TARGET AUDIENCE
one of the main things we have to do is to appeal to a certain target audience. as our film is psychological thriller it will appeal to people who are into thrillers and also like to think about the plot and twists what the move will hold. i have decided that our film we target both genders as by adding features of which both genders like. for example i think it will appeal to boys because it will include violence and action which most boys enjoy as they like violent video games for example call of duty.

 we will appeal to girls by making sure the main character is good looking because it is known that girls cannot resist to watch a movie that has a good looking actor in.

PROPS

one of the main things in our film will be the props, by including props it will help us to show the audience what genre of film it is which is a physiological thriller.
the props that will use are:
HANDCUFFS

POLICE UNIFORM

FAKE BLOOD

location
we will have two locations for our film one being a corridor of a prison and the other being a domestic urban setting. for our prison corridor we will have to use the college corridor as we asked if we could film in the Barnsley police station but for health and safety reasons we could not. the college corridor is the only place with grey walls and flooring as we need dull colours to show that the character is in a dark place in his life.
we have decided for our domestic urban location we will shoot at my house as we think it is the best place for camera angles and settings. we need to create the impression that even though that the area is happy and safe everything is different behind the doors of someones house, this is like the film poltergeist which helped to us to give us the idea.

certificate of our film
looking at the BBFC rules and regulations of which certificate suits our film more it would have to be a certificate 15. as we have chose for the genre of our film to be a type of thriller involving bloody and action scenes and taboo langue. i had a look at at what certificate 18 would be but our film would not have such gory scenes that would make it an 18.

What might I see in a 15 rated film or video?

Any of the following:

•   strong violence
•  frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
•   portrayals of sexual activity
•   strong verbal references to sex
•   sexual nudity
•   brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
•   discriminatory language or behaviour
•   drug taking

most of these categories above would be involved in our film except the last one by looking on the website BBFC helped me to see what we could include in our film.

Britney spears Everytime video

Even though this is a music video this scene inspired us to put it in our film. As in our film the character is murdered in the bath and when her husband finds her dead his first reaction is to lift her out. 

psycho 

i have chosen this scene from psycho because i think it fits in well with our film as the person who is killed is killed in the bathroom. the parts that are similar to our movie is that the woman is killed with a knife in the shower, so we have chosen the same murder weapon and it will end the same way that this scene ends with a close up of the blood going down the plug whole. this scene shows the character being killed in the bathroom but our film will show her already dead but the audience will know that she was killed by a knife as the killer left it behind. 

Prop list

Police officer outfits-
For the police officers to make it look real and create sense of danger in film. http://www.jackiesfancydress.co.uk/shop/1

 

Hand cuffs -

We will need hand cuffs for the police officers to carry to let the audience know who the police officers are and their intentions.

 

Knife -

To make protagonist and audience know how Lucy has been murdered. Knifes also link in with this genre.

 

Fake Blood-

We will use the blood on the knife, floor and bath as a handprint to show Lucy's struggle to try and save herself.

 

Car and Car keys-

We will use a real car to make it look more realistic and to also show in the film that he is an adult. The car keys also make the film have that little extra verisimilitude.

 

Brief case-

For Darren to look like he's been at work
