Directors Pitch

Film Media – Directors Pitch

 

·         Our first opening shot is of the sky, a few of our films credits are shown over this. The camera then pans down to a house (evening time).

·         We see our main character arriving home from work (dressed in work clothes). We have a long shot of the house and the car and this then changes to a shot from the back of the car to see the character getting out.

·         We see our character going into the house, the camera follows our character into the kitchen where she makes a cup of tea and sits down with a magazine.

·         The camera zooms into the magazine, and then zooms out showing her work colleague reading that magazine, the camera then pans across to show our main character at work sending an email to her date; this is a past shot of her looking forward to her date later.
We have chosen to do a past shot because we feel it will tell you more about where she is going later on and who she will be meeting. This tells the audience that this film is going to be about love.

·         We see her emailing her date at work, the camera zooms into the email and then out back to her at home getting ready for the date, cut scenes of doing make-up and choosing an outfit.
We have chosen to do these cut scenes of the past and the future to create a sense of excitement for our main character.

·         We then have a long shot of her leaving the house all dressed up for her date, as she walks to the left the camera stays still as she walks off the left side of the screen.

·         The camera then shows her walking from the back and then from the front, this would be a match on action shot.

·         We then see our main character arriving at the meeting place of her date which happens to be a pub/bar; the atmosphere of the film at this point will be excitement yet also tense as we want to see her date.

·         We have a long clip of the clock in the pub/bar which we could then speed up to show that she has been waiting there for a long time.

·         She goes to leave and the pub/bar giving up on her date, this sets a mood of disappointment for the audience. But as she goes to walk out she walks straight into someone else. The camera shows the back of his head as our main character shares a smile with this stranger, this then turns into shot reverse shot as they share a few lines of dialogue.

·         The first 2 minutes of our film ends here.
