Institution research

This is the main production company intro.

In the short institution production I tried to link it to horror and mystery genre, for the horror part I used a green screen of birds flocking into the scene i also added creepy sound effect for the intro which can make the audience think this looks creepy and might get an idea thinking its a horror film

To add on the animation we used for our institution title screen was heavily influences by the
the warner brothers animation is a big inspiration in the creation of our institution production , as we watched the Warner bros animation we noticed how smooth the animation, as you can see in our Pixel films institution we can see its very similar with the creepiness and mysterious theme and the dark colours in the background makes the audience think what is going to happen in the film.

Props and costumes for the film

Missing poster:

Our main story plot is that someone has gone missing so to present that we made a missing poster with the face of the person who gone missing, I designed this poster at home with the use of program of paint.



Black hoodie:
In the film we have a creepy and suspicious person, to show that we used a black hoodie to represent a bad guy as this type of clothing is usually associated with crime and bad guys.

The colour black is usually associated with criminals which makes the character look bad and can be seen as evil.







Youth Cap:
We used this cap to hide the identity of Leon, this is because Leon in the film is in hiding, the use of the cap can make people suspicious and curious of the person.

Target Audience research

Target audience
Age

In my film LOST I think the target audience for the film is young teens ( 15 - 25) and mid aged adults ( 20 - 25) I think this is a good age for the film because teens are usually going out with friends to the cinema, and teens usually will look for new exciting films to watch, the films genre is a thriller which can get middle aged adults to watch the film.

Gender

I think the film will have woman and men as the target audience because of the genres of the film Thriller, action , horror, I think horror and action will attract males to watch the film because most males will like action paced films and for both men and woman will like horror, and Thriller will attract females to watch the video as woman will like the exciting plot of the story.

Overall I think the target audience is mainly aimed at young male adults 15 - 25 because of the story line, this is a suitable age group because the story line is about a adult who became lost, but we find out hes not lost but hes a murderer.
I think the film should have a 15+ rating usually 15+ films are usually action, thriller or horror based films, for a mature audience, films like ride along or the ring all have something in common they all have mature content that wound't be in a kids film like toy story

Title research

Title research

The title of our film is called: LOST

The meaning of LOST in the film is about someone gone missing, we find out later that it isn't just about a missing man, as the audience will find out a murder is involved with the missing man.

In the title I used simple lettering and with shade on the letting going down, this should make the letters effective because it looks creepy and mysterious, this can make the audience guess what type of film LOST is.
