Amnesia or Lost however we chose The

17. Our target audience will be 15+ as it will
allow us to connect to a wide audience as the
film we be suitable for teenagers and adults
It’s a 15+ film as it contains violence which
will not be suitable for younger years. There
is a suitable amount of violence that wont
upset an 15year old audience.
18. For our main protagonist
Michael we decided to use
Jake Gyllenhaal as we believe
he will be able to do this role
very convincingly as the main
character is very mysterious
We decided to use Forest
Whitaker as Detective West
because we believe he has a
great appearance for a detective
as he is stereotypical old and
wise and he seems to be
dedicated to what he does
We chose to use James
Franco to play the brother
as he looks like quite a
shifty character which could
indicate that he is a
psychopath
We would love to use Caity
Lotz as we believe she will do
an amazing job as the wife of
the main protagonist because
she looks vulnerable
We would like to use Griffin
Gluck to play the son mainly
based on his appearance as
he appears to be a young
adorable kid
19. We decided to use Bridge
Academy for one of our main
scenes (the detective scene) as
we know there will be a lot of
empty rooms we could use.
We decided to use this house as
it is not on a main road and is
buried in between other houses,
also there is a garden where we
can put the dead families bodies
in.
