MY PLAN My Idea – Title : Ludos My short film is going to be around 10 minutes, it is a sci-fi thriller short film about a girl who has been ‘sucked’ into a horror slasher game. This film will be very metaphoric with an open ending, I wanted to make this film make people think their own ending up and what happened and if it was something that happened or something that was made up mentally from her like a nightmare or mental illness. I will do this by filming interesting shots and having the main location be in the woods; this will be a silent film to make it adhere to the thriller genre. I want to target this towards my target audience that loves thrillers and sci- fis .
WHY THIS WOULD WORK I think this idea would work very well as it relates back to the brief, and it includes a popular garden in the Sunderland culture called ‘The Secret Garden’ in Doxford Park, this place has a lot of history in Sunderland. I am very interested in combining different genres of film to create a bigger range of target audience and to create a more unique way of a thriller film. This can create more people to be interested in the local nature and the history behind Sunderland's gardens and places they wouldn’t usually think about when it comes top Sunderland's history.
Feedback From my pitch I know that my idea will be liked by the target audience, I know that as the people who I presented the pitch to said they were very interested in my short film and the location of the short film and how it was interesting that I connected Sunderland Culture and landmarks with the Secret Garden and the haunted history that it has there. Everyone was also interested with the sci-fi thriller genre I mentioned saying that it is unique and that games can always relate to a young adult audience, from that I know that I should lean a little more to the sci-fi aspect of this short film, but thriller did peak a lot of interest sot that is what my main genre is going to be.
