Star trek in relate to my film

•Does the film have an exploitable theme?

         My film genre of comedy will atract my target audience well and will be able to attract many others from outside the target audience.

•Is the cast/director of interest?

         Just like the film Startrek my film has a high count of blockbuster stars, this will also help to attract the audience and exite the public about the film.

• Is it a genre movie?

         Stratrek has its own individual genre of sci-fi and my film has a genre of romantic comedy.

• Will reviews matter?

          The film Startrk had many high rated views from both the public and from critics and studies show that this helped ring in people from outside the target audience, i think that by having a common genre it wouldn't matter as much as to wether or not the reviews were high however a good review would make the audience numbers higher.

 

•WHAT-  The genre of my film is comedy, and i have chosen the sub genre of romance, i have chosen these as i believe they are high rated genres and would relate to both my target audience and others aswell.There are many similar types of films in this catagorie however i will asure that my film is unique and does not have a storyline that is to much like other past films that have been made in my genre. My film will be a mainstream film but will be shown in other cinamas no just like Startrek.

•WHO – My target audience is females between the age of 15-25, i have chosen this range because i believe that it is the audience that would mainly go to the cinema and would be most likely to see a romantic comedy, the age that i have used here is similar to the age that is linked to startrek.

•WHEN – The film will be released in summer 2013, i have chosen summer because this is usually around the time that students will be off school/collage and both young adults and adults will have more time to see a film, The marketing will start 2 months prier to the film release.

•HOW – The film would be advertised similar to Startrek, Startrek used billardboards and tv/ radio/ cinema dvertisments to promote the films, they also used press junkets and celebrity interviews. My film will use all of the above to promote the film aswell as using social media such as facebook and twitter, by using these we will increase the audience amounts as most 15-25year olds use these routinley.

COMEDY FILM

MY FILM

•My intentions are to make a film that fits in the genre of comedy.

•My film will have a sub genre of romance and will be set for the target audience of 15 +.

•The reason I think this will be a reasonable target audience is because at the age of 15 there is more content that you may add into the film and there are less restrictions.

 

WHAT IS THE GENRE ?

 

•My chosen genre is Comedy, I have chosen this because comedy has a large audience and can be relaxing to watch with family or friends. Comedy films are one of the highest rated film genres in the world.

•Although many people do like comedy’s the disadvantages may be that many find that comedy films are to alike and all have similar storylines, I would aim to create a story line that is yet to be discovered.

 

WHO ARE THE AUDIENCE ?

 

 •My target audience is the age 15 + I have chosen this age because it is the age that most start to get into films, another reason I have chosen this age is that there are less restrictions and the range of comedy can stretch to a further point.

•I chose 15 + and not older like 18+ because 15 + is the age that people use cinema’s to arrange activities with friends as they are restricted on where they can go as a group at this age.

 

WHEN WILL THE FILM BE RELEASED ? WHY ?

 

 •The film would be released around summer (July/ August ) this is because at this time of the year school pupils and students are of school/college and have time to meet up with friends/family and go somewhere relaxing like the cinema.

•Statistics show that around July and August in 2008, 81% of people said that the thing they were looking forward to the most was cinema going, and in summer 2010 more people went to the cinema than they went to places such as theme parks.

 

HOW MANY PRINTS WILL BE MADE ?

 •The film ‘Grown ups’ was released in 3534 cinemas in 39 different countries and was number 1 in the UK in their 2nd week.

•My film would be released in all mainstream cinema’s in the UK and would expand to other countries after 1 or 2 weeks.

 

WHAT TYPE OF CINEMA'S WILL IT BE RELEASED IN ? WHY ?

 I would release my film in a mainstream cinema because by doing this it would be open to a larger audience than if I released it into an independent cinema.

Independent cinemas have an average audience of 5.8 million per year where as mainstream cinemas have an average audience of 50 million per year.

 

 •The following information that you are about to see shows the box office details of 4 high rated romantic comedy’s, my aim is to use the details to make my film as successful as these 4 films were.
