three pitchs

Me, Becky and Andi and Stuart came up with a pitch idea each for our main bit of filming. An opening to a Thriller film.

NATHANS IDEA
I came up with the idea of a peaceful area and then cutting to a close up of a persons legs running. You then see a close up of his face and a POV shot of where he is looking behind him. You then see something jump out at him and he stumbles over. We dont see what it is that jumps at him but we see a glimpse of it. You then get anothere POV shot of him looking forward towards the woods as if to think of somewhere to hide. When he is in the woods we see him looking around and stumbling. We can also see shadows inbetween the trees. We would aslo get a POV shot of him looking around, again seeing shadows but this time there would be more. It would then cut to out side the woods and you hear him scream. It would then pan off like how it was when it started as if nothing happened.

BECKYS IDEA
Becky came up with the idea of a person sitting in a small dark oom with toys spread across. The perosn would be looking at a photo that he has in his hand. There would also be a music box playing in the background. You then hear the door opening slowly and the camera cuts to the door. You get a sense of relief when you find out that it was the dog that was coming in. It then cuts back to the person sitting on hte bed. The door then slowy closes and the dog goes to lie down. The door slowy opens back up and the Dog sarts to growl. The person sitting down asks whats up but does not turn around. The camersa does a close up of the door and sees someone comeing in. You then get a POV shot of the attacker going up to the person sitting down. You see their hand slowy move around and then speed up to cover the Victums mouth before they can scream. As this happens the music boxs suddenly stops.

ANDI AND STUARTS IDEA
I copied his off of Stuarts profile because it was so much easier than typing it out =]

My idea that I am going to pitch starts off with a man walking his dog down the edge of a field with long grass/corn. Then he lets it off its lean and it goes running in the grass. The cuts here are quite slow, with a few mid shots, close ups on the mans face and point of view shots from his looking at the top of the grass shake as the dog runs about in it. Not much sound can be heard just the rustling of the grass, this silence and the close ups of the mans face make him seem very alone and defenceless. Then suddenly the grass movements stop. He waits a moment staring at the grass and calls out a few times for his dog. Then a point of view shot from the grass could be used here to make it seem like there is something in the grass, adds to the tension. He waits a few more moments, you can see he is becoming worried and he starts to wade through the grass towards where his dog was. Lots of close ups would be used here to add to the claustrophobic feel of the grass all around him, gives impression hes walking into a trap. Then point of view shot as he parts the grass to the place his dog stopped, but you don't see anything, then it cuts to a close up on the mans face to show his reaction.
