MarketingTo advertise our film we will use:

• viral marketing via Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Myspace. The reason we will be using these viral marketing opportunities is

because people in the age range of our target audience use these a lot.

• Competitions for people to win previews. • Blogs and word of mouth can also be very effective.

• Official film page. • Vox pops.

Target Audience0 The average age rating for a common thriller is

18+ due to violence, death, but rather, the synopsis of the films themselves are based upon psychological change and development of a character’s mental state. These changes are usually transpired under the effects and influence of traumatic events, sudden change in life style or loss of a loved one.

0 The common thriller are categorized as 18+ because of the excessive amount of violence and psychological problems which develop over time, these events can be considered disturbing for younger viewers.

0 Our film is expected to be categorized as a 15+ due to the lower level of violence and death.

0 Our target audience is expected to be viewers ranging between the ages of 15-34, however, it will not be categorized as 18+ because the content in the film is not going to be overly explicit.

Production CompanyWe have chosen to use the production company ‘Lions

Gate’. Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation is a Canadian-American entertainment company that

specializes in producing horror and thriller films. For example their first major box office success was

‘American Psycho’ an American thriller.

Influences 0 Memento chronicles two separate

stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.

0 This is an influence for our film Counter Play as it is also a psychological thriller and deals with the theme of revenge. It looks at how far someone will go to get justice for the one they love.

Memento

SynopsisAn average British family encounter a dramatic change in their every day life when a woman faces a loss of the

only thing she’s got left.
