TV Drama Pitch – fantasy genre

Title: What an unusal call?

Other successful TV dramas are similar to yours:

Narrative – what is the main storyline in your TV drama: an unusual call, main character gets told to leave the country

Genre – how will your TV drama fit the fantasy genre? Its fantasy because its an unusal story where she gets told to do something by a random person

Narrative disruption – what will happen in your scene to develop the narrative? What will the audience learn about the characters or story? - shouldnt listen to just anyone who tells you to do something and you dont know them

Information about the two locations/settings that you are using and why you have chosen them: starts in a park because two girls were just enjoying their time and the second location is at home because the girl is trying to hide.

Information about the main character e.g character type (hero/heroine) their desires, the conflicts they encounter etc.: the character was not supposed to tell anyone about the phone call .

Costume/props that you require for filming: phone for when the phone rings from a weird number.

How you are aiming your product at the specified family target audience:


A girl gets a phone call getting told that she needs to move countries. She doesn't know why or how she will but she was told to do it alone. Her friend was with her when the phone call happened and got told to tell nobody however she told her friend about what the call was.

The two friends will be filmed from far with different angles of where they are sitting in a park. It was a sudden close up of the phone where a random number calls. The next shot will be a close up of their face/ reaction. the beggining will be quiet and the phone call will be what breaks the silence.
clamps= setting will change from the park to a dark room where the girl will be hiding to be on the phone to try understand what is going on.
