A Level Media NEA – Brief 4: Film trailer and posters

Film Pitch

Our coursework brief requires us to create our own film trailer and posters for an original movie that

We have created in the horror or coming-of-age drama genres. Plan the following:

Title: From the Dirt

Tagline: Wait for it

Genre (and sub-genre/hybrid genre if applicable): Coming of age, drama, action.

Logline – one sentence that sums up the film and hooks people in (25 words or fewer): A street gang being targeted by a group of amateur hitmen working for a Polish mafia.

Other successful films that are similar to yours: The intent, Menace II Society.

Narrative structure – what happens in the film and in what order:  O13 a street gang is being targeted by amateur hitmen from a Polish mafia as they have gone against an old agreement with the mafia to stay off their turf. Both Igor and Wiktor from the mafia are given a set of jobs to fulfil with the end goal being either getting rid of O13 or making them too scared to come back.

Hero/heroine, their desires, the conflicts they encounter etc.: The film will focus on Igor and Wiktor and their attitude towards growing up in this environment and their commitments to school, and their plans for the future. It will show both sides of the story from two different points of view.

Other characters, their narrative role and their audience appeal: Other characters to play the villains and opposition to the young hitmen, but sympathy will be created for them too as they will be portrayed as bad up until the point they are about to be killed where it is revealed most of them aren’t really too involved, but are killed anyways.

Target audience for your film (age, gender, social class, interests etc.): Targeted at the C2DE demographic, mostly males between the ages of 14-26.
