Research

There are many films that are similar to mine but one of the many that is most similar is the 2011 film GONE.
This film shares similarities such as type of erie soundtrack and the type of characters that are portrayed in my film .


My film is about a girl who has witnessed a hostage and is now being hunted down for it.In the other film GONE, the character is similar because of the way they fit well into the movie.The way the characters are in my film all determine the way the film is viewed by the audience and my characters have an erie more silent persona to them. 

I added this effect because i wanted the film to have the affect of making people on the edge of their seat and so i felt that by looking at the other film trailer (GONE) i got a lot of ideas from how i could manage to make the characters feel more interesting without them actually appearing obvious .

This movie is about a girl has had her sister kidnapped and found again, but years later the kidnapper comes back for her and finds her sister.This girl races against time to try and track down this kidnapper and not get caught herself.This film gave me a great deal of inspiration as it captures the very essence of thrillers and how they should make the audience feel.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

production/distribution : In the UK thriller movies would usually be distribution by companies such as metrodome.

This media institution would produce my film because it usually distributes in that type of film genre and it also works with low budget films this  would great for my film as it quiet small.

Different types of films like mine are

This is similiar to my film as it is a thriller and its a low budget .

This company (metrodome ) works with unknown films which puts me to an advantage .
My media product isjust starting off and so it is more likely to be distributed by a compaythat is known to distribute small low budget films such as mine.

@Hostagefilm

 this is the twitter name for my production film .^
i have chosen this website because it more popular and more likely to be noticed .

Actresses of my film HOSTAGE

 This character is Orina Blake and she is played by Samira Ismail

This is the character Cassie Staleman and she is played by Selena Osmani

This film was originally for practice and i found that i had learnt a lot in terms of camera usage and creativity this is the first actual shot that i have of my movie before the actual one ...Hostage .
this was a very challenging task because i had to look at my film in a more critical way .I had to ask myself ' how would the audience will perceive the film?' , ' what sort of genre am i aiming  for ?'.
Further more i think that there has been a lot difference in the two films that i have published 'hostage' and 'second guessing hell' , the purpose of posting the two films  was to  distinguish the difference between the changes made and the improvements between the two movies.


More over, i believe that while working on the film, i have changed the story line several times and have manage to re-shoot more than several times as well. However this was only a fraction of what actual film production is about i had barely stepped into the that sort of dedication needed.

HOSTAGE

Research

FILM the same as mine  :  taken is an action thriller about a former central intelligence Agency (CIA) who sets out to track down his daughter after she is kidnapped while travelling in france .
My film mainly focuses on the kidnapping of many different girls all over the country and only one of the escapes to find that they are tracking her down .The main character is Orina Blake and she is on the run to save her life and everything she knows .

IAf

This director is similiar to my film idea because he projects the genre mystery and tension into his films which create the audience to be aching to know whats next ,this the main aim for my short film as well

My film is about a girl called Orina Blake, she has witnessed a kidnapper taking someone she once knew and she has become a witness.She has been running for 1 month to escape being a hostage herself but she soon finds herself lost in confusion...should she carry on running or fight what is going to become her fate .

This film is very similar to mine because it concentrates  on the fact that a girl has been kidnapped and is trying to catch the kidnapper.the fear of the situation gets the better of my character however she soon seeks professional help from FBI agents who are very skilled in this area.

storyboard

On the first scene : (Selena) the actress is going to be running from something her kidnapper and she will be scared and terrified. Then i show a clip of her tied up and screaming for help but no one arrives .the screen then fades to black .

On scene two : The actress is is sitting down in her desk trying to study but she finds it difficult, there are flashes of memories from 2 months ago, when the kidnapping happened but she can't seem to let go and forget .She then heads off into the forest where it happened, she touches the tree where she was tied but then she closes her eyes and remembers and shakes her head ,and runs away because it becomes overwhelming- the iconic thing she says at the end is 'i wonder sometimes, what it would be like to be somebody else, and not the girl who got kidnapped, memories are everywhere , but if i could be someone else , that wouldn't be the glitch of my story. she walks off and all we see is a newspaper of her picture and a story line of her being kidnapped , january 12 2012 

character information

Orina is a very quiet charcater, through out the film we view that she likes to take up activities like swimming (were she then hears voices) this is were her insanity progress.She is an a good student at school however throughout the film we see that she doesn't really see the point in sitting in a class and learning unuseful things so she goes off quiet often to do her own thing .This makes her very different to most charcaters in films because the girl is usually an A* student however i thought by setting aside some differences it would make it more realistic to viewers .Also the charcter dresses very laid back and easy and doesn't try to fit in at her highschool as she doesn't take much notice of what others think, also upon persuing her alter ego ,which happens later on in the film she becomes a writer for the seattle times .This has always been her dream but the fact that she is actually going in thw rong direction for it, will prove to be very dangerous for her as the kidnapper finds her again after she acidently published a newspaper in her real name and not alter ego, she finds herself in a position were the lying game isn't working very well for her , and her fairtale world of pretend shatters to pieces .
