Who do we envisage producing our film...?
The type of company we pictured producing our film wouldn't be big budget hollywood, but something a tad more low key, a company that could explore, market, and would initially be interested in a gritty, traumatic thriller film like our own. We pictured a an independent company, who would want also want to create a serious, hard-hitting film, rather than a clear goal driven, plot predictable big revenue movie. (We pictured companies like 'Film Four Productions' 'Lions Gate Films' 'Summit Entertainment' 'Overture Films' or 'Hannover House')
What was the inspiration behind our concepts and ideas...?
Many TV dramas that had had us frightened,gripped and intrigued, quirky credit sequences, and thriller films gave us the inspiration for our film.
- We'd seen many serial dramas on channel four and itv, that had incorporated the conventions and concepts of the thriller genre, in a naturalistic but scary way. we were inspired by programmes such as, 'Five daughters' 'This is england' 'Prime Suspect' 'The Little house' etc, all of which touched serious issues in interesting ways.
- We looked at various credit openings to get a feel of how typical sequences worked, but these also gave us many rebounding ideas of our own, for ways in which we could make our credit sequence, much more interactive and creative! For instance, the opening credit sequence of the E4 comedy drama 'Fresh Meat' the names of those involved/ the cast appear on/around different elements of the student house they live in, this and the parallel music really help to set up the tone of the programme, and we wanted/were inspired to, create the same affect with our own opening sequence!
Genre,Audience and Context
In order to accurately include key conventions of the thriller genre we studied and analysed many similar openings that fell under the same category, this helps us initiate what we would need to defiantly include before we could start throwing about more inventive concepts. (We watched clips from films such as 'Sherlock','Inception','Jaws' and 'Physco' and some other media students previous work). We also debated putting our film into a different time frame/context, because we felt it had made some of the other films more affective and could attract a wider audience more effectively (if it was set say 20 years ago some dramatic elements may seem more dramatic as the audience would not be able to necessarily relate to this time frame as well making them feel disconnected and disorientated) we saw our audience as being mid-late teen/young-mid adult - a fairly wide range, but one with whom could deal with the issues we intended to explore.
