Film pitch for OBEY

The pitch contains details on plot, location, character, music, camera and audience. Here is it filmed:

And here is the slide show:

 

(This is the music that I referred to in the film pitch, this is the song I am going to take inspiration from and not use.)

Narrative Theory – Characters

In a typical Hollywood film, all characters will follow one of seven character types, dictated by Propp’s Character Theory. They are:

• The Hero: The main protagonist who has to go on a mission and save the day. (Usually male)
• The Helper: A character who accompanies the hero on their quest.
• The Mentor: The character who teaches the hero a valuable lesson and is usually depicted as old and wise.
• The Prize: Acts as a reward for the hero after they have saved the day.
• The Dispatcher: The character who sends the hero on their journey.
• The Villain: Tries to gain riches and power as well as getting rid of the hero.
• The Blocker: Tries to stop the hero from continuing his journey.

Below I have created a table with this theory using characters from Harry Potter to show how it fits into a Hollywood film:

My film will not follow this theory, as there is only one character properly shown, and they are not on a mission so whilst they are the main protagonist like the hero is, they do not have any of the characteristics that the hero does.

Character profile/Actor list - Civilian 67520

I will be acting as the protagonist, Civilian 67520, and the only character seen fully by the audience 

A 17 year old boy who lives with his dad, his mother passed away due to opposing the system. He has a couple of friends the same age as him, who spend their time throwing rocks around and just imagining (recreational sports and entertainment are banned as they distract people from working to the goal of a “better future for all”). His school clothes consist of plain black trousers, blazer and shoes. He doesn’t like the society that he is in from what his parents have told him and doesn’t try as hard as he could at school because of it. Spends most of his time daydreaming, a habit he got from his mother – “They can stop anything except what happens in your mind, they can’t stop you dreaming.”
