Film title: RISE

Genre: Drama-our film will contain elements that resemble our current world and key elements of dystopia that will be key to the plot-line of our film.Films of similar genre: V for Vendetta, Hunger Games, Taken 3

Codes and Conventions of our Genre

Key Stars:Samuel L Jackson,Tom Hardy,Margot Robbie,Nicholas Hoult,We have chosen these actors because they are highly recommended in their field of work and furthermore they each have a significant amount of star power that will add to our films popularity.Our film will be able to reach both American and British audiences because of the array of Actors/ Actresses.

Director:Christopher Nolan

Soundtrack band: Rage against the machine

Actors/ Actresses and Director

Target Audience: Young men between the ages of 18 and 35-this is because the film is gruelling and quite violent with strong language throughout, furthermore our audience analysis suggests that this is the age category that most men will decide or will have children

Release date: Early winter of 2019-many Drama films are brought out during this time and so it is only sensible to conform to this, also we expect our film to take some time to film as it is set in a delicate setting and thus we need time to make sure our film goes smoothly.

Audience and Release Date

Production CompanyOur production studio will be Lions gate studios, a subsidiary to Lions gate entertainment studios, this studio choice will be effective because they have produced key Drama films and blockbusters including V for Vendetta, Hunger Games, and Divergent.

Furthermore these films have been directed by important directors such as Francis Lawrence and Martin Scorsese, therefore our director will be well suited to the studio and further his personal star power will be increased because he has worked at a major studio like Lions gate.

Title sequenceOur title sequence is unique in its representation.Our sequence will mainly focus on setting the scene for the rest of the film and thus will look at the ‘Rise’ from a normal passive society to a dystopian uprising.

We will complete this by placing contrasting scenes within the sequence to create mystery and suspense, the scenes will consist of ‘normal life’ scenes; ‘dystopian life’ scenes; and ‘anti-Government’ scenes.• The normal life scenes will contain simple everyday activities that people do or

see (Walking around shops, taking the bus, pictures of people, etc..)• The dystopian life scenes will contain very run down poor settings with key

iconography within (man smoking, homeless person, drug selling, etc…)• The ‘anti-Government’ scenes will show people preparing weapons and anti-

government posters, this will be the key moment when the heat of the sequence and the films overall plot begins to kicks off.

Budget and RevenueCost to make film: $175 millionOur budget is high because our actors are of a high quality (of their performance) and further our research suggests that other blockbuster films of this genre have similar budgets.The special effects, settings and salaries will all amount to the overall budget as well.

Revenue from the film (Domestic/International): $200 million/$400 million
