1. Pitch
BY AYAN MAGUDIA

2. Plot
 Her day begins with a heated argument with her parents. She leaves
the house screaming "I HATE YOU" and realises she is late for
school. She heads towards the bus stop and just misses her bus. In
annoyance, she gets out a cigarette and smokes it. She later arrives
to school late and is lectured by her teacher for it, Natalie is in no
mood for a lecture so she walks away. But things take a turn for the
worst as some bad words are exchanged with a girl that pins her
against her a wall and punches her in her face. Now feeling
completely victimised by the world, she leaves school and finds an
alley to drink her vodka and drown her sorrows. She cries and cries
deep before we return to her in the shower with a blade by her wrist.

3. Genre Drama
 A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-
depth development of realistic characters dealing with
emotional themes. Dramatic themes such as
alcoholism, child abuse, drug addiction, infidelity, moral
dilemmas, racial prejudice, religious intolerance,
sexuality, poverty, class divisions, violence against
women and corruption put the characters in conflict
with themselves, others, society and even natural
phenomena. Drama is one of the broadest movie
genres and includes subgenres such as romantic
drama, sport films, period drama, courtroom drama
and crime.

4. Target Audience
 Our film is targeted at those aged 15-35 both male and
female though predominantly female.
 It’s mature content of mental illness and self harm is
not for the faint hearted but should be something a
vast majority of young adults could identify with.
 This type of drama explores the view point and
emotions of the character as the audience sees the
situation differently the protagonist the conflict between
the characters is often mental and emotional rather
than physical which would attract perhaps a female
audience slightly more than a male audience.

5.  Physiological aspect to our thriller features the conflict between
the characters that is often mental and emotional rather than
physical which would attract perhaps a female audience slightly
more than a male audience. Psychological thrillers also have
some kind of mystery to work out and there can also be an
element of horror in them as some can be very disturbing.
Therefore this would attract an older, more intellectual audience
because if the audience were not able to work it out, they might
find it boring.
 However our film is very physical and features intense scenes
torture. This would attract an audience interested in Horror
Thrillers. This audience tends to vary in age range as a horror
thriller can be certificated a 15 or an 18 depending on the
content.

6. USP
 The unique selling points of our film lies with the main character
and protagonist Natalie, she is a suffering depression, a mental
illness that many can identify with. She is also self harms,
something that may be relatable to a much smaller audience
but something that will no doubt trigger something to the vast
majority.
