After looking at the BBFC age rating reasons we can safely say that the movie is a 15 age rating movie. This is because our full movie will contain: Threat, violence, and drugs. All of which are allowed in a 15 rating movie and as a result, this is fine for our movie.

Script for the movie - P3.
Most of our script in the opening was improvised. We usually planned out what to say, but not precisely. For example there's a scene where two friends ask where the character at the start is (the one that dies) we just said to have a small conversation and change it to if they've seen the character. As a result, the entire opening is improvised.

Justification and distribution and marketing methods - M1.
Marketing Methods.
We plan to market the movie by social media. This would be to attract our target audience because most stereotypical users of social media are the younger generation. This allows us to target teens and young adults to a better efficiency. I also being this would be great because we won't have to pay for this form of marketing. Social media is free and therefore, we will find this job to be easy without any struggles. We will most likely choose Twitter as our social media. The idea of only 280 characters means we can limit the important things to say about our movie. No one wants to see paragraphs upon paragraphs of reading for one movie that's not even out. Therefore, we can advertise it perfectly here. Plus Twitter is massive to teenagers and young adults.
Distribution.
We plan to distribute the movie on Netflix, this is because it's a massive streaming service that thousands or even millions of people use. This is great because it gets our movie out there and as a result, we can get our movie better known to the public. Netflix also has a large amount of horror movies in their directory along with HBO. This means that we would get the movie out to the public efficiently. Also, Netflix is predominantly used my teenagers and young adults so this is perfect for us. We will gain revenue from being streamed on Netflix, this is by leasing the movie from the studio. They pay a specific amount to the company to have the movie for a specific amount of time. This is shown from this link:

Justification.
We decided to make the movie based in an asylum, this makes the movie different to most current movies. This brings back the old horror movie stereotype and therefore, makes our movie stand out. It also allows us to make the movie with a different dynamic and therefore, makes the movie interesting. Since barely any movies are based in asylums, the movie will therefore stand out and as a result, our movie will get a large amount of publicity. We also made the movie contain a large amount of paranormal and strange happenings such as these spirits that are haunting the character in the opening. This makes it so the movie is different to what normal movies are these days.

Client considerations - D1.
Following our pitch and the questions that were asked, it became apparent that we must talk about funding and what the funding is needed for in our Treatment. This is so the client is able to understand why the funding is needed.
We also realised that we should go more in depth about our target audiences and explain why they are our target audience, this is so the client is aware that the movie is targeting 15 year olds and above of all genders. This is so we have a target of who we wish to advertise this movie to, generally teenagers to young adults. This is simple as it will help us develop a better understanding of how to target this audience in advertising and because it may help us with demographics too.
Firstly to improve our treatment, we must improve the information that's on it, this will be done by adding extra headings for the funding and the target audience. This will help because I can then talk about both topics without any problems.
I also realise that we never covered a storyboard in our posts, therefore I believe we should add one to better describe what is happening in our story. This as a result, will show what is happening and when it happens to depict the scenes in a better method. This allows our story to be followed in a better way without any problems.
To better understand the reason for funding and show why we want the funding I believe we will research highly funded and low funded movies, this is like how Get Out had a budget of 4.5 million dollars, whereas The Conjuring has 20 million dollars, these differences show us how much editing and pay for actors and actresses is needed along with the pay for props and much more.
