Peer Assessment of Storyboards

MY peers thought that i needed a bigger variation of shots in my story, however i thought differently as the shots a specific to that of a chase and there would be no point in closing up on a man in a balaclava , however i could throw one in for the runner. Also i thought differently about the dialogue as there is not much talking in a chase between this genre of character.

ALso it came to my attention that my story was not obvious enough, i kept it very concealed the why of the chase however i need to add a shot of the grave in to make it more obvious why the chase us taking place.

Research into institutions that distribute similar products

http://www.imdb.com/company/co0023293/
Warner bros distribution.
Warner brothers distributed all the Harry potter film.
Sherlock Holmes
Happy Feet
Chemical wedding
Nightmare on Elm street
Star wars The clone wars
Oceans 12

The company may be interested in distributing my film because they have many films that appeal to the same target audience such as Oceans 12 and 13 also contraband and conspiracy theory, all of which have a crime element and have very openings which set the entire film. Especially the Danny Ocean trilogy where the crime is cunning and the sound and shots suit the story.

Warner bro's own there own company and are a member of the big three is the music industry, sound generally there soundtrack will come from there own company, they also are vertically inter-grated and have the means and money of creating there own film.

Love film receive money from big movie companies to rent there film to the masses, love film are generally low budget and do not own any stores, they are internet based but will occasionally have stalls in the streets and shop in order to promote there company and the work they are doing. Shops such as blockbuster will also do similar things in order to promote there own low budget rental company, however will not be vertically inter-grated they will just distribute the film.

Audience research

MY film will appeal to the audience to that of the Dark Knight and Oceans 11 mainly because my film is the a similar r genre. Oceans 11 appeals to a male audience due to its theme of crime and action based film, however due to the actors such as Brad Pitt and George Clooney, it appealed to female audiences due to the actors reputations. My film will appeal to middle/lower class of people due to its theme of crime and cunningness, my film will be semi action and will be mainly hand held, hopefully the appeal will be to the audience due to keeping similar shots and story line, and in case of the dark knight, a similar structure of an opening.

The dark knight however is not the kind of film i attempt. the opening however is what i want to achieve, the dark knight was considered film of the year and many of the actors in it received awards, the opening to that was a robbery but also built into the story, starting with a heist and revealing the story very early on.

I want the mis en scene in mine to be like the dark knights in the scene of identities hidden in opening scene, so our main characters identity will be kept. Also i will use a lot of similar sounds, to maintain the idea of normal life however our main character is different, much like the dark knight where the characters we follow are the only thing not in day to day life, i want my character or characters as i will use to in the opening to emulate the idea of a day time operation, that is crime there for similar sounds are required also very similarmis en scene and shot types.
