1. We chose this name for our film because the film is related to
hacking and codes. We are hoping for our titles to be all in code
font.

2. Visual mood board of similar films
and influences
Above is our visual mood board of films we are influenced by
that we would like to make similar to our film.
A repetitive genre amongst these three films is ‘action/spy.’ We
really like the idea of an intense and challenging story line
where the audience have to do all the thinking and work out
the cleverness of it. We hope to incorporate this in our film, but
perhaps for a younger audience like ourselves and young
adults.

3. Genre = Spy action.
Spy Action is our Genre. This was the genre that
we all felt most confident about and most
wanted to do. With the areas around us we feel
this would be the most suitable for us to film.

4. Conventions.
Music will be fast and upbeat and fast paced.
Lighting will be used to created moods and
feelings. Shots will be fast cut away quickly.

5. Target Audience.
15-18 year old (Young Adults. Our Target
Audience is people our age. This is good because
we would know what we would want to see in a
film and then we can put it into our film.

6. Settings.
London is our main setting. We are going to use
iconic views of London so that the audience will
recognise the iconic places.

A hacker sitting on a train and she hacks into a
government site stealing files that are top
secret. The hacker makes a phone call to
someone telling them they have the files. The
hacker is being followed and watched on the
train by the government. The hacker gets of the
train at the last second to lose the agents that
are following her. Big chase through London and
the hacker escapes.

government files and now she is being followed.
Richard and Max. The Agents: They are just
following orders. They only care about getting

11. Textual analysis
We would like to include a lot of match on action
shots. We will also use freeze-frames to trap the
action into shot while titles come up. Props will not
be common but earpieces will be used to show that
the people are spies. The most heavily featured
prop will be the hackers laptop. Sounds will be used
to build up suspense and mystery. This will help the
overall mood of the opening scene. Fast paced
music will be used when the chase is happening so
that the chase will be thrilling.

12. Representation
• Class: the quality of this film should be really
good. All of the camera shots, editing, sound,
mise en scené elements etc. Should all come
together.

• Ethnicity: this film will be incorporating
different social groups.

13. Institution
• Warner Brothers would produce and
distribute this film as they are extremely
successful, they know exactly what to do and
have all the elements we would need e.g.
Setting, costumes etc. They have an income
of 12 billion pounds.
