Pitches

To help us think about film opening ideas we were given examples of 25 word pitches so we can then come up with our own 25 pitches.

The examples I found on bbc news and liked were:

Egomania by Paul Alexander and Simon Braithwaite - Hotshot young lawyer Michael Stark becomes so successful, so arrogant and so full of himself that his ego decided to go solo - with disastrous consequences.

The Cleaner by Peter Michael Rosenberg - When a crime scene cleaner haunted by his past uncovers evidence that suggets LAPD cops are working as assassins, he becomes their next target.

Shoeless Joe by Andrew Clyde - A holiday of a lifetime across desolate heart of Australian outback turns into a living nightmare for five friends.

Storage by Chris Denne and Mat Winn - Terror stalks a storage facility. Survival for those trapped inside depends on the secrets in those endless units. But some doors are better left locked.

Here are my own 25 word pithes based on my two film opening ideas.

My first pitch is based around brief one (A mainstream action film that will appeal to 15-25yr old males)
Man wakes up not remembering anything, beautiful woman finds and looks after him. Both soon find out man has powers. Villians out to destroy him.

My second pitch is based around brief two (A supernatural thriller that will appeal to female audiences)
After death of a close family member, female character begins to have dreams/visions about supernatural disasters, that begin to come true.
