Main Task- Creating new characters

My actors for Sophia Taylor and Jack Wright

Sophia

Sophie Batten plays the role of Sophia in my film a tainted love. I decided to use Sophie as my actress as i have worked with her before in my previous films and she is very easy to work with as well as being apart of a drama group. 

She is also suited to the role of Sophia who has to play two different personalities one being in love with Jack and the other being strong and independent when she portrays her role as an assassin.

Jack

Jack is played by Hisham Bryan, i felt that he was well suited to this role as he suits the theme of an action/thriller. He is also very easy to work with and has past experience in drama and therefore copes to difficult situations well. He also has chemistry with Sophie and therefore meant that he could carry of portraying the romantic scene at the introduction of my film.

Main Task- Music idea's

Thriller music- idea one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rumJ4USRWi4&feature=related
I feel that by using this type of music for my thriller will add to the suspense and terror that i want to build up. This will be played throughout two of my main scenes, the bedroom scene where she shoots jack and also the scene where she is being assigned the case in the car.
Thriller music- idea two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2fwY99c7GQ
This music is slightly less dramatic than the one above. I feel its more eerie and therefore may not fit into the scene as well as my first idea. However the music does create an atmosphere that enables the audience to engage more with the film as it builds up the tension which is what i am looking for.
Thriller music- idea three http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94blEBYnpnk
This music is a slower in pace compared to the other two but has the same effect and delivers tension suspense and emotion which is what i want the music to portray and illustrate.

At 0.51 it begins with a slow piano section which sounds soothing and emotional yet still has that eerie sense to it as though something is about to happen which is still very important within my thriller. This also creates a story and demonstrates the love that the two characters have for one another.

At 0.30 on wards the beat begins to pick up and i would be using this section if i were to choose to use this idea for my introduction. It portrays a very emotional and romantic side and will show the couple being in love, however it is also very sad and the slow pace makes it very dramatic showing that something is wrong or something is being hidden which ties in well with the plot.

This music is the only one that has voices as well as music however they are very quiet and therefore will not take any attention away from the film. This music is more emotional rather than romantic but it's very slow and creates an atmosphere which will enable a plot to unfold.

Main Task- Radio Analysis

Radio Trailers have to be dramatic in order to get the audience to listen and engage in what they are saying. This is essential as without the aid of something visual it may be difficult to get the same effect as a movie trailer would do if it was shown on television.
Radio Trailers are used rarely now a days however many series and movies have developed and broadcast their films over radio.
For an effective radio trailer i feel that i need to include the following~

• A voice over that attracts attention therefore i need a deep and powerful voice in order to portray the drama and tension in their voice
• Parts of my script in my main film in order to provide snip-its of the plot and the outcome of my story line
• An effective tag line to begin and end the radio trailer that will remain in their minds 
• sound effects of a phone ringing, a car engine and a gun shot to engage the listeners to feel as if they are truly there and therefore heightens the suspense and makes them want to watch it to find out the true story
• bring a sense of mystery so that not all of the story is told leaving unanswered questions that the listeners will want answers to
• dramatic music that brings tension and plays well with the script 

Main Task- Radio trailer idea's

Main Task- First draft of editing

This is the first draft of my edit for my film a tainted love. There are no transitions, music or special effects which will obviously make a dramatic difference to how my film appears to the audience. I also need to adjust the lighting and effects of my individual shots to make them suit the thriller genre.

This first rough edit will be shown to the class for feedback to ask about my storyline and how well they understand the main plot. This will also give me some indication as to what i should do next in terms of editing or if there are any scenes i should re-do or move around.

Target Audience

My target audience for my thriller, a tainted Love will be around 15-40 year old's, both male and female.

Women will be drawn to watch this film due to the power that Sophia has. She represents a powerful women who has a very dramatic and strategic job which empowers women to feel strong. There is also apart of a film that demonstrates the two characters being in love. This genre of romance will attract a female audience and allow them to relate more with Sophia. Men will also watch the film due to the action/thriller side to my genre. Guns, women and action, although very stereotypical to assume will attract a male audience as these are the 3 key elements to a tainted love. Having my assassin as a women is a role reverse as its usually a male, this will also intrigue a wider range of my target audience as its something they are not used to or haven't seen yet.


My target audience will be at this certain age range for a number of reasons~

1. Below 15 years old would be inappropriate due to the us of guns and violence which may be disturbing for younger viewers
2. Audience above 40 may be uninterested in this type of action/thriller due to the faced pace and violence that it entails. Also having a women assasin is not seen as very femine and people above 40 have different perceptions of gender roles and therefore may be uninterested in this film as they feel it is unrealistic.
3. Having such an age gap is important as different parts of the film relate to different ages for example the love scene may be more for women in there 20's but the violence can appeal to men from ages of 15 to 30. The twist will also intrege the top end of my target audince due to the mystery and shock that it brings to the storyline.
4. My actors are also very important as they are young. This therefore means 15-20 year old's can relate more to them as actors and thus appealing to a younger audience as well.
