Examples of Film Elevator Pitches
An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that you use to spark interest in your film. It should last no longer than a short elevator ride of 20 to 30 seconds, hence the name. Here are some examples of film elevator pitches:
- “Jaws in a spaceship” – This was famously the elevator pitch for Ridley Scott’s classic, Alien. It succinctly captures the essence of the film and conjures up an exciting visual in the listener’s mind. The comparison to Jaws immediately gives the listener an idea of the genre, tension, and fear factor.
- “A scholar becomes a warrior” – This could be an elevator pitch for a film like Indiana Jones, offering a clear, succinct portrayal of the story arc and the character’s evolution.
- “A love story set against the backdrop of a war-torn country” – This could describe a film like The English Patient. It hints at the genre, the emotional elements, and the dramatic setting.
Each of these examples provides a snapshot of the film’s core concept. They hint at the genre, the main character, and the central conflict, all within a single, digestible sentence. The key to an effective film elevator pitch is to make it engaging, intriguing, and concise.
