Expectations: Our audience will be able to expect the original code and conventions of a thriller film. For example, low key lighting, fast paced cuts and eerie slow/fast music.

Connotations- Objects placed in the mis-en-scene of a shot will have a meaning and help to the audience to build a view on the characters.

Slide Five-

We decided that out company specialises in thriller films, especially the sub-genres of crime, mystery and psychological thrillers. Out company is also known for the shock factor and big twists, for example out recent film ‘Round The Bend’ has a interesting twist in it.

The name of the logo is placed on a black strip connoting to the audience the dark and mysterious films our film studio creates. This therefore highlights the genre of thrillers and horrors. The font we used for the text on the film strip is a ‘typewriter’ font which helps the emphasis the detective/police convention of crime thriller films allowing the audience to see this immediately.

·      Its headquarters office is situated in London- Local.

·      It currently distributes for Lions Gate Entertainment, but has previously been a distributor for Momentum pictures and eOne films.

·      And since we specialise in thrillers, this distributing company would be perfect for us (or we’d be perfect for them).

·      In their top 25 grossing films, nine of them are thriller films.

·      I believe that no other distributing company compares to this one when looking for a distributing company for a thriller film.

Slide Eight

As the character is a ten year old girl, we found it hard to find a female child actor that could play this part as most were either not cute enough or looked too old. But when I saw the advert for the new Twilight film I saw the young girl in the film and she fitted the part. The actors name is Mackenzie Foy. She hasn’t had many movie roles but she has been casted in the Twilight film, which is a huge deal, and she must have some talent. She is eleven years old and has experience of playing someone who is innocent and seems to have been a victim, as seen in Hawaii 5-0.

You can see his acting skills and why he would be perfect if you have seen the Watchmen. He plays Night Owl who is a superhero that is very good in hand-to-hand combat. He is also a genius who can create this and use his smarts instead of violence and all superheroes are detectives too in some way.  He is also very compassionate and cares a lot for his friends. Also when not a superhero and disguising himself as a regular guy he seems geeky and awkward which is what a stereotypical dad is seen as to their son/daughter.

The villain of this film would be the kidnapper who turns out to be the hero’s best friend. My initial idea for the character was that his depression through losing his child would send him crazy and cause him to do what he does. I also wanted an actor who has played a character like that before (someone a bit psychotic).

Slide fourteen

These are the additional characters that will not be in the opening of the film, but is relevant to the rest of the film.

Slide Fifteen

We have chosen this lane because it is a quiet area. There is not a lot of people around usually, and at night it is a very dark place. This is suitable for us as this will help us to create a mysterious and unease feeling for our character.

Slide sixteen

This location for filming was a suitable area because even though it is a main road it is not entirely busy. This will retain the unsettling atmosphere amongst the audience, as the shot again will focus on the young child.

Slide seventeen

This setting will be shown through a range of different shots to show the significance of different objects in the mis-en-scene. For instance the framed pictures on the wall be of the young girl symbolising the relationship between the child and the father.
