Writing a film pitch

The anon

1) The ‘log line’ (a one sentence summary of the film's narrative or appeal) - in task 3 above: A girl who risks her own life while trying to save others from a mystery assailant even though she risks from getting in danger herself. 2) Brief reference to your film's genre ("this film is an urban thriller..."): Horror 3) Brief reference to at least one similar film ("this film is a cross between The Italian Job and Spy Kids..."): The film is a cross between Scream and Taken 4) Brief reference to the target audience for your film ("this film will appeal to the core cinema-going age group of 12-25..."): The age group is 15-25 5) Indication of main characters ("The story is based around Jack - an honest guy who gets caught up in a major robbery - and Reuben, the villain who is after the money..."): Katherine is a ordinary girl who often gets left home alone from her parents who go to work. Her notable traits are being caring and giving. Her boyfriend however seems supportive but ends up to take a dark turn later on in the movie; something that Katherine isn't familiar with. 6) Brief summary of narrative (what happens in the story): There is an anonymous caller who threatens Katherine. She has to complete some questions because he's got her friend hostage and if she gets a question wrong, he cuts her best friend, Tia's body. Soon Katherine can't bear the pressure so she gives up and her friend is soon dead. Once she get's to grips with reality, the killer starts asking Katherine questions so she can save her own life and then after she gets a question wrong, the killer soon sneaks in her house and chases her so Katherine runs outside. She meets her boyfriend, Adam but it turns out that he's part of the plan to kill the girl too so Katherine has to try to escape the both of them in order to survive.
