  1. New Pitch Idea

  2. Settings/Location • In a kitchen (muddy, mouldy and grubby). • Richard Chase was arrested in 1977, so the setting will be fitting for that era. • Signs of serious harm having a occurred. • Old styled retro fridge, cuboard with mould growing from them. • Jars filled with organs such as hearts, livers etc • In a boarding house kitchen • Colour palette fits in with the 70’s so burnt orange, cream, brown etc • Lighting is cold, desaturated • Light on his face makes him appear washed out • Police lights could reflect onto him • It’s all fairly practical.

  3. What will our setting look like?

  4. Characters Who are they? • There will be someone playing Richard Chase (serial killer) and two people will be playing police. How would they look on screen? • Richard Chase will appear unkept and dirty. He had longish, unbrushed hair and a moustache. He will wear a fairly basic outfit, fitting to the era. (see next slide). • Overall just appearing extremely an extremely neglected appearance wise. This will mean that the audience can understand, from the outset of the film, that • Richard Chase was a troubled man, with oriorities elsewhere than his appearance to others. Costumes and props for them? • Blood stained cutlery • Dirty Mugs • A fridge • A police car (undercover)

  5. What will our character look like?

  6. Narrative What happens in the opening sequence? • There will be no dialoque in the kitchen scenes with Chase, but just an old radio playing contrapuntal music. However, whenever the scene is cut to a shot of the police car, on their way to arrest him for the several murders he’s committed. • These two minutes will show the moments before his house is stormed by the police, showing him to be putting blood strained cutlery back, different jars of organs in cupboards, putting out the rubbish, taking sips of ‘blood. What would be appealing? • This opening sequence will be appealing to an audience as it will bring in audiences from the 70s who perhaps remember this exact case happening. It will also appeal to those who enjoy the horror genre/ are interested in serial killers. Why will the audience want to carry on watching the film? • The audience will want to carry on watching the film as they want to know how Richard Chase reached this point in his life. They will want to uncover his childhood and upbringing, as well as previous murders he'd committed.

  7. Also, we decided that he doesn’t get caught otherwise the story would be ruined. So there’ll be a knock on the door and crosscutting between the police car and Chase. When there’s a knock at the door, Chase runs away and the police just miss him.

  8. Easy to understand • Set in a kitchen (retro 70’s – grubby) • Organs in glass jars • Chopping board and sharp knife with a chopped organ • Frying pan on with hot oil on stove • Minimal dialogue when police enter – use hand signals etc • Police lights seen through window • Chase is calm, he slowly cleans his hands and wipes down knives. • He slowly begins to leave unaffected by the lights and sirens. • Perhaps one line of dialogue by police such as “we just missed him”.

  9. Theres a shot of police about to storm into a flat, the audience think that it’s Chase’s flat. Chase opens a door at the same time as the police but they’re in different locations so the police stormed the wrong flat. The rest of the film is about the police tracking down Chase to arrest him but Chase is sneaky and he’s very difficult to catch.

  10. Camera shots (specific shot types, movements, camera angles) • Handheld shot- authenticity, feeling of urgency, wanting to stay hidden. • High angle shots- seems as if someone is watching from the cupboards above (like CCTV) • Extreme close up shots of Chase's eyes/fingers

  11. Editing techniques (pace, visual effects, transitions) • Use of cross cutting between Chase and the police car creating a sense of urgency and hurry. • Long takes creating a slower pace in the scenes with Chase, but shorter takes with the police car as they are hurrying

  12. Sound (music, foley) • Use of contrapuntal music on an old radio.
