I am pitching the idea of my film in the character of Craig's little sister, I intend to sell the overall idea of the film without going into too much detail; leaving the audience wanting to know what actually happened and why. By using Craig's little sister, I was able to pull on heart strings of the audience and introduce one of the characters to them directly. The audience still remain intrigued about the characters of 'Craig and 'Denzel' and it meant I could pitch it in a video-log sort of way, in the style of Craig's little sister herself. I chose the filter of black and white on the video as a way of showing the way Craig's family live - only being able to afford a black and white camera, it also keeps the mystery amongst the narrative and film idea as a whole.
Script:
Hello, nice to meet you. I am Craig's little sister, I was 11 when it happened. Craig was good, he got set up by Gaz. He just wanted a better life for me and wanted to help me get away from this place. He just needed the money so bad. Gaz is the real baddy, thats my step brother - who still lives at home. Denzel promised Craig money to kill someone that he said was bad, he said he'd killed 3 women in the area. I am not saying it's right but Craig was a nice boy, honest. Anyway, it turns out Denzel was one of Gaz' friends, and Gaz had set him up. Before I knew it, there was the sirens and my brother in the back of a police car.
Here is my pitch:
