Rogue Pictures As seen in the table to the left, Rogue Pictures has

produced many successful horror movies such as

„The Strangers‟ which made $82.3 million at the

box office worldwide.

Rogue Pictures has been one of the most

successful subsidiaries in the Universal

Conglomerate in producing Horror Films.

We believe that you at Rogue would be able to

produce a high quality, action, horror film with our

storyline „Snapped‟ which is exactly why we chose

you. We hope you will be able to help us produce

something which has never been seen at box

office before whilst „smashing‟ sales targets.

Our budget for the production of the film is

$5million dollars, as we plan to save money by

using volunteers as actors, and using props from

our own recourses. With your help we plan to

make $50 million at the box office world wide

within the first week. If you help us reach this

target the profits will be split 60/40 to you allowing

you to make profit.

Successful?

After planning and researching into the similar products that

Rogue Pictures produced, we believe that this horror film

follow‟s all the typical conventions used in previous films you

have produced. Some of these conventions are; fast paced

editing, screams, night footage, children and it is also based

around a protagonist and antagonist.

Will it relate to target

audience? Now the big question is, will it relate to the correct target audience? The answer to that question is Yes, and now we shall explain why. We have created our main protagonist as a young girl, aged 16, which relates to a large proportion to our target audience. Also, as the plot states she is left home as her parents are on holiday, this gives her a sense of independence, which most girls at this age want. This also appeals to our male audience as it gives the film the „sex appeal‟.

The use of an everyday location is a typical convention for the horror film genre. The beginning of the films welcomes the audience into the girls as having a normal average life style, which our target audience can relate to. The use of the Antagonists is an important aspect of the horror genre as after research it shows that our target audience likes scenes that have the mysterious factor and unknown answers.

Overall, our film trailer is very conventional to the target audience as it meets all the correct conventions of a film trailer.

Is it conventional?

Our film is conventional for the horror genre because it

relates to everyday life making it feel realistic for the

audience. For example, having a teenage girl who has been

left home alone for the weekend. The beginning of the

trailer shows a normal teenage girl hanging out with her

friends, meaning the audience will be able to relate to her.

‘Snapped’ is also conventional for a horror movie because

it uses fast paced editing

Analysis

From looking at the audience feedback results on the previous

slide, you can clearly see that our target audience are in favour of

our plot which we are pitching to you.

“I would go and see it because I would want to know what

happens” This quote from one of the respondents shows that our

trailer gives the audience enough to understand the storyline

however it leaves unanswered questions in their mind to allow them

to want to watch the full film on its release date.

“From reading the plot I can see that it is going to be a tense, action

filled film which is VERY conventional for a horror film.” This quote

shows that our plot appeals to the target audience by meeting the

conventions of a typical horror film.

Thank you for listening to our pitch. We really hope you

like our ideas and accept our offer.
