Production Company Name

We also had to make up the production company and design the logo for our new production company. 

We named our production company 4 Man Productions because our group contained 4 people and we are all male. Another reason we chose this is because all our films have male target audiences. The red in the logo connotes that our films are in the thriller/horror genre and the red and black together connotes blood and death. The black and the white also work well together as they both emphasis the red. The 4 in our logo is also contains jagged edges which again connotes the films that we make are in the horror genre.

Film Pitch and Comments

We had a task as a production company to come up with a pitch for the film we will be making and we had to role play our pitch as if we were trying to get money from big production companies.

We got told that the name for our film was good because it makes the audience think and it also gives them a hint as to what may happen within the film. The 13th in the title also connotes bad luck and having it in the title also makes the audience think of what could happen within the film that is significant to the number 13.

We also got told that the astro turf would not be a suitable location for a horror movie because it would not create the atmosphere that is made in other horror films because not   many murders or scary events would happen at the astro. Whereas the alley that we are going to be filming in received better feedback as that is a stereotypical location for a horror films.

We had one main weakness for our film and that was that the plot wasn't very detailed. This is because we wasn't totally sure about how the plot was going to develop towards the end of the film at the time.

Target Audience for our film

The main target audience for our horror film is male 15-24. We chose this because most horror films are targeted at men because men tend to deal better with the genre and they also deal with the uncomfortable moods and the story lines and they also find murders,injuries and crimes more entertaining than females do. Another reason that we chose this for our target audience is because the film features mainly males that like football and have grown up together playing it and within our film football plays quite a significant role mainly at the beginning of the film.

Also our film is targeted at employed people, either part-time,full time or students that are still in full time education but may have a part-time job. This is because they will have more of an income than those who don't work and as a result of this they are more likely to be able to pay to watch the film.  Our target audience are also probably single and this will leave them with more money to pay to watch films whereas if they were in a relationship they will have less money to spend on films.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment For Filming

Possible Hazards                                                    
- Falling over while walking and filming outside
- Someone getting hurt while playing football
- Getting hit by the football and getting injured
- Getting injured by knives and weapons 
- Losing media equipment
- Injury caused by vehicle

How to prevent these:
- Watch out for sticks, walk carefully when walking backwards or find another way of getting that shot
- Don't slide and be careful when playing football, don't go lunging in on tackles either
- Don't kick the ball directly at some one too hard and also aim carefully when filming on the astro
- Handle any sharp objects carefully
- Make sure all equipment is looked after and with one member of the group at all times
- Be careful when filming near roads, always look out for oncoming traffic

Falling over whilst walking is a small hazard because it can be easily avoided by being careful and it also will not hurt that much if someone does fall over.

Getting hit by the football is a medium hazard as it can sometime hurt quite a lot.

Getting injured by props such as knives and weapons is a medium/big hazard depending on the prop because if it was something like a knife and an accident happened then someone's life could be at risk

Losing media equipment is also a medium hazard as the equipment is quite expensive so this is why we need to make sure that all equipment is looked after.

Any injuries caused by vehicles are a big hazard because if someone gets hit by  car then this could lead to very serious injuries or even death.

Film titles and reasons

 The title we had decided to call our horror/thriller film was "Rellik Losing Fr13nds". We chose this name because Rellik spelt backwards is killer. Another reason that we chose this was because it is a unique name and everyone would remember it easily because it is different to any other horror film. Rellik is also one of the names for our characters. 

We also chose to add the 13 into our title to replace the i and e. This is because 13 is usually seen as an unlucky number and this may un-nerve the audience watching the film. Also the audience might think that the 13th is an important date within the film and the audience might want to find out what happens on the 13th.

We also chose to use "Losing Fr13nds" because it gives the audience a hint of what may happen in the film and hopefully this may gain us more of an audience because they might want to know why he loses his friends 

Film Questionnaire

                                                                Film Questionnaire:

Before we started planning for our own horror film we had to complete a film questionnaire on how often people go to the cinema, what age group visit the cinema, where most people watch films, genre, favourite genres for the selected age group and what influiences their choice when watching films. We did this so we could decide on a target audience for our film and so we could get some ideas together. After we did the questionnaire we had to write up an evaluation from the result we had gathered.

1) Age? 
10-20  = 4 People
21-30 = 3 People
31-40 = 2 People
40+ = 1 Person

2) Gender?
Male = 5 People
Female = 5 People

3) Favourite Genre?
Comedy = 3 People
Animated = 3 People
Horror = 2 People
Action Adventure = 2 People

4) How Often Do People Go To The Cinema?
Rarely = 6 People
Monthly = 3 People
Never = 1 Person

5) Where Do People Watch Most Films?
At Home = 5 People
Cinema = 4 People
Friends House = 1 Person 

6) What Influences You Film Choice?
Favourite Actor = 3 People
Favourite Genre = 6 People
Favourite Director = 1 Person

Evaluation:

Overall most of the people that I asked were between the 10-20 age range because that is the age range which will have the most free time to watch films,while the most liked genre was comedy and animation  while most people watch most of their films at home and when they do watch films it is the favourite genre that influences their choice when choosing a film.
