sequences and weapons may be
present at 12A or 12, and there may be long fight scenes or similar. Weapons
which might be easily accessible to 12 year olds (such as knives) should not be
glamorised in 12A and 12 works.
Sexual violence, such as scenes of
rape or assault, may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated at 12A
and 12. Such scenes must also have a strong contextual justification.
Can horror films be passed 12 or
12A?
Yes, some horror films are passed
at this category. Moderate physical and psychological threat is permitted at 12
or 12A as long as horror sequences are not too frequent or sustained and the
overall tone is not disturbing.

Primary Research
I have looked at their profiles and
the videos they watch and noticed that they are more into thrillers than horror
and because of these I am planing on making a thriller instead of horror as it
also creates suspense and gives out a lot of jump scares as well.
Also throughout the videos and
horrors on youtube i found that thrillers have a lot more
views than horror showing that people are more interested in thrillers than
horrors so based on this findings I am going to be making my video a thriller
sequence.
Also due to my research i have also
found out details people will like to see in thrillers and intend to add them
as well in other to make my thriller sequence more interesting and intriguing
to viewers. Effects such as flashbacks and flash forwards will be used more
frequently and few of other alternative techniques such as montage especially intellective montage will be used in other to let
the viewers think and connect the dots to work out and find out what is
actually going on.
Secondary Research
With my secondary research i have
found out that the trend in horror short films is that there is always a
supernatural being been portrayed that attacks the human and due to this i have
picked it up and decided to include it in my idea. I have also picked my idea
from deliver us from evil which is a horror story that is very close to reality
as it shows people been possessed by demons and there are various events of
people been actually possessed by demons in real life.
Summary of all research (conclusions)
In summary of my research i have picked my
idea from deliver us from evil and i have also noticed that thrillers are more
made for females but as we know horror has a higher stats due to that i have
decided to make my short film a touch of thriller and a touch of horror there
will not be gore but there will be quite a few jump scares and all other
thriller techniques. I also found out that short films arent targeted
at the general public but at the distributors at short film festivals who
decide to promote what ever they like in their own area of distribution.
USP
Due to my research I have found a trend in
horror movies that they tend to have a supernatural being such as ghost
attacking human begins making them the weak and they always link the human and
the ghost in the end either the human killed the ghost or the ghost killed the
human and the human gets possessed. Deliver us from evil is a very good example
as most humans get possessed by demons. And based on the selling point of
Deliver us from evil I’m confident that my idea will sell.
. Budget
Due to my short film been based on deliver
us from evil i have seen the stats and the amount of views and the amount it
mad at the box office I am confidenct that its going to sell as its going to
attract viewers of those who are or were intrested in deliver us from evil and any other
sort of horror movie or thrillers similar to deliver us form evil at the box
office deliver us from evil made 87.9 million USD. (https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=cieYVvTmGOLH8gfs2r3oAg#q=deliver+us+from+evil+box+office)

Locations
LOCATIONS: the location for my short film
is just going to be a room.
Regulation & Certification
in the United Kingdom the film regulation
body is the BBFC and OFOCOM and they mainly regulate movies and
series which are going to shown cinematically and on DVD's due
to that the BBFC or OFCOM aren't going to regulate my short film becuse it
is not going to shown cinematically rather its going to be shown at film
festivals and BBFC do not regulate series. But if my
short film was going to be regulated by the BBFC there would probably give it a rating
of about PG12. My short film is also going to air on you tube.
Distribution
Now on distributing my short film, my
short film is going to be distributed or shown at short films festivals.
short film festivals are where
distributors go to look at short films and if they are impressed by any they
can pick it up and promote it in their specific world geological area. Also
gaining the maker some sort of reputation and Appleseed for their artistic
work. Also my short film also can be shown on Netflix.
