Our Film Pitch
After conducting substantial individual and group research, we found a gap in the market for the thriller/mystery genre. The completion of our audience feedback in the form of a questionnaire, supported our original findings.
We worked as a group to come up with a plot for our teaser trailer.
The film takes place in a small county, where previous abductions have been reported and sadly none of the children have ever been found. This time, the determined parents of the latest missing child will stop at nothing to get their daughter back. The film sees the parents along their trail in the hope of finding her.
We believe that our plot will work as there has been recent interest in the newly released 'Angels & Demons'. We realised that a film of this genre has its strengths as the audience get a thrill from trying to solve the mystery before the final revelations. Also, there has been a lot of news coverage on these kind of cases over the past few years and our film would create an awareness of these circumstances and the emotions felt by involved parties. We realise that this theme may have ethical reprecussions, causing upset to victims of such events, however we aim to handle the theme sensitively, and believe that enough time has passed since such events for us to broach the subject; similarly to 'World Trade Centre', released in 2006, based on the events of 9/11.

An interesting pitch girls, with the reflection of the great interest in and sympathy for victims of this kind of crime recently. It may be interesting to consider the ethical repercussions of such a theme.
Target: conducting rather than 'taking out' research
