The Lost OnesBY: NATHAN, JAMES, MELANIE AND TOM.

The Plot

A husband and wife go on a business trip to Amsterdam. The wife has to leave early on a flight which later goes missing and is suspected to have crashed.

A month later the husband receives a call from his wife which shows on caller ID. He answers the phone and there is a loud noise and the call ends.

Whilst the husband is with his new girlfriend he gets another call from the wife she says just one word and the call ends. This happens continuously every week at the exact time the flight was reported missing.

Why did we chose this title?

We chose the title “The Lost Ones – 227” as it is mysterious and exciting which would draw our target audience in. It could lead to people thinking:•Who are the lost ones? •Why are they lost?

The “227” links to the recent Malaysian lost plane. As it has been in the news a lot it could also lure in our target audience.

Characters and why we’ve chosen them

Husband played by: Christian Bale

We chose him because he is instantly recognisable and would create lot of interest.

Wife played by: Monica Potter

We chose her as she has played in many horror films before such as Saw.

How are we going to create interest

The cast has many stars which reaches out to many different people. The storyline has never been done before and will have lots of interest from the news coverage of MH17.We made it a 15 certificate film which limits how horrifying we can make it but means we have a much larger target audience.

What will the narrative be?

Storyline: A husband receives calls from the wife he thought died in plane crash which leads to him going insane.

Settings:Set in modern day in Amsterdam mainly filmed inside, at night, with low key lighting to match the genre of horror.

Themes:Insanity, torture and nightmares.

Film marketingWe are hoping to hold a online premiere for the film which people can pay for and have it streamed to their smart T.V or computer.

For advertising we want billboards in the U.K and the U.S in places like London, New York and Hollywood. This meets our target audience as they are film loving cities.
