Even though we have a specific age category for our film, it is oblivious to know that people in society won't follow it, meaning that some people below and maybe the majority above will more than likely watch it . We know that ere will be people from a range of different backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles, incomes and levels of education. Potentially our audience is mainly going to be from a high level of education as we understand that generally the higher educated are mainly more mature and will process the meaning of our film and the seriousness of it . Personally we don't think our film is for a serious film goer who goes to film festivals and occasionally the art-house theatre as it's a really serious matter that occurs frequently in society life today.

Our tagline will be : Will she ever return?

We have chosen this tagline purely to put the audience in suspense and to leave them with the rhetorical question, this creates a red herring and a narrative enigma, and this could build up more tension for the film itself let alone the topic.

A what if ?

What if a murderer escaped prison and he ran to Pilsley through Tupton where he becomes quite manipulative and can persuade people to follow and do things for him, then suddenly a survivor or an escape has reported his crimes and caution has been taken.

The story synopsis: Receiving nasty threats, all on oovoo talking about the stranger who is messaging her . I meet a random male and then out of no where a man drives up to me in a van . The male pushes me and mugs me . I get kidnapped.

Visual Realisation: We know of many different films that have explored the territory of the psychological thriller 'Lovely bones'. This is where we get our main ideas from as it involves kidnapping .  However ours won't take be situated around a school, as we will be situating ours in many different places such as Pilsley, the 5 pits trail, a van , etc.

The reason we chose this specific topic for our film is for many reasons one of them being that it is incredibly important that we get across to civilians in society that messaging/meeting people is very dangerous in real life today . We chose to do this as a film rather than a TV series because I feel like there are many TV dramas in this period and some previous, illustrating the point we are trying to tell everyone but attempting mix it up a little . Even though this particular matter is always reiterated by many different film production companies and TV dramas, but we feel that by young children creating and thinking o this serious matter shows that potentially even though the younger generation don't show any interest in the subject, it doesn't mean they don't take into account the seriousness of the situation.
