Within this film we have included some brief summarising annotations which entails links to similar films so that the examiner can see the comparisons that can be made between them- both similarities and differences. We also speak about the use of mise-en-scene, sound, horror stereotypes and cliches to make it clear what the basis of our film was derived from fundamentally.
notes:


  • For our production company we chose to use an exsisting one as we felt that a low budget film like ours would benefit from a clongomerate like Working Title which is owned by Vivendi ,as although it is traditionally associated with chick flicks like four weddings and a funeral we felt that it would be the most appropriate.
  • As we have a british production company we felt that to effectively advertise our film , Universal pictures ( a large American company) would distribute our film, to ensure that it got credibility and financial credit.
  • Our film could be sponsered by film 4 ( like Slumdog Millionaire, who was also sponsered by Pathe and celledor) as despite having a huge distributor like Universal, we would still need a basis to fall back on if anything went wrong.
  • Our film subverts traditional film discourse as it immediately introduces suspense by the use of the ellipictical phrase' It's coming' instead of introducing character names. This is similuar with the use of the title 'puppet strings' which appears at the end of the sequence instead of the beginning.
  • Our film would be released in the U.K due to the improbablity of the film doing well worldwide as it is only a low budget film which would compare poorly to the big budget american films such as drag me to hell- this is full of big special effects. However should the film do well then we could release it gradually worldwide and advertise by word of mouth as this is the most effective method. Word of mouth has been used by two successful british films( slumdog millionaire and the king's speech) both of whivh won films of the year as well as numerous other awards.
