Idea for a film, First two minutes of my Film and My Pitch.

Title: Red Head Sucker
Rock star legend: Lenny Rich

The scene centres around the genre thriller/horror. The idea came watching the series Criminal Minds. It inspired me to direct and create a film based on a particular episode. The film is about a rock star called Lenny, who performs at several concerts. He has an obsession about red head women. At the end of each concert Lenny tracks down and follows a red head woman fan home. They always look surprised and happy to see their legend arriving on their door step. The women fall for his charm and invites him in. Lenny fakes a relationship with them and after a number of weeks he shows who he really is and not the rock legend people think he is. In the end he turns them into vampires just like he is.

The film is set in London and the main character, the rock star, lives on his own in a penthouse in Chelsea. He drinks quite a lot of alcohol and smokes cannabis on a regular basis. Lenny wears a black leather jacket, dealer boots and lots of black eyeliner. His fingernails are painted black and he has long, black hair. Most of his fans are "goth" looking as their faces consist of a number of piercing's and dark, heavy make up. A number of eerie soundtracks are used through out the film to create tension and suspense. There is lots of low key lighting, especially in his predator's homes. This will make the audience feel nervous and put them on edge which is necessary with the genre type. A number of extreme close up shots will be filmed, this includes images of Lenny's face and images of the victims faces (their necks when action is taking place). These shots will maybe make the audience feel uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the film a loud, heavy rock song is being played in the background and there are various clips being shown. Firstly of the rock star performing, secondly the fans jumping up and down going wild and thirdly the reflection of the disco lights moving on the ceiling. After a minute of this, the scene changes and  Lenny is back stage, is his dressing room. Here we see the legend applying more eye liner to his eyes. He then takes a large swig of whiskey from a bottle. A reflection of himself is present in the mirror opposite him, he throws the bottle at it aggressively and it shatters into pieces. Lenny picks up a sharp piece of the mirror and it cuts into his finger. He licks the blood away and laughs hysterically.


Pitch: This film will have you sitting on the edge of your sits as rock star Lenny turns out not to be a rock star legend after all.
