Response to the client brief

Its the first 2 minutes of an original new thriller movie as a taster to screen at our festival next year. It should be shot in the UK and aimed at 16-24 year olds. It should include all the conventions of a film opening and many of the techniques used in the thriller genre.

A way to get to 16-24 year olds is to include all conventions of a film opening and all the techniques. If I make an action thriller it will attract the younger audience as they are into that type of stuff. A younger audience would like more action and intense scenes. The music will be original and copyright free. This is because copyright an cause a lot of problems. I am making a proposal which will need to meet the client brief, such as the budget which is low and should be taken into consideration. 

While I'm creating my film, my target is to maintain a low budget. As I'm doing intense scenes I will have to purchase props to suit the atmosphere of the scene. I will like other things like lights too but I will have to keep the low budget in mind. A portion of my audience are under 18, the BBFC are the regulatory of films in the UK and they watch and give the film an age rating. This means I will have to keep in appropriate.

When making the trailer I will make it clear what genre it is so the audience are aware of what the movie will be about etc. That's for the trailer, if I were to create a full movie I would give details like release date, in cinemas etc. If it isn't eye catching I have failed what I have planned.

The conventions in the opening will be:

Intense Music- Music plays a big role so by using music, it could build up tension. 

Dark/Dim lighting- I am using this because it is common in a thriller and it brings a sense of fear. It will work good as my movie is a type of horror.

Changing angles- Helps the audience see what is going on in different parts of the scene. This gives a better understanding of what's going on.

Fast paced editing- This usually makes the scene more interesting and tense. Fast editing can be used when a character is being chased or in trouble etc. It will bring intensity to the picture.
