PLANNING: DEVELOPMENT OF TREATMENT
FINAL VERSION OF TREATMENT
FIRST VERSION OF TREATMENT
- Title: THE HK PAPERS (working title)
- We reviewed our treatment as we wanted to make the subject matter more dramatic and topical. Newspapers are currently full of the unfolding story of the Coronavirus drama which has offered us a rich source of the material.
- Our cast is now bigger and we will be bringing in footage taken from overseas but despite the more ambitious scope, we believe we have an achievable and much more visually rich text.
- Title: DIA (Death in Action
- Logline: A powerful one or two-sentence statement of the idea being proposed (about 25 words).
- Synopsis: The agent is a UK MI5 personnel who has died in action and the film opens with the last person standing near the graveyard paying last respects. A movement behind a tree suggests that someone is watching him. As he peers closely, they disappear. back at the office, the death certificate and post mortem details don't add up.when he phones to ask about the autopsy, there are clearly discrepancies in the reports.The rookie has to investigate his death and in the process he discovers...?Cross cutting at the end to old times with him like laughing with his buddy and he asks whats on your mind for him to respond oh its just something at the office and flashes back so he puts the clues together.
- Characters:
- Rookie Agent: Agent who is required to uncover secrets relative to an agents death.
- Autopsy Scientist: Scientist who explains that there is no longer access to the body.
- MI5 Executive: Gives brief of mission to be completed.
- The Agent: On hiding throughout the whole movie. Using death as an escape from the role.

PLANNING: MY TARGET AUDIENCE
I needed to plan on how to reach my target audience. I also needed to know who they were. I had to research age, gender, ethnicity, and social class. I also needed to research what their media needs were so that I could produce a product that they will want. Finally, in order to market our movie, I had to know how to reach them. I will show how my research has influenced my planning by answering the question below along with pictures to help support my answers.
1. Who is my primary target audience?
My target audience is within the age bracket of 15-35. It will appeal to both genders but predominantly male.
2. What kind of films and television are they likely to prefer?
Baby Driver
Skyfall
Kingsman
3. What platforms do they choose to watch films and where are they likely to see information about films?
Everyman, ODEON, Netflix, DVD, SKY
Information is generally received through friends or family suggesting which film I would like. Also listening to film critic experts such as Mark Kermode who suggests films that are high on quality and entertainment.
4. What brands do they prefer?
Brand examples: McDonald's, KFC, Apple, Santander, Google, Netflix, Spotify, Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat, Amazon, Xbox, Playstation Pizza Express, Ray-ban, Northface, IKEA, Everyman, Wagammas, Twitter.
Preferred brands seem to be trendy fashion brands such as Adidas, Nike, and others. These certain brands almost act as the default for this age group and will help me when finalising my plan for my film opening.
5. What makes my film stand out from the competition?
One way in which I will make my film stand out from the copetition will be to make it relate to present issues. This will be shown when one of the characters discovers something he shouldn't have, this will be the source of the present issue.
6. Why should my audience watch my film?
