I for my pitch , i wanted to propose a psychological thriller, where no blood or gore is actually seen but the audience still feels uneasy in their seats. This can be achieved by skilled camera work from a series of angles such as asymmetrical framing to give a distorted feel, and creepy music .
A possible title might be 
"blackout"

Narrative

a woman is haunted by her childhood memories 

Style/tone

• edgy, London at night 
• dark moody , lots of contrast- low key lighting
• back lighting when walking along the streets

Characters/costume/props
Woman

• minimal design clothing, simple 
• all black smart attire
• young age 18-25
• no props needed when outside
• in the house:
• kettle and mug

Graphics
for the graphics, i would choose a simple, 'clean' font that was made up of all capital letters to emphasise the title of the film. i believe by having a plain title to a psychological thriller, will almost evoke a creepiness itself. It could also reflect the perfect look of the characters life yet scary meaning. The three below caught my eye for this:

Or i would chose a font that looks as if it has been handwritten, inspired by the opening credits of the psychological thriller, "Se7en". 

Sound
for the sound, i would chose a primarily instrumental piece that under normal circumstances would sound calming, such as a piece of classical music or a children's song. However when this style of music is played with the images on screen, become quite terrifying.

• Eerie/creepy children's song or classical music plays from sound bridge at the beginning to flashback/dream on the train
• screeching as jagged cut flashback appears
• sound of whistling kettle
• sound of water in the shower
• 3 knocks on the door
