Plot, Genre and Audience

Genre:
Our decided genre is thriller since that seems to fit our plot best and holds it’s own basic rules in it’s openings which we hope will guide us into successfully creating ours.

Film openings- clues to genre:
· Music
· Mise-en-scene (particularly costume, props and setting)
· Colour
· Choice of Actors


Final Plot Outline:

After the mysterious disappearance of her adopted father, a Chinese scientist named Daniel Yang, Courtney resolves to search for her father alone ignoring the advice of her peers. She soon finds evidence that Daniel has found a fatal flaw in the medical company’s new miracle drug after they pumped hundreds of thousands of pounds into it. Courtney knows her father hasn’t just gone missing he’s been kidnapped and she has to find him before it’s too late.

Film openings- clues to narrative:
· Introduction of Characters
· Dialogue
· Voice over/Narration
· Captions
· Props

Target Audience:
We aim for a teenage and adult audience possibly more female orientated through the choice of protagonist. One of the primary issues in the film is- Can a teenage girl plausibly track down and save her father? It certainly isn’t for children or families.

Film openings- clues to target audience:
· Colour
· Age of Characters
· Simplicity of Narrative
· Choice of Actors
