2. The Plot
A husband and wife go on a business trip to Amsterdam. The wife has to
leave early on a flight which later goes missing and is suspected to have
crashed.
A month later the husband receives a call from his wife which shows on caller
ID. He answers the phone and there is a loud noise and the call ends.
Whilst the husband is with his new girlfriend he gets another call from the
wife she says just one word and the call ends. This happens continuously
every week at the exact time the flight was reported missing.
3. Why did we chose this title?
We chose the title “The Lost Ones – 227” as it is mysterious and exciting which
would draw our target audience in. It could lead to people thinking:
• Who are the lost ones?
• Why are they lost?
The “227” links to the recent Malaysian lost plane. As it has been in the news a
lot it could also lure in our target audience.
4. Characters and why we’ve chosen them
Husband played by:
Christian Bale
We chose him
because he is
instantly
recognisable and
would create lot of
interest.
Wife played by: Monica
Potter
We chose her as she has
played in many horror
films before such as Saw.
5. How are we going to create interest
The cast has many stars which reaches out to many different people.
The storyline has never been done before and will have lots of interest from
the news coverage of MH17.
We made it a 15 certificate film which limits how horrifying we can make it
but means we have a much larger target audience.
6. What will the narrative be?
Storyline:
A husband receives calls from the wife he thought died in plane crash which
leads to him going insane.
Settings:
Set in modern day in Amsterdam mainly filmed inside, at night, with low key
lighting to match the genre of horror.
Themes:
Insanity, torture and nightmares.
7. Film marketing
We are hoping to hold a online premiere for the film which people
can pay for and have it streamed to their smart T.V or computer.
For advertising we want billboards in the U.K and the U.S in places
like London, New York and Hollywood. This meets our target
audience as they are film loving cities.
Our film poster is on the right:
8. Conventions within the genre
To make the audience know it is a horror film we will include the following:
Low key lighting this will make the audience automatically aware that it is a
horror film.
Mainly being set at night in a poor parts of London and New York which
will create horror feel about our film.
