Create a PowerPoint pitch for you own individual film, the structure below is there for a reason if you follow it properly you will perform better when doing your pitch. You will be pitching your films to each other next Friday, remember your group films were for practice, your individual film pitch is coursework, and the Log Line and 200 word pitch is were the marks come from (it's marked out of 10).
When I went to see this film I knew nothing about it apart from that it was a science fiction film, I had not seen a trailer or read a single review, I had no expectations but I left the cinema expectant of the sequel! This film has no real stars to carry it, and hasn't been highly publicised or marketed, although the action is relegated to the last 45 minutes the narrative is strong enough to keep you intrigued and watching.
We see a far more mature and grown up Alex Pettyfer from Stormbreaker fame taking the lead role of John and ultimately number four and his love interest is played by Dianna Agron of Glee fame (but don't let that put you off). Kevin Durand who has previously been seen in Lost plays a humorous evil alien commander.
John is an extraordinary teen, masking his true identity and passing as a typical high school student to elude a deadly enemy seeking to destroy him. Three like him have already been killed ...he is Number Four.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film I liked the limited back story provided through the narrative allowing me to become intrigued and involved in John's plight. It could be compared to a sci-fi Twilight, but it has a bit more balls. The special effects are excellent, and if a film has the backing of producer Michael Bay it can't be all bad, right?
