Score notes

I found that it was conventional to use music that was mellow at the beginning of the trailer so I chose to use  ‘In for the kill(the dub step remix)’ by scream as it is calm and fits in well with the family driving into the area and entering their new home.
The second piece of music that I used was ‘go’ by kyzer which flowed well with the short scenes of action, as both the music was up beat with a quick tempo and the cuts were fast paced. 

Production schedule

The production schedule allows me to meet the deadlines that i set for myself, which also helps me to be organized and time efficient.

Location

The location we chose was the house. The reason why we chose this location was mainly because; the narrative was based on the killer coming into a new house as the neighbour who then introduces his deadly game. The house is in Gants Hill which shows an average neighbourhood. This is important because it makes the plot less predictable.
The house is about 15 minutes away from school, which makes it convenient for the cast, and also my partner and I when taking props and equipment to the house.

cast notes

This is Mohammed Molana. He plays the role of the killer in the trailer. The reason why i believed he could play the role well was because of some of his features; his beard and scar in his eye-brow make him look rough. Mohammed also has powerful eyes, even in this photo when you look at his face your eyes are drawn to his, this feature helps his acting as a killer especially whilst performing intense scenes. Although, besides his natural aspects Mohammed is studying drama in A-leves and he takes the subject very seriously; therefore whilst filming i can expect him to behave in a professional manner, moving swiftly on throught the scenes.

This is Rabia Gilani. She plays the role of a mother. Throughout the film she is a victim of the killer. I wanted a character who the audience can feel sympathy towards and Rabia has an innocent looking face. Rabia also studies drama in A-level, which allows her to use the skills from her subject and apply them to her role as a mother. 

The son in the trailer was played by Akshay Kumar. The reason why  I chose him was because; first of all he is my younger brother, therefore we share some of the same features which make us look similar and he is acting as my son. Also Akshay is 11years old which  allows his character to be mature enough to make important decisions, although he is young enough for the audience to have sympathy towards him at some points.

Treatment

Target Audience

The target audience I chose were aged between 15-25. The plot is easy to understand and the main experience the audience will gain is the thrill and suspense of the action. Therefore I believe an older and more mature audience would want to see a thriller where the plot is more difficult.

The socio economic groups that I will be focusing on will be:

C1- Supervisory, clerical, junior managerial e.g. shop floor supervisor, bank clerk, sales person

I have particularly chosen these groups for various reasons. First of all, going to the cinema will be affordable as they are all receiving an income. These groups are usually associated with the younger generation, because in the world of work you usually start off with a basic job and then work your way up. Moreover, the younger generation will be interested in a job such as a sales person, because it allows them to balance their school or university life at the same time. People in these economic groups may not have as much work outside of their jobs like a teacher or an accountant would have. Therefore they can also spend time with their friends or family  to go to enjoy themselves at the cinemas.

The gender I have targeted is towards a more of a masculine audience. This is because of the action and violence throughout the film which usually excites a male audience. Although a leading role in the film is played by a female which allows the women to connect to the film as well.

likes and dislikes of the target audience.

The audience like to go out to the cinema, with friends especially to have a good time after school/uni or work. This is because it is affordable and for about two hours they are not being disturbed by anybody. They also love to socialise on the internet and in person, and the latest film is topic that is usually discussed. Dislikes:

The storyline I intended to follow and the vision I had for the film was suitable for the

certificate '15'.

Moreover, in production we followed the guidelines of the British Board of filming classification (BBFC).
Classification: Suitable only for 15 years and over
No one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.

These are the three aspects that I focused on from the BBFC website when deciding on the certificate of the film:
Violence
Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.


Language
There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’). The strongest  terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.


Imitable behaviour
Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.


Therefore i made sure my work reflected the certificate, for example; in the trailer there is a shot of the murderer continuously stabbing the father. Although i made sure i didn't 'glamorise' the scene, so instead of placing the camera in the centre of the action which would reveal everything, the camera was positioned so it was facing the wall capturing the shadow of the stabbing.

C2 - Skilled manual workers e.g. electrician, carpenter

D- Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers e.g. assembly line worker, refuse collector, messenger

Synopsis

An excited family of three are moving into their new home where they are strangers to their neighbourhood. Following this, in order for them to feel comfortable their so called ‘neighbour’ warmly asks to come in to do the honours. Although his warm personality rapidly turns cold and psychotic; leaving the new comers feeling horrified and in regret. Before you know it the new house already has some ground rules, which are important to follow as it is a life or death situation. Moreover, the neighbour/killer who is played by Mohammed Mowlana is the one who sets these rules as a 24 hour long game format. The parents who are acted by Ashish Sharma and Rabia Gilani have a young son to keep safe but it’s difficult; all because of the formidable character behind the hockey stick. Never the less he may have a twisted mind yet he is sharp when it comes to the quietest sounds so escape seems impossible, but is it?
