Plot

We have decided, as a group, to have a plot that has a kidnapping theme. We are going to incorporate the police and a police investigation into this to make it a crime drama.

Plot:

Faye is getting on with her everyday life and catches a bus to meet her friend, Kate.  Kate is at a bus stop waiting when Faye doesn’t turn up.  Worried texts are exchanged.   A 999 call is made.  The police make a visit to Faye’s parents and tell them that their daughter has been kidnapped.  This is when the police start their investigation and create a ‘CSI’ like board, to figure out who has taken Faye.  There are 4 Suspects: Maddie (‘The Bully’), ‘Finley’ (‘The Half Brother’),  Adam (‘The guy best friend’ who is secretly in love with Faye),  Mrs Palmer (‘The School Counsellor’).  Each of these people are suspects because they had a relationship with Faye.  The investigation is ongoing throughout the film and trailer.

Film Title Design

Once we had chosen a film title the next step was to start designing how it would look. I used a program called Serif DrawPlus because I am experienced with it since using it for my other subjects, which meant I felt confident of making a good design. The colour scheme I used was white, black and grey because they are colours that connote a jail cell, this goes well with our crime drama genre. As we start to make our trailer, and the other two aspects, we may choose to adapt the design of the film title so that it works well with our productions.

Evidence for Our Target Audience

This is our ideal target audience member who we think our film is aimed at. We used the YouGov website to find the target audience for a film similar to ours, “Kidulthood”. It showed me to have some similarities to the audience we had originally chosen which makes us believe that the audience we had chosen was ideal for our trailer.

This is what we found on YouGov.

Choosing a Title

In order to find out what film title to use we conducted a questionnaire to ask our target audience. After doing this we found out that Last Laugh was the most popular so now we have our film title.
