Pitch

 My 4–5-minute mockumentary aims to entertain through comedy whilst also educating my audience the struggles of clashing ideas. The film is targeted towards teens as they are more likely to be engaged with the genre. The film will be uploaded onto the Jinjasnap Youtube channel as that is where they’re is most likely to view it. The themes used will be teamwork, and overconfidence.

3 young, aspiring workers attempt to create a film, but with clashing ideals and a director in over his own head, that may prove difficult. The characters include; an egotistical, director, an actor who is full of themselves. Finally, there is a grounded editor. None of them are given names to help the audience relate.

The film starts with an interview with the director, who believes that the documentary is being made as of rumours that the film is going to do incredible numbers. We find out however, that the editor called them in to expose the director. This is followed by footage that shows off their daily lives. Voice overs will be used to give context throughout the entire film.

Throughout the film there will be a use of lighting to represent the potential future of these characters, this will be done as a gag. We end the final film with them getting back from a meeting after being told to cancel the whole project.

The locations I plan to use are a computer room to represent the editing room. The ‘home’ of the ‘director,’ this will end up being either one of the cast members houses or a social space within school. The small forest behind the school to be a set the characters must film in that day. The final location will be either an available office or study room used for interview segments.

I believe that you should choose our company as the film being a mockumentary brings in benefits such as being interesting for a younger audience. It is becoming more common for the youth of today to strive towards jobs that are less traditional. This therefore gives my film a unique selling point. I have studied media for years so know how a finished film should feel. The key issues to tackle will be that of location but I alternatives. 

I have decided to complete a pitch to give a general idea on what the film is about. The process consisted of formulating wider concepts and ideas for my characters and the film as a whole to them write them down onto a document. This should concise the film down to a slightly smaller range of meanings imbedded within the film.
