1. PRODUCTION PLAN
ENIGMA

2. LAUNCH DATES
The launch date of my film will be 22nd March 2019. This is a significant time of the year to release my film, as
most big blockbuster movies are released either before Christmas, or at the start of each season etc, depending
on the type of film. EG. ‘Hop’ the movie, released in time for Easter. As a result of this, my movie will not
necessarily have any big competitors, therefore my target audience will be more likely to go and watch my film
instead of something else.
My launch date is also significant because it means that is released just before the cold period of the weather
ends, and this is important because it is going to have a ‘gloomy’ setting therefore wouldn’t be relatable or fit in
the summer period.
Nothing clashes with my launch date and therefore all of the focus from my target audience on the launch date
will be towards my film.

3. CONTINGENCY PLAN
I have a contingency plan set up in case anything during the filming or editing process goes wrong or needs to
be changed.
If the location is unable to be used at the time of shooting, I have another similar location set up and nearby that
all of the actors and actresses can get transport to as well.
If any actors or actresses are unwell, I have planned for rescheduling dates also. This means I can still have the
actors and actresses that are fit for the roles, and still keeping in the time frame.
If anything goes wrong in the editing process, I have the software at my home and school in able to get the
editing done if time is an issue, or if anything is deleted, I will ensure this is backed up on all my electronic
devices, therefore I will not lose any important footage.

8. CAST AND CREW
1.
Within my film, there will be 1 main character, the adult male who will be playing a fisherman,
with a slight grey beard and dressed in fisherman clothes, named George.
He will be played by my dad, who is a good representation to the character I have described.
I have chosen my dad to play this role, as not only does he fit the character description, I feel
as if the attack scene with him falling into the lake is perfect for him to act, as he is confident
and definitely excited to play this role.
It also means that as the director of the filming process, I will be able to tell him easily exactly
what I want and what I am looking for. It also means that he is easily accessible as I know his
schedule and easy to book in a day when he is free, without having to negotiate with other
actors. It also means I do not have to pay any actors, therefore keeping in with my budget as
I am spending the money leftover from this for props.
To have my dad as an actor also means that my home where we both live will be able to be
used, which I think is an ideal setting for the home shots.

9. CAST AND CREW
2.
The other characters I will be using is the Wife of George, who will be played by my mum,
therefore the relationship between my two parents will be easy to relate to the relationship
within my film, as they’re playing the same roles.
In my opinion, this is exactly who I imagined to play the wife of George, not only from the
description, but the quieter and therefore more mysterious vibe the audience will gain from
her within the film when speaking to George, especially at the end of the film.
Once again, it means that she will be easily accessible as I know her schedule and easy to
book in a day when she is free, without having to negotiate with other actresses.
It also means I do not have to pay any actresses, therefore keeping in with my budget as I
am spending the money left over from this for props.
To have my mum as an actress also means that my home where we both live will be able to
be used, which I think is an ideal setting for the home shots.

10. CAST AND CREW
3.
The other character that will be shown in my film is a Police officer. He will be played by a
friend, and is also an adult male.
I have chosen this person because he is able to take directions easily, and as a director I
have taken this into account.
He also speaks clearly and confidently, therefore perfect as a role in authority for this part of
the film.
I will not need to pay him as an actor, as he is doing this off good will, therefore my cast and
crew do not affect my budget.
