1. Question 4
Total film review almost all types
of films ranging from big budget
films such as inception to smaller
independent films. With such a
large span of reviews our film
would fit right in to their
magazine. With our budget being
around $15,000,000 this sits
right in with one of the most
successful films of 2011, drive,
drive did extremely well for such
a small budget film and I can
definitely see our film doing just
as well with the same budget.
Total film tend to focus on the
big budget films for their covers
however after looking through
them they do cover very well the
smaller budget films and I see
this as a positive as our film will
still get noticed. Also with such a
variety of film reviews we are
able to get noticed by more people than if we were to go with a specific type of
film magazine. This magazine will also help us as it targets the type of people
who are film enthusiasts as well as casual readers. This also will greatly help us
getting our film out into the public.
This publication has a very wide audience and tends to focus on the main big
budget film of that month for the cover; this isn’t a problem for our film, as even
a slight mention in such a large magazine will help our film get out there.
Review:
If you go and see this film expecting the obvious story where a man comes into
some difficulty and then ends up saving the day then we have to stop you right
there.
This film starts of very strangely with weird music playing throughout the
opening scene, within the first few seconds you meet the main character. The
music playing throughout the opening scene is somewhat confusing, as they do
not fit together with the scene itself. But this will soon be explained further on in
the film, as things start to change.
The contrast between the character, what he does and the music really gives a
strange feel to this film, (spoiler) the opening scene turns out to be further on in
the film. The first scene after the opening shows a man trying to find a job as he
has just been made redundant from his previous job, this man doesn’t have a lot

2. of money and is shown by him wearing the same suit and shoes throughout the
whole film.
The character played by chris abbott has mixed emotions but never shows them
as he finds it hard to do, however if something threatens him you will see a
different side to this character and how he came across initially. Unlike most
films there is no one for him to protect or defend, it is just him and his dirty vans’
shoes.
The film takes a sudden turn halfway through when the character leaves a job
interview and is knocked over by somebody and later finds a letter in his back
pocket.
