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.

Using the BFI Statistical Yearbook site, I gathered statistical information such as facts and figures to help gather research in relation to our choice of genre and our target audience. I also used Wikipedia to research existing horror/thriller films to get an understanding of what type of conventions a popular horror film has and their elements as well as looking at different distribution companies.  Camera We used the CANON 500D to film our film opening. The camera was quite lightweight meaning it was easy to hold for long periods of time as our shots were hand-held.

How does your media product represent particular social groups? Many horror movies have a rating of either 15 or 18, due to the graphic content such as blood, gore, sexual themes etc. Our target audience is teens but does not include any references to blood, gore or sexual themes. One way our media product represents social groups is through mise-en-scene. The actors are usually on their mobile phones where it is teens stereotypically for teens to be quite anti-social and always texting or communicating on their smartphones. Also, the setting shows a young social group as in an alley you wouldn't tend to find adults unless they are walking through whereas teens use this type of place to get up to trouble and all sorts. The setting is important as it creates a narrative and creates enigma such as the audience wondering "Why are they there", "What are they doing there" and to think a bad event is about to happen. The clothes work by the actors are casual, ty...
