2. Plot
The film opens with a montage on Saeed walking through the
streets of London, with different clips in the media speaking about
prior terrorist incidents
The opening revolves around a young innocent male known as
Saeed, with the opening scene having him running away from
officers, yet the reason at this points a mystery to the audience.
This later to leads Saeed’s interrogation is what appears to be in a
small location in an unknown part of London. The audience then
becomes aware of the other character in the opening, detective
Jones. The interrogation is later found to be due to the suspicion
that Saeed is involved with terrorist activities due to be associates
with Ahmed Khalif, however he is completely innocent. During the
interrogation detective Jones makes several remarks about Saeed’s
character, obviously enraging him. However the interrogation
comes to an abrupt end where detective Jones gives Saeed an
ultimatum of either working for the intelligence firm or going to
jail without anyone even knowing where he is.
3. Target Audience
My Target audience revolves around the age group of 16 to 35 year
olds. The reason for me targeting the teenage demographic is due to
the fact that through past experience many teenagers have been
stopped by police, in which they feel is injustice although it can be
argued that the police are simply doing their job, even at the cost of
brewing tensions not only between teenagers but also different
cultures and races. However my targeting of a youthful audience is also
due to the use of young actors in the film, thus displaying viewpoints
and ideas that a younger generation would be able to relate to. The
reasoning for targeting an older demographic (20+) is due to them
being alive during recent terrorist activities so they may either be able
to relate to the film or may be intrigued by being able to have another
insight into what may occur in the lives portrayed.
7. Costume Analysis
With the character Ahmed we have gone for a
youthful ‘urban’ look. For example the
character appears to be wearing blue Nike
training which seem to be very popular
amongst many teenagers in present times.
8. Costume Analysis
We as a group believe that this appearance will
give our project the best project to present a
youthful, urban on screen presence, that will
contradict the presence of other characters
involved within the project, who may appeal to an
older audience (Detective Jones).
Our aim is to automatically give the audience a
general stereotype of the character before they
actually become aware of the actual subplot.
9. Costume Analysis
We used the crime thriller ‘Training Day’ as
inspiration for Ahmed’s character. For example
in the film the two main characters were
hardly dressed in smart attire, so we followed
suit by allowing one of our characters to fulfil
this role.
