3. • Originality- My movie looks at how Zara’s eyesight (a physical defect). Has lead her into
an unfortunate situation and not many other movies explore this.

found on Netflix.

length feature film.

Target Audience- The primary target audience for my movie are 17-27 year olds of socio
economic class e to c. This is because the movie has mature themes such as domestic
abuse and stalking, as well as a complex story line that only those within my target
audience age range and above may understand.

18. Post- Production
• Development: I would like the movie to be turned into a full length feature film in
the future. It would also be good to develop some of my other ideas and develop a
thriller series that could be shown on Netflix.
• Screening and Distribution: I would originally like to air my short movie on
Channel 4 at 7 pm. Then in the future id like to take it to Netflix or other video
streaming sites.
• Legal and Ethical: Its important that my movie follows the laws that come with
movie production. To avoid breaking the copyright lawsuit its important that I
make sure not to put anything that is owned by others.
