Pre-Production Proposal

Pitch
  • Night/Dark, large building, urban
  •  Women leaves with a friend, talking about work
  • See a man watching them from across the street
  • At a crossroad, and they go opposite ways
  • Over the shoulder shot of him watching her as she walks away
  • Walks down alleyway
  • Turns round a corner, shadow appears from where she just came from
  • Goes to house, opens the door but hears a sound
  •  Goes to check, nothing there, leaves door open
  • Someone goes in while she’s checking
  • All relaxed, normal, call her friend
  •  Man standing behind her and steps towards her
  • Suddenly it cuts to black and the title comes up, hear a scream
  •  See someone leave the house and walk away
  •  We hear the friend calling out her name over the phone while we see him walking away

Overall Narrative
  • Several killings follow no noticeable motive. Police franticly trying to find him before he kills more people.


Style – Tone
  • Urban London
  •  Lighting is low key with a lot of backlighting to create a lot of shadows, meaning you never see what he looks like
  • This builds suspense and adds tension as it makes the antagonist more mysterious

Characters/ Costume
  • Main Girl
  •  Smart clothing, just left work
  • Aged 19-21, young
  •  Looks very normal, nothing seemingly extraordinary about her
  •  Example perhaps Drew Barrymore at the start of Scream
  • Other Girl
  • The same
  • Man
  • Dark, hoodie, all black, hood up
  • No age, can’t see him
  • Could be anyone


Graphics
  •  Cut to black screen
  •  Titles fade in
  • Simple white text
  • Blocky text






Sound
  •  Dialogue
  •  Her talking to her friend when leaving
  • Voice over of friend phone call after shes dead
  • VO of the scream
  • Soundtrack
  • Ominous
  •  Sound cuts out when titles come up
  •  Foley Sound of footsteps
  • Sound effect as he runs in the house
