EDITED: THRILLER PLANNING: PITCH AND TREATMENT

PITCH AND TREATMENT


P1- The film starts with a black screen with the name of the film company being the focal point. We then see a shot of a man walking down a corridor to a place where we see all of his possessions line out. He collects these and we then see him walk out of the door after picking up a ring. He is then kidnapped with a bag placed over his head. He is sat down and comes back into consciousness and has a confrontation with another man, his kidnapper. This results in a physical confrontation in which Harley attacks his kidnapper, he then gets up abruptly, grabbing the bag and consequently he is then chased. There is then a dip to black and there is static shown.

P2- Taking influences from films like Essex boys, Layer Cake and Legend, this thriller seeks to establish the character of Harley, an over-confident, rags to riches young man who has become far too involved in the British criminal underworld. This is done by using strong elements of British Gangster like costumes, gritty locations and character types. The film opening only uses some dialogue with the main idea being using visuals to establish the story.
