One Page Pitch

Working Title -   Raven Calls

Film Genre -    Psychological/horror/thriller

Length -   120 minutes

Tag line -  

‘It’s more than just a game’

‘No one is afraid of the dark, they’re afraid of what’s inside it…'

What if premise – what if you’d heard a story, a stupid little ghost story that was made to scare children into behaving. What if you thought there was some kind of truth to this story and being the curious investigative journalist you are you decided to check it out. As the cliché goes there was a child, a lost young girl who died in the woods, and if you go to the woods and call out her name she wants to play a game.

Story Synopsis – A young investigative journalist hears the story of Raven Black, a young girl who died in the woods many years before. Wanting a decent story the journalist, along with two friends decide to go and see if there is any kind of truth behind the story. Taking their camera to record any evidence of Raven they begin to call her name only the journalist’s friends forget one very important detail – you must finish the game.

Visual realisation – The two locations for our film is in a therapist office and in the woods. Whilst in a therapist office the lighting is dark creating an atmosphere of mystery. When the characters in the woods the footage is filmed by the characters in a paranormal activity/Blair witch style.

Audience Appeal – Our film would be appealing to our target audience because the film is entertaining for a generation that enjoy the horror genre and it can link to horror games such as Slender and Outlast.
