Planning for thriller pitch

Narrative description
A cop is searching big house to look for a person who's been killed in it. The cop searches several rooms until the victim is finally found dead on the floor in one of the bedrooms. The lights then go off, leaving the cop all alone with the killer still in the room.

Sub genre
The film is a crime thriller
In a typical crime thriller, there is usually dark, unsettling, fast-paced music played to establish a dark and climatic mood in the film that leaves the audience eager to find out what happens next.
Natural lighting is normally used in thriller films as well, so we will be using this type of lighting to our advantage to create our thriller.
Most crime thrillers portray the crime itself and elements that relate to it rather than focusing on the psychological aspects of the killer, so our narrative relates to this idea effectively.

Characters
Cop - protagonist of the film. he is the guy in the film who is attempting to stop the killer and have him arrested for murder. he has already searched several houses in the area but the killer has managed to escape from his clutches every time, so in an attempt to redeem himself, he tries to search the next house the killer went to, hoping to put an end to his killing streak.

Dead Person - this person is dead, and will be covered in ketchup (supposed to be blood) as a way of showing that the killer has already murdered him; emphasising the brutality of the killer. the fact that he is dead obviously suggests that this character will do absolutely nothing in the film apart from lie there on the floor making no movements whatsoever.

Killer - antagonist of the film. he is the guy who has already killed several victims including the person he has killed in the film. although the cop is attempting to arrest him, he is very cunning and is more than capable of taking out the cop.

Location
We will be filming at Jolyon's house, and we have decided to film here for the following reasons:
1. It is close to Long Road, so it will be easy for us to get over there quickly and start filming
2. It is a big house with lots of rooms, so it will take up a whole 2 minutes for the cop to search a few of the rooms, then find the dead person
3. We wanted to film in Jolyon's house because Jolyon's house is modern and we want a modern look so it feels as if it is in the present day

BBFC
The film is classified as a 15 because of the harsh, physical violence and bad/offensive language. There is no graphic, sexual contact in our film so therefore it is not an 18. It is also a 15 because it may be scary or disturbing for people under this age. Not only this but, a 15 has many connotations of psychological disturbances and elements of surprises which could startle audiences which don't conform to the aging certificate. This has remnants of those features.
