Story Tellin Unit : Research

 

A research task to make up a pitch from a newspaper article which I feel could be made into a short film.

Pitch on a newspaper story I found from the "Daily Mail"
 
Tragic story of a mothers fight for survival against a life threatening disease, will she survive or give in to death?

This newspaper article was based on a story about a mother who hade a brain tumour the size of half her brain, which she had for 10 years without realising it until she had a random seizure.

 "The Meeting"

After watching the short film "Soft" by Simon Ellis I made a pitch for the film:
 
 
A small town drama about the relationship between father and son, and the affects of gangs to test their masculinity and their fear fuelled rocky relationship. 

This short film is about a relationship between father and son when a gang threatens the pair, the father refuses to stand up to the bullies which then the son realises his father is a coward and he then strikes back protecting himself.
