Assignment 2: Film Pitch

Our production task for Assignment 2 involves coming up with our own film promotion for an original movie that we have created.

*Note: this CANNOT be a Science Fiction film due to clashes with the exam topic

Title and tagline: Vengeance: “He’s never gonna stop” 

Genre (and sub-genre if applicable): Action, Thriller

Logline – one sentence that sums up the film and hooks people in (25 words or fewer): A man sets out to kill an entire gang because they killed his family and all he wants is Vengeance

Other successful films that is similar to yours: Taken, The Crow, Taken 2

Narrative structure – what happens in the film and in what order (max 100 words)? The film takes place in current in current Miami, Florida where an ex-marine soldier man comes home from work to find his family killed in cold blood. As left behind evidence prove to be the most ruthless gang in all of Miami known as the Poison Ivies. As his mind fills with anger and Vengeance he sets out to destroy the gang. This means that he must remember all of his military training in order to track down the gang using a set of deadly skills which the gang will not expect. He will stop at nothing.

Hero/heroine, their desires, and the conflicts they encounter etc.: Alex Ryder – An ex-marine who has the record for the most kills in one tour is Afghanistan, sets out to find the gang Poison Ivies who killed his family in cold blood as he will stop at nothing until he sees them all dead and he fulfils his Vengeance.

Costume/props that the hero requires (for film poster photo-shoot): A 16 year old boy dressed up in all black with a dark lighting with a ruthless facial expression looking away from the camera. And also will have a dark background to settle the mood.

Other characters and their audience appeal: Stretch – The leader of the Poison Ivies. Black belt in Martial Arts and spend 5 years in Apalachee Correctional Institution Prison for apparent manslaughter on his own father.

Target audience for your film (age, gender, social class, interests etc.):

My target audience is aimed at teenagers aged 16-55 and over because the movie can contain violent gory scenes and a lot of explicit language. Also more aimed at the male and largely the middle class with parents in ABC1 Social class classification. Audience likely to be in education, thinking about going to university and interested in hard-core ruthless films.
