Dan's Pitch

GHOSTS OF WAR
 So for my FMP I really wanted to go back to the start of the
year and do another Horror film
 This would show how much I have improved over the year
 I did not want to just write a scary story because it was a horror, I
wanted to create a story with a lot of character in, so I sat down
with my dad and looked through a script he wrote about 10
years ago, I took this script and adapted it into a 10,15 min short
film using the similar story line.
 This film is about a family who are being haunted by a ghost from
WW2 as one of the family members stole a ring from a battlefield
and ended up in hospital.

GHOSTS OF WAR
 As I personally believe the most important thing about a story is
the characters. I really wanted to hire actors to do these
characters justice. I looked on Star Now and created a list of
possible actors who fit the role
 These actors will hopefully be interested in helping out, as most
have only done extra work and they're all looking for a bit of
experience.
 Most of the costumes I will need will be very easy to get a hold of
as they are just casual wear for most characters. I need a
German uniform, which I have permission to use already from
Ronnie.

HOW DO I ACHIEVE THIS

 My target audience is anyone who likes horror films or is
interested in the legacy of war, this film will have some scenes in
which may be too scary for younger viewers so I would rate this
film 12+

TARGET AUDIENCE
 Cast

Liz Jenkins Charles Jenkins Margarat Evans

Charles Grandfather Mark Jenkins Klaus(German Ghost)

 Getting the costumes right is very important as it gives you an immediate
assumption of what a character is like, so from these 4 photos you can
already assume that Mark is a business man, with a very casual dress
sense, and had a bit of a dad coat

 LOCATIONS
So for my film I need to record in 3
different locations. The main location
is in my grandparent's house, they
have a spare room that I am
planning on creating a living room
setup for our characters. I will be
taking family photos from the cast
and placing them around the room
to add more detail.

Another location is Rickerby park for

a couple of scenes .

I also need access to the hospital

ward in the university, which I have
sent a couple of emails to find out if
this is possible. If it is not there are
certain parts of my script that need
changed but I have already
planned for this
