your media product andwhy?Hevatica Productions
2. We think that our film, The Lady in Red, would be a very
successful Film Noir because itfollows all the conventions of a
film noir and has a really dramatic storyline, which will
keepviewers on the edge of their seats.We have produced our film
from a variety of different successful film noirs such as: Sin City
LA Confidential Laura Se7enTwo of these films (LA Confidential and
Se7en), were produced in Hollywood studios. If wewere to have our
film produced in a Hollywood studio, it would give our film more of
a chanceto grow a fan base and also have a bigger budget. Our film
will appeal to a Hollywood studiobecause it is a black and white
movie, chroma key, the props we used, and our talentedactors. The
Chroma key which we used, was inspired by the film Sin City, as you
can see inthe video above. 3. In our opinion, we think that our
film would make a very, very successful TV Movie ifit were to be
produced, because we would have a much bigger audience.However, we
have chosen to release it as a Hollywood film because due to
thespecial effects and money in which we would spend making this
film, we believe thatto maximize our profits, we would release it
as a Hollywood film rather than a TVMovie. We would show our movie
on channels such as: CI (Crime & Investigation) Fox Cinema
Channel 5 Sky1.We would have chosen to release our film at about
Autumn/Winter time because this isthe time of year people tend to
sit in their house and watch TV the most as the weather isusually
cold.We have chosen these four channels because it fits in with our
film genre, which iscrime, very well.Because our film would have
strong language, violence, heavy drug use and sexscenes, we would
not tailor, or put it on a channel which has an under 18 audience
and itwould not be suitable for the younger generation. The
channels in which we would avoidwould be Disney Channel, Fox Kids
and MTV. 4. Our film would be distributed by Warner Bros. because
they are a trusted, popular film noir distributor and area very
successful company. We chose these because they are a well known
studio and have created a lot ofsuccessful films such as Harry
Potter and LA Confidential, a very successful film noir.LA
Confidential was released in 769 theatres and managed to make
$5,211,198 on the opening 3 days of itsrelease. This stands out
from the films which were released to many more cinemas and still
didnt make anywhere near that much. In the top 20 films, Warner
Bros. take 3 places which means they are very successful.Because
our film would contain strong language, violence and sexscenes, the
BBFC certificate we have chosen our film to be would be an18, the
film noir genre is also mainly aimed at an older audience. Wehave
decided that our film will not distribute merchandise as
theaudience in which we have appealed to, will most likely not want
to buyt-shirts and other merchandise as it is usually the younger
generationwho buy these things. 5. We think that our film should be
released as an Hollywood film because, it is a typical noir
settingwith a casino and on the top of a roof in a built up area.We
have also put Sienna (the Femme Fatale) in a red dress, using a
chroma key, she is also themain character so we need her to stand
out. The expensive suits in which the three police men wearwould
also link in with the high budged of Hollywood movies.Many film
noirs include low key lighting and usually a casino scene, so we
included this when thepolice men discover what Hugo is cheating on
Sienna, we also included the low key lighting tomake our film a lot
more dramatic.We do not feel that our film should be an Internet
only release, this is because our film is aimed at awide range of
people over the age of 18 and would not get the recognition it
would deserve if it wasto be an internet release only.Also, it
would not make as much money because not everyone likes to buy
things off theinternet, alternatively, some people do prefer buying
films off the internet as they find it much moreeasier than walking
to the shop to purchase it. To ensure that everyone has the choice
weather tobuy it from a shop, or online, we would sell our film on
both the Internet and in the shop.
