Film Plot 2• The main character is Esther, and she is 17 years old at the

time of the film. The film begins with her finding out that she was adopted. She gets really angry and upset at her parents, and writes a post on her blog about wanting to know her real family. She is then contacted by a girl called Maisie that claims she is her biological sister. They continue to talk, and Esther is concerned about meeting up with her. Maisie talks her into it and they meet up in secret regularly. Esther decides to do some research on her biological family, and finds things that hint towards Maisie not being her sister. It eventually comes out that Maisie is not who she said she was but has actually been stalking Esther for months before they met. Maisie gets angry and attacks Esther but she manages to escape and Maisie gets arrested.

Target Audience

• My film will be aimed at people aged between 17-25, because when I analysed my audience survey, this was the age group that I had the most answers from.

• I chose the BBFC rating 15 because, although my target audience starts at 17, the only other option would have been 18. I think 18 would have too high for my film because it features girls aged around the age of 15/16/17. As well as this, I looked at the different age classifications and decided that the content and storyline of my film would fit the 15 category best.

Budget and Release Date• I think my film would have a budget of around £5 million. In the film

industry, this is a fairly low budget, but after doing research on the genre of psychological thrillers I found that they are mostly made with a small production budget by smaller production companies. This is because they aren’t typically as common, popular or well-known as action or drama film, which usually obtain a bigger budget of around £50 million+.

• I gave my film the release date of winter 2015. I chose this date because I don’t think it is the kind of film that you would see in the summer. I believe that the film is more suited to cold, dark nights as it would fit well with the film and the effect. Also, a lot of films premier in the summer, so by releasing my film in the winter there would, potentially, be les big blockbuster films coming out. This would mean that my film would get more advertising space, have less competition and therefore, hopefully, attract a bigger audience.

Production Company

• My production company is called ‘Once Upon A Time productions’. I chose this name because it has relevance in the film industry, and gives off an idea of what sort of film they specialise in.

• Once Upon a Time productions is an independent, but fairly successful film production and distribution company.

• It typically produces horrors, thrillers and psychological films, which is why it is the production company that will make my film.

• The logo is just the name of the company. I chose a font that fits with the name of the company (typical fairly-tale font), but has a slight twist and looks more creepy- which fits well with the fact that they normally produce horrors/psychological films.
