Furor animatic

Here is an animatic version of our storyboard that we made on Final Cut, to briefly show what each of our shots will look like with the titles included. This simply consisted of taking pictures of each shot from our storyboard and uploading them all to the computer. I then exported it and uploaded it to YouTube. Here it is:

Institutional information

Production:
We have chosen to use DNA films because they are behind some of the most distinctive UK films of recent years. Also because forthcoming projects of theirs include supernatural thrillers. Films they have previously produced include 28 Days Later and The Last King of Scotland.  

Distribution:
Our chosen distribution company is Film 4. They offer a platform for British and Independent cinema on terrestrial television. They aim to help develop new British talent and be a leader of innovation in the British Film industry.

UK - Because this is where it will be filmed and will be produced by independent film company.

Germany - Because they have a large English speaking population.

USA - Because many successful American films are popular in the UK, so to test whether independent British films can succeed in America. Also because previous Femme Fatale films were
American so the sub genre links back to the original iconic Film Noir movies.

Australia - Again they have a large English speaking population.

China - Their country is very technological so releasing a new film there should produce a widespread audience.

Exhibition: 

Our target audience would be people who favour the thriller genre, but also who like independent film companies. Our film certificate would be 15 as the film would feature scenes inappropriate for younger ages. Social class does not affect our film as it does not relate to any particular one. However people who are well educated in similar films will appreciate watching this as they will be able to identify the homage used in this film. Finally, audiences of an elder age would benefit more as they would be able to relate to original film noir movies and point out 'Fatal Attraction' in the background, where as a younger audience would not be familiar with it.

Aspects our film will contain that certify it as a 15:
-Violence
-Strong language
-Scene of torture

This is an image I screen grabbed from the BBFC website where it distinguishes the differences between each certificate.

Our Prezi

This is our Prezi which includes information about our chosen sub genre,iconography, costume, narrative, character and representation.

Thriller Opening Presentation


Here is the presentation that Andrew, Nikita and I presented in class. We firstly came up with a narrative that fitted the selected sub genre that we wanted to do, before story boarding each individual shot and adding in which camera angle we were going to shoot it in. Now, we are just finishing arrangements for our setting and researching different types of music to inspire us.
