Synopsis
The male central character is a family man that puts family first in everything he ever does. They are a typical middle class family. That is until him and his family are tied up and set alight a dreadful arsonist attack that has left him scared and his family dead. He sets out to take revenge on the people that caused his families death but uncovers more than he bargained for; death, money and betrayal opening his eyes to the company he worked for. He takes the law into his own hands bringing down the company one person at a time.
Opening Sequence
There is a close up of the central characters face, which slowly starts to zoom out as he starts to recall the events that had previously happened. Flashbacks start as him and his family are tied up in the middle of a room. It then goes back to the present where the camera has zoomed out even more and he keeps talking about the events. The second flashback shows close ups of each family member and their struggle, moving back yet again to reveal more of the characters face. The third sequence involves petrol being thrown over the family by someone with an unknown identity, moving back again to reveal more of his face. The fourth and final flashback involves a match getting lit. The next part is up to the audience’s imagination. The camera continues to zoom out and finishes to reveal the fathers face burnt and scared. He then gets up puts a clip in a gun and loads it, there is a close up of the gun through this process, it then cuts to titles with the dramatic soundtrack.
Target Audience Appeal
I would give this move a 15 Certificate as from a business point of view you would get more viewers. This would also allow me to show violence even though it is only hinted through the opening sequence, it could be shown through the rest of the movie, an 18 Certificate would allow me to show more graphic violence but I don’t think that it is needed in this movie. Sometimes the imagination is scarier than what we see and reality, this means that I could just hint at the violence and the audience can make it as graphic as they want in their heads. If I looked at it through a whole movie perspective it would allow me to show more graphic scenes and make it appeal to a more adult audience but also allow me to keep the older teens in the target audience.
Creative Techniques
There will be a variety of camera angles and shots such as close-ups of props and faces, this gives the audience a sense of how the character is feeling and the close-up on the gun shows a sense of danger and creates suspense. The main character will be centrally framed starting with an extreme close up of his mouth, which gradually zooms out to reveal a close-up of the characters face to show the burns and scars left from the fire. There are also shots of the room and surroundings. There will be narration over the top of everything but there will be the screams and panic of the family on a low volume so you can faintly here it. It will also then go into a dramatic soundtrack into the titles. The lighting will be natural in the zooming scenes from a window behind the character, where as the arsonist scene will be dark with limited light. I will use effects to give the footage a more cinematic feel, which makes the movie itself look more polished and professional.
Assessment 3: Target Audience Research
Assessment 3: Target Audience Research
Discrimination
The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualized.
Imitable behavior
Dangerous behavior (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail, which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorized.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language. The strongest terms may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behavior, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.
Violence
Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualized violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.

Assessment 2: Analysis Of An Opening Scene
(I Do Not Own The Rights To This Movie)
I Have Chosen To Analys Rob Zombies Remake Of Halloween, The Clip Is Shown Above.
The opening scene to Rob Zombies remake of Halloween starts by showing you the background story of what happened to Michael as a child where everything began. The scene is set in the kitchen of the families home, which is unclean, scruffy, and in very bad condition, which shows that the family has a little amount of money. You know the scene is set in the morning time as the family is going to eat breakfast through the use of props we can gather the time of day and the way the family live. However before we get to the kitchen we see a young Michael playing with what looks like a pet rat, this comes in a few minutes later. As the daughter comes down stairs she starts an argument with her mother and gets sent to bring Michael downstairs to eat, her mothers boyfriend makes a perverted comment about her daughter and the mother reacts, this is when we are taken into the bathroom where Michael is washing his hands and a blade that we realize he has used to kill his rat from earlier. This scene is what starts the rest of the movie as he moves from the rat onto bigger things, in the scene we do not see the event take place but we do see the aftermath. Michael continues downstairs and tells his mother that his pet died again. The relationship between Michael and his mother’s boyfriend Ronnie is a bad one that continues through the rest of the movie, we can see this because of the way they look and speak to each other. It is mostly Ronnie being horrible to Michael because he finds he has authority over him, where as his mother is shown to be protective of him. The scene introduces the main character and his first killing (even if it is just his pet rat).
