Pitch

Film Pitch
The first scene of the film will be set on a camping field with gathered friends introducing the characters talking to one another about previous travelling experiences, this will introduce the audience to the various characters. Our main character, Lucy, gets asked a question about the locket around her neck and begins talking about it. She explains and shows her friends that the locket has a photo of her younger self with her Nan. The scene then cuts to a flashback when Lucy spent the day with her Nan looking at photos, which a memorable day to Lucy.

Afterwards everyone goes home and it’s just the two of them left in the tent, a storm then takes place when Lucy leaves the tent, which she is then transported to an alternate reality. We then see a close up of her laying on the floor with a level shot, of her eyes opening. She wakes up disorientated,  with blurred vision and a ringing noise  in her  ears in this new world on her own, in her grandma’s house and a point of view low angle shot is used of her looking up at an old woman.

When she has awoken she realizes that she is in an alternate world through the difference in environment and objects that are out of the ordinary, one difference is that the alternate world is shown to have different colour skies.

The scene then fades to a close up shot of Lucy being given a photo from her Nan, which will have a voice over of her Nan saying ‘You need to find him. He is your key to getting home’. When she finds out she has a sibling (Sam) who was taken to this alternate world at birth in hope that the two of them would never meet, because when the two are together they have a power, giving the girl all the information that knows but it is not enough, so Lucy then must find out more about how she got here and what she needs to do which will later be discovered in the film.

In the real world time moves much faster and there are missing posters up of Lucy and her friends that she was camping with are upset still about her disappearance.
Lucy then explores the new world trying to find her sibling. While Lucy is looking at the photo figuring out what to do the sibling is shown to be walking past behind and the two being unaware the current circumstances.

The government now get involved, and have detected a source of energy from the area of where Lucy arrived into the alternative world, and now know that she is here, and they want to stop the two from meeting each other.

Different shot types of the two passing in the streets, and high angle shot will be used to make it seem like a CCTV camera is filming them, where they cross paths but do not actually see each other. The shot is then shown to be someone watching them on a computer in a dark room with a computer glowing. Where one of the characters say ‘We can’t let them go, there’re stronger when they are together’.

Lucy finally spots her sibling in the street waiting at the bus stop, but before she can shout his name and go over, Sam is already getting on the bus and not acknowledging Lucy’s presence.

When the two siblings are finally about to meet and the sibling from the real world, Lucy, is about to knock on her siblings door, Sam, the antagonists capture her and take her away.  Which then cuts to sibling opening the front door to no one there and then just goes back inside.

When Lucy is kidnapped and taken to a new location and is being held captive and in pain, Sam can sense something is not right due to their connection. Sam ignored this for many days until he it and decides to do something about. Therefore he goes to the only family member he has and visits his Nan. His Nan explains that he has sibling and the two try to figure out what is happening.


Sam then goes on a mission to find Lucy, to rescue her and sort out this mess.

After searching, they finally meet one another and then later figure that she can get help from her sibling to return to her world.
