Institutions research!

British Film Institute is a charitable organisation established by Royal Charter.
The british film institute is the leading body for film in the UK which includes a role as a lottery distributor, with responsibility for funding film development and production.
The BFI maintains the world's largest film archive, the BFI National Archive, previously called National Film Library (1935–1955), National Film Archive (1955–1992) and National Film and Television Archive (1993–2006). The archive contains more than 50,000 fiction films, over 100,000 non-fiction titles and around 625,000 television programmes. The majority of the collection is British material but it also features internationally significant holdings from around the world. The Archive also collects films which feature key British actors and the work of British directors.
The BFI is currently managed on a day-to-day basis by its director, Amanda Nevill. Supreme decision-making authority rests with a chair and a board of up to 14 governors. The current chair is Greg Dyke, who took office on 1 March 2008.

The Pitch!

My target audience is in the age range of 15 to 19 years, it will be mostly aimed towards a female gender, but there will be aspects involved which will attract males.
My audience tend to watch drama films every 2 weeks and their favourite sub genre is romance and tragedy.

The conventions of a drama film tend be be quite serious and plot driven, they will normally portray realistic characters and stories, they also tend to involve intense character development.

Product idea for the trailer, kayla and i have the idea of where there is a girl (dani) who is in a relationship with a boy (jake), but then she meets someone new (olly), as they get to know each other they start to fall for each other, so she leaves jake to be with olly.
jake then gets angry and jealous and decides to kill olly by hiting him with a car, dani then becomes a wreck and is struggling to cope, so jake confesses what he did, she then gets angry at him and kills him by either stabbing him or shooting him.

For the risk assessment, when driving in the car, need to make sure seat belts are worn and driving is careful and slow. We're also going have a member of staff on sit to supervise while filming the car scenes. There will also be a first aid kit in the car just in case anything does happen.
We're going to use a plastic/rubber one so no-one will actually get stabbed or shot.
When out on the back roads make sure its light so people can see everything thats around. make sure riving slowly, people filming stay off the road.

In feel kayla and i's product will be successful because we are sticking to the conventions of a drama film, we are using everyday situations, but have made it more dramatic and twisted it because we have out murder into it. We are having intense character growth of dani, this is a characteristic of a drama film. She is the main character so we are having her as the character who goes through the most development.

The Pitch!
