The Pitch


The production is based around a school, it suggests that the school is very similar to a prison through its systems and practices.


The actual film will be about 3 new school children and will follow how gangs within the school try to recruit them and introduce these young venerable students, to how cash flow is distributed throughout the school. The three young characters are forced to end their friendship due to peer pressure and gang differences.


Comparisons will be made between the systems being run in prisons to those in the school, but not as extreme. E.g. Teachers will be security guards and the drugs will be sweets dinner tickets etc.


The type of goods each gang will sell will differ from one another , however the demand within the school will be as high as each other.


The genre of the short film is drama . This is because the main purpose is to inform the audience how gang culture can be created


The main setting will be the school, however at times the location will alter. As we don’t want the audience to get bored and think the setting is quiet repetitive.


Distribution Company

The company we chose to distribute our film is Pathé , this is because the organization

tend to produce films within our target audience and our challenging budget.

Also Pathé as a company have years of experience distrusting well known films


Audience


The film will appeal to an wider audience, as most individuals have experienced some sort of teaching and schooling in their lives. However, the production will demonstrate how modern schools have changed compared to the school some people may have been taught in.


Also the secondary audience can see how similar a prison can be to a school, in terms of its strict discipline rules and the values expected from each individual.


The mild reference to strong language would be why the film is classified as a 15 certificate.

Some reference will be made to drugs, as prisons are operating and exchanging this, but no actual drugs are included.
