New Film Proposal

Treatment

In some part of the country, a middle aged man is doing his daily routine of looking through and researching the paranormal and the ritualistic norms of demonology and paganism.

There will be two main half’s of the sequence: a dream like sequence that can be presumed is the man’s dreams where he’s in a wood/forest setting. The dream sequence will be a very dazed, almost hypnotic sequence and will include a glimpse of a figure just keeping out of the frame.

In the present day we see little detail of the man looking through books (demonology books, spell books ect) and doing general research in candle light looking at paranormal subjects.

There will start to be cross reference between dreams and reality and a theme of psychological horror are explored through images of black magic and tension is built through use of editing in the dream sequence.

The titles will be in some runic language to add to the pagan feel to the sequence

Audience Profile

15+ years because the opening sequence creates a strong impression of a threat or menace

Not gender specific

I think our target audience will appreciate the sequence less ordinary themes and put into a curious position over the character and reasons for his interests.

On the socio-economic scale, it will be more popular to grade C2 - E because of the audience that generally fit into those grades are younger and will appreciate the sequence more.

Explorers, strugglers and aspirers because they’re interests best suit our genre and themes of the sequence.

We’re using themes of horror and aspects of escapism (in the dream sequence) to create the thriller sequence.
