25 WORD PITCH

David is a young delinquent by night but academically focused by day; but it is inevitable that the two worlds will one day become intertwined.


The composition of this 25 word pitch was a difficult process to complete; predominantly because it is was difficult to compress my incredibly broad and wide ideas into mere 25 words; I would have preferred to dive immediately into elaborate discussions, discribtions and storyline. However, the compression of my ideas meant that I could narrow my idea and the main structure of my opening sequence to be short, crisp, focused and in control.

After writing the 25 words, I read it out to rest of the class, as requested by our teacher. On the left are some questions asked in response.

• "It's really good, What does he do in his delinquent behaviour"

Steal, contribute to public disturbances and takes part in violent acts.

•  What genre would it come under?

Mainly crime and gang culture genre

• Why is David a delinquent?

  Instability in his home, lack of father figure, disconnection with mother and financial difficulties make him conform to his delinquent ways.

• What is the opening sequence going to include?

The boy walks into a library with nice smooth music studying hard to where he walks out in the dark and 'the hood comes up' and he goes to meet his gang buddies. At this point a drastic alteration in background music would occur, from the classical peaceful music to really loud rap music.
