Basic Treatments: Main Task

By

Working Title

Olivia and I chose to name the title as 'Unknown' reason being why we chose this as our title because the 'stalker' which is shown following Liv,  contacts Liv through text message and as the message appears as 'Unknown'.

Genre

The chosen genre for our film opening is horror/thriller. Having done some research we concluded that horror and thriller is a very top rated genre in relation to films and are very successful - as shown in the BFI Statistical Yearbook research. 

Central Theme

Our film will be in relation to the themes of social media stalking and vulnerability. 

Synopsis

A young girl and a group of friends receive strange messages and images from an unknown number. The girls don't take the messages into much consideration so they ignore the situation. The mystery continues and leads up to all 4 girls going missing one by one.

Pitch

Our film will be rated 15 because we think this is the suitable age rating and our target audience will be age range from 15-18 year olds. The reason being to why we chose this age range for our target audience is because during the research done on the BFI Statistical Yearbook, we concluded that the top performing 15 rated films was of horror genre. From this information, it tells us that this specific age range are more interested in this genre which means we would recieve a higher box office gross from this production.
 The film will be entirely handheld shots.

Evaluation: Question 6

Q: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? The Internet I used the internet throughout for our prelim task and main task mainly for research and when finding background music for our main task.
