Location Report

Location Report

The location used is at one of our houses. This is because the film beginning is based on the morning after a house party. The location is easily accessible and there was no permission needed. We used this particular house for the layout structure, and the Jacuzzi for the dead body. Our opening scene was filmed in the living room, the upstairs hall way, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the outside garden which includes the Jacuzzi.
Our film starts off by entering the living room. The camera is then transported around the characters and the room. The camera then goes on to film upstairs. You see the top of the stairs, and goes towards the bathroom. Again the camera goes around all the characters, and then heads back towards the stairs. The camera faces down stairs to give the assumption that they are heading that way. The camera then enters the kitchen and wonders around more actors. It then heads towards the back door. After opening the back door the camera goes outside towards the Jacuzzi. Heading towards the Jacuzzi, we see the scenery around them. The camera then reaches the Jacuzzi, sees the body, and ends.

Target Audience/ certificate of film

Target audience for the crime genre

I believe that the crime genre is generally stereotyped as being aimed at men, especially as typical crime films involve things such as sex, violence cars and usually the main character is male and the female is portrayed as the wife or girlfriend who stays at home more of an object than an a main character, for example films such as Public Enemies or Die Hard, which therefore tells us that crime films are being aimed at the male gender. The media says that women generally prefer typical chick flicks such as Legally Blonde or The Notebook because there is a typical love story between two characters, which most women are supposed to enjoy. which I don’t necessary think is always the case I think crime films can appeal to any type of gender I think it’s all about opinion and what you enjoy for example I enjoy most types of film I enjoy Crime films and Chick Flicks.

I think the age of the audience who watch crime films is from 15 and above because most crime films are 15 or 18 certificates therefore this tells us that they are aimed at a more mature audience due to the content of most crime films. A quote from the Office for national statistics website says that “ young people aged 15 to 24 are the most likely age group to go to the cinema, in 2002. 50 per cent of this age group reported that they went to the cinema once a month of more in Great Britain compared with the 17 per cent of over 35 year old”. This tells us that 15- 14 year olds are the most likely to go to the cinema which tells us that the big budget films that are brought out at the cinema are aimed at this age group because these are the people who are going to go watch it at the cinema.

Certificate of our film

The certificate of our film, is rated ‘15’ we can justify this because the themes included in our film meet the rated ‘15’ guidelines for example; our movie includes scenes of violence however they are not strong scenes of violence there is no extreme gore or sexualized violence, however the use of strong language and slight nudity are used in our film but it is not used overly frequent and it doesn’t contain the strongest terms of language and full frontal nudity is not seen in our film. Also due to our complex chosen storyline, you would need to be at least 15 years old to be able to understand and follow the plotline of our film, therefore we have concluded that our film fits into the rated ‘15’ certificate.

Plot of film

The plot of our film
Our film fits in to the serial killer/ investigation type of crime film, as throughout the film it is involves the police investigating who the killer was and what his/ hers motives were.
Such codes and conventions from our film such as drugs and the fact of owing money to a drug dealer type character that is common to many crime films. Also the fact that this was not the only murder that had taken place, due to the drug dealer not getting his money meaning several other people got murdered by the drug dealer which is the link that puts our film into the serial killer/ investigation type of crime film.


To summarize the plot of our film, it’s a “who done it film”,
Due to the fact of an innocent teenage house party going wrong and a friend of the party’s host drowning in the outside Jacuzzi. After waking up the following morning after the party to find a dead body lying face down in the Jacuzzi the plot continues were you learn who the killer is and the reason for the murder.
You find out that the murder occurred because Josh; the friend found dead In the Jacuzzi, failed to pay his impressive debt to his angry drug dealer so therefore his drug dealer takes it upon himself to get revenge in the highest terms buy killing him. The rest of the film involves the police investigating who the killer is. Right before we find out who the killer is, we find out that Josh was not the only victim that has been murdered by the drug dealer.
The film is all built on suspense throughout due to the fact of the audience not finding out what actually happened till right at the end of the film.
