Equilibrium• The audience will see a funeral taking place, it will be a father that has died, the family go

on holiday in Canada.• The sons goes to look around the area and he is gone for more than two hours.

Disruption• The mum goes out to look for him. They can’t continue as they have found a forest fire, there

is no siting's of the boy named Morgan. • Missing posters are put up, they find six small bones but they have no fire damage on them. • The fathers twin brother dug them up from another child's grave to make it look like Morgan

died. • At this point, the audience don’t know where the bones have come from and don’t know of

the twin brother.• Rose sees a picture of Morgan and a man who she believes is her husband. They go to the

fair straight away because that is where the picture was taken.

Resolution • The man in the newspaper doesn’t have a scar under his eye like her husband does. • Calls the police and asks them to see if her husband really did die, during their searches

they find a man that looks similar to her husband and who has the same birthday. • Eventually track the twin brother down and take him to the police station to be questioned.

The film ends with the audience seeing the twin brother being questioned but you won’t hear his response. Meaning there is no resolution to the story.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR FILM, USING TODOROV’S THEORY.

The genre of our film is a mix of crime, psychological and mystery. We also researched the film Prisoners and we were

influenced by this film because it was a similar genre to ours. The elements that we looked at in Prisoners was the way certain characters were presented and the way the story line was done. This film was well written and the

audience didn’t know what was going to happen throughout and we wanted to add that suspense and tension to our film

as well. We looked at the title sequence for Taken and we researched the film. We also wanted to look at this film

because it revolved around someone going missing and a murder and we wanted to include these elements in our

film.

THE GENRE OF OUR FILM AND WHAT OTHER TITLE SEQUENCES WE

LOOKED AT WHICH ARE OF A SIMILAR GENRE.

TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OUR FILM

The target audience for our film is people 15 and over. We wanted to target an audience like this because they would appreciate the whole concept of the film and also some of the footage that appears in the film would be too graphic for people under 15. Also people under 15 wouldn’t understand the story line of the film and may get confused with what is going on. People at this age are most likely to watch these sort of films as they are interested in these topics and its issues that are happening in everyday life.

WHO WILL STAR AND DIRECT THE FILM?

• Paul Dano is going to star in our film as the twin brother and he is the brother of the husband that has died.

• Courtney Cox is going to star in our film as the wife and she has lost her son and her husband in the film which makes her a widow. In the film she is trying to get her son back.

• Leonardo DiCaprio is going to star in our film as the main police officer/detective. He has no relation to any of the characters. He is just called to the scene when the forest fire starts.

• We have chosen to pick James Wan to direct our film as he is best known for directing some of the best thrillers and horrors such as The Conjuring and Insidious.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL THE FILM COST AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE INTEND OUR FILM TO MAKE AND WHY? WHICH FILM COMPANY WE WANT TO PRODUCE OUR FILM.

Our film is going to cost 50million pounds too make and produce. This is because we are going to have Leonardo DiCaprio star in our film as the man police officer/detective. Our film is also going to have a high budget because of all the props that we are going to use. We intend for our film to make 70-75million pounds overall because of the stars that are in our film. Also the genre of our film is very popular amongst the public and we have selected a good target audience for our film. We want momentum pictures to produce our film as they are based in England but they have also produced American films like Sinister and Insidious which are similar to our genre of film.

We would want to release our film between September and October of this year because we looked at Prisoners which is a similar genre to our film and we researched into the

film and saw that they made more money than their budget on both UK and USA opening weekends. We don’t want to

release it on Halloween as it isn’t a horror and there would be other scary films that would be in competition with our film. During the film, the family just come back from their

holiday which was in the summer which is why we chose to release the film after the holiday as it reflected the time

period that our film is set in.
