Pitch and Initial Ideas

Name: Payne

What is it about: Based on a teenage vigilante solving crimes around the school. Sub-plots will help to develop the story as well as the main character.

Possible characters:
  • Payne: The main character who is the detective solving crimes around the school. He is cunning, stealthy and smart.
  • Criminal: There needs to be a criminal for the detective to catch and is essential with the crime genre. Criminals are usually street-smart, ruthless and immoral. They often focus on causing misery towards their victims.
  • Victim: The main character would usually have some sort of emotional link with the main character. It is stereotypically a vulnerable female.
Target Audience:16-24 years old. A 15 certificate so that younger audiences can watch it.

Settings: In the school - Classroom, office, corridors. In St Neots town centre, because we don't have access to big urban environments as it's usually done in crime films.

Production company logo: We decided to use the same one as last year 'Glassbox Productions' because it seemed to fit in well with the crime genre.

USP: It is based on a younger target audience than most crime films and will featured people aged around 18.

Generic conventions: Vigilante/anti-hero, blood, low-key lighting, fast paced, upbeat music and supporting characters helping the vigilante.

Trailer conventions: Release date,upbeat and fast paced music, voiceover, age certificate, title of the film and social media.

Music: Fast paced and upbeat because most modern crime films and TV shows and is often used ironically because it completely contrasts what is happening in the film.

Editing: Quite fast paced, again because it is common in crime film trailers. Mostly cut and fade to black transitions.
