Final Film Pitch
This film will consist of three cinematically different stories that are all told out of order through chapters. Here is the Breakdown
Story 1-Narrative Comedy
This story is told in a very symmetrical film style with a large focus on color and static shots depicting a man running past a bunch of buildings and people. The audience does not know what they are running from or why they are running but the character keeps running into trouble…literally.
Story 2-Horror Drama
“The Top Hat Killer” it is told in noir style horror film with deep shadows and contrast accompanied with erie low angle shots, oblique angles and canted/dutch angled shots. This character is first seen covered in blood and looking like a wreck as he enters into his home where his wife greats him with 2 day old breakfast for dinner food and their dysfunctional relationship is portrayed through a disturbing waltz to loud radio frequencies. This character is as well seen on multiple killing montages as other characters are trying to put an end to the Top Hat Killer.
Story 3-Romantic Comedy
The third story which is told in a linear story having all chapters in order is a more realistically shot film that is reminiscent of films by directors such as Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan. This story tells of a normal day with a group of friends playing exaggerated versions of themselves like in This is The End. The main character of this story is looking for a date to a movie screening at the Gish and the story follows him and his many failures and reeling in a girl.
The End
At the end, all three stories come together and it is revealed how they relate to one another.
I will be working individually with the help of my very close friends Zach & Troy while using a Boom, tripod, car as a dolly pan, artificial lighting and cameras from Jake Extine & Kevin Canavan.
Estimated time of Film: 6-7 minutes
Estimated Director’s cut- 12 minutes
Primary challenges-getting it all filmed by May 8th and being able to have the cast I want for the film. Editing will most definitely be fun….
