Possible Distributor For Our Film

Entertainment Film Distributors would be an ideal distributor for our film as they are UK Based an a leader in their field of work, which is independent films. Entertainment film's doesn't seem to have a particular genre of film as they have ranged from Lord Of The Rings to Hairspray therefore are quite flexible, not only are they that but also successful, which is something we would look for in a distributor. 

Film Poster Research - Easier With Practice

Easier with practice also gives the audience a relatively good idea what the film is about from the poster. Only a phone and a with what seems to be a lonely, slightly worried male. The man looks just like any other average man, suggesting that he probably is down on his luck, not any richer than the average person and just lives a normal day to day life. The phone however must play a huge part in the film as it is the only other object in the poster. The male is laid on a bed next to the phone which is unusual as you would normally see another person in the place of the phone, this suggests that the male has some sort of relationship with the phone, or whoever is on the other end of the line. The text is simple and basic adding to the feel of the average male.

Film Poster Research - Catfish

 The film poster for Catfish gives enough insight as to what the film is about however doesn't reveal all. The image only reveals half of the faces suggesting one or both of them are hiding something and not completely being them selves. The title of the movie is in a well recognized social media font, with the blue back ground and white text, giving the viewer an even more in depth insight into what the film may be about. To confirm that the film has something to do with Facebook, online, computers etc there is a mouse cursor on the what is made to be 'screen'. Adding to the effect of a 'screen' like cover the image is slightly pixelated as it would be on a computer screen.



Risk Assessment




Possible locations



 One of our locations is set in Darton, near the railway station. We chose this location, because from some angles the street looks like any other harmless street where nothing could go wrong, giving the viewer and character a sense of security, then at other angles it shows a dark, dingy tunnel which could be seen as scary. This tunnel is where the kidnapping will take place.


Our main filming is going to take place 2 Mayfield, Monk Bretton in Barnsley. This will be shown as 'Hollies' house. Inside shots of the house and a photo storyboard will be shot later on.


A scene in our film will take place in a busy town centre. We're going to create a time lapse over a space of 10 minutes with the main subject standing in the same place, where the world is carrying on moving around of her. Complications we could see with this shot will be members of the public who may not want to be on our film and will refuse to be filmed.

Similar Film - The Call

The Call
How is the film similar
The male character that kidnaps the man is unknown throughout the film, you never see his full face until the very end.
The victim is a teenage girl, who is kidnapped from a quiet area and is bundled into the boot of the car.
The male character is seen to have committed kidnapping and killing before as at the beginning of The Call we see the same man kidnap and kill another young girl which is the same as our film as we see Ethan delete Hollie as a friend and add someone else suggesting he is about to commit the crime again.

How is it different
The call differs from our film as the main characters are the call centre worker (Halle Berry) and the young girl kidnapped, whereas we just focus on one character, with minor characters. The call also allows us to realise why the man wants to kidnap young girls as he has a childhood issue that led him to do what he has done, however in our film we don't know why Ethan chooses to kidnap girls.
