Risk Assessment

We have had to make a risk assessment as this means that we are not liable to being sued if anyone does get injured

Film Pitch

When doing research about film pitches we discovered that it has to be done and dusted in twenty five words, otherwise the film producer will get board of listening and won't sanction the film. The pitch also needs to outline your intentions and the films plot.
"A man facing challenges to get his family back from loan sharks based around taken and abduction and it's your typical Jason Statham Film"
Genre: Action Thriller
Audience: 14-34 Year Old Males

Mood Board

Everyone in my group had to make an individual mood board so that we could see what our ideas looked like on paper.

Then we had to compile all if our ideas from our individual mood maps and put them into one big mood board. This allowed us to compare our ideas and accurately imagine what we wanted to do

Film's Title and Plot

The title of our film will be Loan Shark and we chose this, because the plot of the film is someone who gets into severe financial trouble and is forced to take out a loan with a loan shark and when he can't pay it the loan shark kidnaps his family and he has to get them back.

The other possibilities for our films title were; Capture; Payment; Hostage; Kidnapped; Ransom; Shark Hunt; and The Fisherman.

The reason we set out the mood board like this was because it clearly shows the different parts of the mood board that we individually made and it also allows us to see what ideas appeal to us as a group

Possible Scenarios

There were four different possible scenarios that we could have chose when choosing our genre and target audience;

• A mainstream Action Film that'll appeal to a demographic of 15-24 year old males and is based on a comic book.
• Remake of a late 50/60s Hammer Film with a male demographic.
• A supernatural thriller that would attract a female demographic and would appear to be an international co-production like Twilight
• Independent movie featuring a young protagonist, supported by regional funding.

Demographic

There are several different demographics that you need to be aware of when producing a film
Kids 5-11
Teens 11-14; 14-16
17-21
18-34
25-54
55+
Men, Women, Children, Young Adults, and Educated People

Genre

As a group we decided to stick to the genre of our preliminary task and go with an Action Thriller genre for our film opening. This decision had been supported by our audience research which suggests that our audience will be mostly men between 14-34 that'll be interested in our film. This was the audience that we had hoped to appeal to to.

Production Company

As a group me, Sarah, and Amarnie decided that we should do something related to British film and then we thought of Three Lions Productions due to England's National animal being three Lions.

Our production company will only produce British Films with British actors and has the aim of improving the stature of the British Film Industry

Other suggested names included British Academy Films (BAF) and this is one that we could have due to BAFTA as this would have affected Copyright laws
