Fantasy Film Making Part 1

I had worked with Ebun, in the Fantasy Film Making Challenge.

We had to pick out a bag, so that it made it fair fr everyone, so it was random.

Firstly, we had to pick out a production company. Ours was Hollywood Filx. This is a major Hollywood production. Its was a bonus for Ebun and I as we knew that our budget would have quite large. Then we had to pick out the budget from a bag, again so that it was random and fair. Luckily Ebun and I got a huge budget of £40 million. Which we was both happy about. This was the largest budget in out class. Then we had to pick a scenario. At fist we got a Charles Dickens, The Christmas Carol, which we had to re-create.

But me and Ebun knew nothing about it and so got to pick another. Our final scenario was a sci-fi. We had to make up a film, based on the storyline of aliens coming and taking over, it had to have an element of Britain in it.

Synopsis

The synopsis of the story Ebun and I came up with was about 5 university students. 5 university students, go on a boat trip to the middle of the sea. 2 of the students decide on go for a dive in the clear waters. They find a black hole at the bottom of the sea. Both the students are fascinated and go closer, where they get sucked in. After about 5 minutes the friends begin to worry that they haven't seen the other 2 come up for air, and have been down there for a long period of time. One of the friends on the boat dives in to investigate. He sees one of their goggles on the sea bad and goes to pick it up, but also gets sucked in. The 2 friends on the boat go and get the coastguards, where they all discover this mysterious black hole.

The coastguards block off the area, so that they can investigate. But soon too many people start to gather around trying to look what's going on, and they find that the black hole sucks itself in, and suddenly disappears. two hours later, when the coastguards are still around securing the area. The ground starts to shake radically. The black hole re-opens and the whole sea is sucked in as well as the coastguards and their boats. The alien eggs start to explode out the black hole and over night they begin to hatch and develop. The rest of the population do not know what is going on and still in for a surprise when they wake up in the morning. The aliens are in search for the Queen, and try take over Britain.

My film represents Britain, as the aliens try and take over from the Queen. And only try and rule Britain, not the whole world.

Location/Sets

There will be two in a fantasy place, which costs £1 million each. One will

be out in the middle of the sea. Where the uni students will be on their boat out on the sea. The other will be the alien world under the sea. It will be showed when the three students get sucked in the black hole, into the alien world.

Another location will be in Central London, this costs £1 million. It will show Buckingham palace. This is where the aliens try break in and kidnap the Queen.

Another will be a location outside London. This costs, £100,000. It will be the coasts of the UK. Aliens explode out at sea, they hatched and work their way inwards from the coasts of Britain in to Central London.

International. This will be used in the middle of the film. Beyonce will make up the lyrics and beat. This will cost £100,000.

Target Audience

Age range- The age range for my target audience will be around 16-35. This is because the actors in my film are quite young, and will be known well by this age range. Appealing to them more. Take Daniel Radcliffe and Ricky Whittle, who plays Calvin from Hollyoaks, for example, they will appeal to the teenage/young adults as they are young themselves. It may also appeal to the older generation, because it has Helen Mirren playing the Queen.

Gender- My film will appeal to both female and male. Jessica Alba and Megan Fox, will appeal to the males because of their sex appeal. Ricky Whittle will appeal to the females along with Daniel Radcliffe because of their sex appeal. So overall it will attract a wide range of both males and females.

Interests- The audience will be interested in things which are non-fictional. More sci-fi. As it has no realistic elements.

Ethnicity and Location- It will appeal to any one in any location, but maybe more to the people who live closer to the coast, and in the heart of Britain. Only appeal to people who live in Britain, and will appeal more to people who are English, as it features the Queen.
