With our cards we came up with ideas of what this movie could be about, as it was a horror we needed a killer and victims, so brainstormed loads of ideas, our initial idea was that the 2 main characters were Jack and Jane and with it typically being the male as a psychotic killer, but then we switched it round so the killer is completely unknown until the very end of the movie. We thought that there aren't very many horror movies set in a boring old office, in a call centre and we found their was a 'space in the market for one'. deciding on what would actually happen in our movie, there was some agreeing and disagreeing on some points, but we eventually came up with an idea we were all happy with, although it was a little complicated, buts its because there was a lot of detail.
Our final idea was....
Jack and Jane are the main characters, they are introduced at the start, by Jack who has been working at the office for about 4 years now, Jane a new intern at the office, he likes what he sees and tries to make conversation with her, Jane has a lot of male attention in the office. Then
28 workers in the call centre (very similar to the one above) are just doing their everyday things, on the phone, a boring low paid tedious job. the killer hangs one of the workers the body is hung in a cupboard, but now one knows, the murderer suddenly cuts off all communication eg phones, computers then takes over the tanoy saying he only wants 9 victims so they remaining 18 have to be killed, not by him, by their fellow workers, no one believes him, so he tells them to check the store cupboard to see the blood ridden body, the lights are turned off, its pitched black and there is panic surrounding the room, sudden screams and thumping to the ground, the odd gunshot too.
The lights turn back on bodies are lying on the ground, only a few not enough, some people jump out of the window, as they cant face reality hoping for survival. 9 are left. The cocky jock, with his 2 side kicks, who are pretty stupid and dumb, they don't really have a voice just follow the leader, there are 2 slutty easy girls, who are underestimated in the workplace, Jack and Jane, the quiet guy in his mid 40's who gets picked on quite abit, the jock treats him sort of as his slave, then the killer. 6 slowly die in unorthodox, strange ways, the so called hard guy is crying his eyes out, snot coming out of his nose, the quiet man is very brave and risks his life, shouting to the man " take me, leave the others and let them live, if you want someone then take me!" we still don't see the killers face.
3 are finally left, Jack, Jane and the unknown person controlling this whole thing, they walk in to a small room, the bosses room, where Jack is handed a knife, his already blood splashes over his face from the others, Jane is crying with cuts over her face from fighting people off so she survives, but not for long. Jack is told to slit his own throat and die while Jane watches, he is hysterically crying taking a little while to end his life. The killer walks past his heading to the door, tuts, while shaking his head and says' to long, to long' pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head, then waits 5 seconds to then kills Jane, he walks out of the room which you then see from an angle never seen before of the back of the office, where multiple screens are on the wall CCTV, and the faces of each victim with a big red cross through it. the picks up his jacket and walks out, you only get a quick glimpse of his face, its the cleaner, the innocent cleaner left in the background of every conversation, meal and joke.
Our film would be called '÷ 3, because each time a group of people die it divides by 3.
28 to start with, one dies(hung in cupboard- which is when the proper story sets in)
27 are left: 27÷ 3= 9 (which is how many the killer wants left) 9÷3=3(Jack, Jane and the killer) 3÷ 3=1 (killer).
How we will pitch it...
we will create a Powerpoint with cue cards on our idea of the movie, we will explain why we set it in a office- its a good opportunity because there's a gap in the market for an office based horror, its also a sign of being trapped, surrounded in a tall busy building. With each of the group contributing regularly, showing confidence, our point of a new popular movie will hopefully please everyone.
We will have designated speeches, and a storyboard to explain the main points of what will happen throughout, we will explain everything as much as possible so there are limited questions to answer so everyone who we are pitching it to understands fully.
Then from the feedback of the audience we will make any changes needed, to make the movie best as it can be, we need to work as a successful team for it to be a successful film.
