2. Equilibrium
• The audience will see a funeral taking place, it will be a father that has died, the family go on holiday in
Canada.
• The sons goes to look around the area and he is gone for more than two hours.
Disruption
• The mum goes out to look for him. They can’t continue as they have found a forest fire, there is no
siting's of the boy named Morgan.
• Missing posters are put up, they find six small bones but they have no fire damage on them.
• The fathers twin brother dug them up from another child's grave to make it look like Morgan died.
• At this point, the audience don’t know where the bones have come from and don’t know of the twin
brother.
• Rose sees a picture of Morgan and a man who she believes is her husband. They go to the fair straight
away because that is where the picture was taken.
Resolution
• The man in the newspaper doesn’t have a scar under his eye like her husband does.
• Calls the police and asks them to see if her husband really did die, during their searches they find a man
that looks similar to her husband and who has the same birthday.
• Eventually track the twin brother down and take him to the police station to be questioned. The film
ends with the audience seeing the twin brother being questioned but you won’t hear his response.
Meaning there is no resolution to the story.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR FILM,
USING TODOROV’S THEORY.

3. The genre of our film is a mix of crime, psychological and mystery. We also
researched the film Prisoners and we were influenced by this film because it
was a similar genre to ours. The elements that we looked at in Prisoners was
the way certain characters were presented and the way the story line was done.
This film was well written and the audience didn’t know what was going to
happen throughout and we wanted to add that suspense and tension to our
film as well. We looked at the title sequence for Taken and we researched the
film. We also wanted to look at this film because it revolved around someone
going missing and a murder and we wanted to include these elements in our
film.
THE GENRE OF OUR FILM AND WHAT
OTHER TITLE SEQUENCES WE
LOOKED AT WHICH ARE OF A SIMILAR
GENRE.

4. TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OUR
FILM
The target audience for our film is people 15 and over. We wanted to target an audience like
this because they would appreciate the whole concept of the film and also some of the
footage that appears in the film would be too graphic for people under 15. Also people under
15 wouldn’t understand the story line of the film and may get confused with what is going on.
People at this age are most likely to watch these sort of films as they are interested in these
topics and its issues that are happening in everyday life.

5. WHO WILL STAR AND DIRECT
THE FILM?
• Paul Dano is going to star in our film as the twin brother and he is the brother of the
husband that has died.
• Courtney Cox is going to star in our film as the wife and she has lost her son and her
husband in the film which makes her a widow. In the film she is trying to get her son back.
• Leonardo DiCaprio is going to star in our film as the main police officer/detective. He has
no relation to any of the characters. He is just called to the scene when the forest fire starts.
• We have chosen to pick James Wan to direct our film as he is best known for directing some
of the best thrillers and horrors such as The Conjuring and Insidious.

6. HOW MUCH MONEY WILL THE FILM
COST AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE
INTEND OUR FILM TO MAKE AND
WHY? WHICH FILM COMPANY WE
WANT TO PRODUCE OUR FILM.
Our film is going to cost 50million pounds too make and produce. This is because we are going
to have Leonardo DiCaprio star in our film as the man police officer/detective. Our film is also
going to have a high budget because of all the props that we are going to use. We intend for our
film to make 70-75million pounds overall because of the stars that are in our film. Also the genre
of our film is very popular amongst the public and we have selected a good target audience for
our film. We want momentum pictures to produce our film as they are based in England but they
have also produced American films like Sinister and Insidious which are similar to our genre of
film.

7. We would want to release our film between September and October of this
year because we looked at Prisoners which is a similar genre to our film and
we researched into the film and saw that they made more money than their
budget on both UK and USA opening weekends. We don’t want to release it
on Halloween as it isn’t a horror and there would be other scary films that
would be in competition with our film. During the film, the family just come
back from their holiday which was in the summer which is why we chose to
release the film after the holiday as it reflected the time period that our film is
set in.
