title: The Covernant
Tag-line:
"Tears, fears, secrets and lies, all which are kept, but non shall
survive.." (takes there secrets to the grave along with anyone who knows)
this is to show the audience its a mystery thriller
or that it will most likely involve a group of people as the main antagonists
and give a general hint of secrecy or conspiracies
Audience: Our
target audience is over 15's to 40 preferably
interested in dense plot lines, most likely of higher age end audience as the
plot would be intended to be complex and of a mature nature however we want to
include gore and an occult feel to it so our audience stays specific but not to focused on the one area of mystery. they
would be into mystery conspiracy and
horror novels and movie and would be fairly outgoing but mature the
audience are still outgoing age so would be able to easily access to see the
movie while at the same time are mature enough to enjoy the adult plot, additionally most of the UK’s population is
aged to that same target audience range at roughly 40% of all age ranges in the
UK according to my source such as Demography. It is mainly a male bias film as it involves themes such
as gore and crime that most Men are interested by and few females.
Reasons: my reasons for this audience were simply
due to the genera i picked is easy to diverse into subgenera's and its category
has usually a large but specific niche fan base an example of a current popular mystery is Harry potter
and since its release there has been no other popular mystery's, this means all
other genera's such as action or horror have more films developed in that area
less so in mystery leaving a gap in current films and less competition in said area.
Protagonist: The idea of the protagonist is to relate
and almost pity his situation this means as well as caring for him by pitying him the audience would feel as
though they need to know what happens to
him and connect this also relates to the interest and connections to the audience.
Interest and connection to audience: By placing your average
person in a completely outstanding and shocking situation the goal was to make
him react how someone would scared and confused, making the thriller much more relatable and realistic I intend to
also place scenes that don’t show what
the antagonist sees to make the audience keep watching in order to see what he
saw that terrified him so much.
Story: the
story is essentially about a school kid who hears about an abandoned warehouse
after a while his interest peaks and he can't resist exploring the area for it,
upon stumbling onto it he's immediately overcome and looks around before he
discovers something a secret in one of the derelict graffited rooms that fills
him with regret and fear and some mysterious figures noticed and they want the
secret to die with him.
Visual realisation: after researching a few
films there's 1 film in particular which had lighting that was extremely
affective its called sanctum and although the contents are extremely different
the shots are unique as they frequently used lights behind the actors to create
silhouettes these give an eerie outline to the characters and builds suspense
and I wish to apply this to my thriller. Additionally i wish to add vibrantly
contrasting scenes in order to create contrast much like how barths narrative
codes are used to make the audience feel a sense of good and evil with bright
colours and black.
The cost of the
thriller will be mainly from buss travel and props depending how many times we
need to travel to our location to film.
