Pitch for our film

Pitch After observing a series of modern horror films, we have decided to create a film which falls into two different sub-genres which are; paranormal and Possessed child. The background story of our sequence is about a paranormal demonic creature that haunted the Walker family after one child dreamt about this creature which came alive and took over their family and life. After each generation moved into the spine-chilling family abode each mother of the household mysteriously went missing without a trace. As the new generation of the family move in, they reveal the mysteries of where and how the family members went missing. As they realise that the demonic presence only occurs to the 3rd child in the generation they realise that they are stuck in their home with what is realised to be the 3rd child in the current generation. As they recover the bodies of mothers around the house…they find out that the only way to stop the presence was the sacrifice the soul of their birthing mother. But will Miss Walker make it alive or be covered within the rest?

 Title sequence In our title sequence we will include short clips of the dream that occurred to cause the mayhem in our films and include newspaper clips of the stories of the mothers that went missing; this will make the audience have an idea of what the film will be about without actually giving anything away. We will also take inspiration from the conjuring and use old and modern family photos to show who the families were. Each child will have a significant object shown in the pictures that ties them to the unknown occurrences. Our title sequence conforms to the narrative of a typical horror film by using all the conventions. We used a typical story of a demonic child to represent the conventions of characters. By using the children route, we linked our film to films such as sinister and insidious which also have the conventions of a normal horror film. By using the idea of dreams and the past, it made us have the conventional theme of insanity and the supernatural. Due to our title sequence having the possibility of ghostly font and an old effect, it makes the audience feel uneasy and mysterious which is the usual feeling that an audience gains from a horror film.
