1.3The Pitch

Title:
Trust Issues

Logline:

No one is to be trusted

The Tone:
The show has romance and violence. The romance will make the audience feel attached to the characters and feel emotional. Whereas the violence will make the audience feel on edge and scared so there is a mixture of emotions involved in the show. The show will look dark and mysterious with the cold colours as I want the mood to reflect of this to set the tone. 

Synopsis:

Four friends go to University in London and they all live in an apartment together. Weird things start to happen in the apartment shortly after moving in but no one knows who is behind it all. The group of friends get suspicious of the strange activity happening in the apartment so they all research the apartment too see if anything has happened in it before they moved in.  They make a shocking discovery that seven people were murdered in that apartment back in 1987 but the killer was never caught. This leads the group to become very paranoid while in the apartment. Soon they realise when they are out of the apartment the same stuff starts to happen so wherever they go they cannot escape the torture. Meanwhile Jake and Lisa start a relationship but they decide not too tell anyone. The character Theo is murdered in the apartment. This causes the rest of the characters to panic and become distraught. However Jake doesn't want to waste no time so he investigates who is doing all this behind the police back. Jake slowly becomes very depressed and looses his mind over the investigation so Abi and Lisa forces him to stop his investigation which he is not happy about so he carry's on the investigation in secret. At the end of the series, Jake discovers the murderer is Lisa. He confronts her in person but she kills him so she gets away with everything she has done.
