We have shown our film pitch to the class in order for them to get an understanding of what our film is about and what will be the main plot. Whilst presenting we explained how we'll have a protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist, Imogen, will be played by Ellie-Spencer Webb and the antagonist, Josh, will be played by Lucas Bowles. We aim to film a psychological thriller opening following the progression of the Joshs' schizophrenia and his relationship with Imogen. We chose this plot line as within psychological thrillers it plays on the mind and is usually links to how sadistic the antagonist is, in addition by bringing awareness to mental illness we plan on showing people the traits shown in people who suffer with schizophrenia mixed with a toxic relationship and how it affects not only Josh but also Imogen.
Additionally whilst presenting our pitch we changed our name to 'side effect' as we all felt it fit the film better for what the thriller was going to in tail. The name of the film also leads to suspicion and apprehension as our target audience may be able to piece together that the title may relate to the mental illness. When choosing a type of mental illness to depict in our opening, we all came together and chose schizophrenia as the traits such as emotional flatness and catatonic behaviour would link to their already broken relationship. Films such as Black Swan, The Shining and Girl, Interrupted shows the majority of traits that we would like to execute.
During our film pitch,we also changed things whilst presenting such as the name of our film. This was changed as peoples feedback claimed they were unsure of what the film was about and why the main male character may be acting the way he is.
