Todays lesson (film pitch)

In today's lesson were put into groups to propose a pitch. This is done in proffesional film making when coming up with new ideas. They are done to persuade or convince the company/people investing money that your idea will work and is the best.( eg. Dragons Den)
Miss gave us 4 cards in our group.

Henry 72
Sally
a Gun (prop)
Rom/com

from this we had to pitch our film on the basis of the cards.

Our pitch of the film
From the cards provided we came up with the plot for the film and what process to pitch it in. We decided to call it Faded. This is because  Henry's memories of his life are coming back as he is suffering from dementia.
It starts off with Henry (72 years old) has dementia. He is retelling stories from the past. There is a female voice asking him questions, we assume its his wife. The comedy side comes in as he is with his fiancé Sally who is his partner in crime as they threaten people with guns as they run away from a bank. The funny thing is they always mess up. Henry see's an old man in the care home with the same gun.

The plot twist comes in as he is actually telling the story to his wife ( henry has forgotten her due to the dementia) Ultimately the romantic part is that he has forgotten everything else apart from his experiences with his wife. This is the most significant part.

This helps us for the future as when we pitch are individual film opening ideas it needs to be concise and express the plot.
