Tagline:-Her parents didn’t know; now they never will…
Pitch:-
When a young and neglected Amy is taken, her parents go on a mission to find her, only to find themselves in a twisted game of neglect and perversity leading to the shocking truth of her daughter’s whereabouts. Will the Toymaker win more importantly will the parents lose?
Treatment:-
Amy, a pretty young girl neglected by her hardworking parents, has a daily routine. When her parents leave for work every morning she would make her breakfast and feed the cat down the street. Lonely and isolated she is easy prey for a deranged Toymaker.
After he takes her and leaves an “Amy-like” doll in her place, her parents, race against time to find their lost daughter and to win the game of the Toymaker. The Toymaker leaves a clue on the back of the doll left in Amy’s place that leads the parents to more doll’s and shocking revelations about their daughter’s location. When her parents find the last clue it chillingly reads “I Win”.
After conceding to the belief that Amy is gone forever her parents realise that they didn’t do the best by her, they leave to live with family in Scotland to grieve for their daughter. Some time later they see a news report of a series missing girls from their home town generating the need for them to help the other parents and hopefully get closure about their daughter.
The mother, soon returns to her hometown and is haunted by uncanny doll of her daughter in an abandoned toy shop window. Curious, she breaks into the shop, only to discover dozens of these life-size dolls hanging on the old shelves. When she goes to get a better look at the replica of her daughter, she notices the exact beauty spot, which Amy had on her cheek. Stunned and scared she alerts the police, and they discover the sick truth behind the disappearance of Amy in the Toymakers deadly playpen.

Pitch And Treatment
Feedback
FEEDBACK
Before we made the final changes we got feedback off of other students in our class to help us to improve our opening sequence; we were told:
- The shots look confusing
- The music doesn’t flow in exact time with some of the shots
- A sound bridge is needed at the very beginning to split up your production name and the start of the actual opening
- Each shot needs to be cleaned up so it all runs nicely together
FEEDBACK
After we had made these final changes we again got feedback from the other students
They said:
- It works better when it’s simplistic
- All you need is a title and then it will be perfect
- The house looks really good down the street you chose as it stands out from the others
- Really detailed shots made the whole thing look like it wasn’t even shot in this school
