GenreSci-Fi : the genre would become clear further on into the film but from the opening sequence with the scientist the film is hinting at it becoming a Science Fiction film.

Themes• Sci-fi – the whole film will involve science fiction. The film

will go above the laws of science• Time travel – will be the main theme of the film. It will

be involved in every sequence of the butlers memory• Regret – everyone has regrets which people would like to

go back and change. This theme will allow people to show that some regrets are meant to happen to go on with life.

• Changing your past to improve your future – when the butler travels to his past he will realize he will have the opportunity to change events so he can have a better future.

• Struggle – the butler has struggled with his life since he was a little child and never appreciated what he had.

Films message• Don’t try and change past, don’t get

stuck in your past you will never get out of it

Target AudienceThe audience were are targeting

our film towards are Old Age Pensioners. As our film is Science fiction, we struggled to come up with a story line for out film that

would attract the old aged pensioners. After a lot of

thought, we recognized that the film would engage elder people

more if we embedded a message into it, hence the moral being the past is the past and everything

happens for a reason, everything that has happened in your life makes you the person you are

today.

The main character in our film is an elderly man played by Robert

De Niro which is a well known name in the film industry and as he is older our target audience

could relate to him and potential relate to the character.

Opening sequence…The opening sequence follows the butler in his odd jobs before the scientist wakes, with narrative talking about his work, saying how long he has worked there, how the scientist annoys him (so the audience know to hate the scientist) etc until the scientist comes in bragging of his work and reminding the butler never to go in “the room”.

Does it introduce the characters…

The main protagonist (the butler) would be immediately introduced and then so would the scientist afterwards.

• What is the style – a cinematic style with artsy filming like in Tree of Life but still folowing the story of a character and the inner message.

• What is the mood – The mood of the film will change from the opening sequence, at the beginning the mood will be cold and dark shown by the lighting and film look ( colours faded or darker) but once the butler travels back in time to a happy past with higher saturation of colours and warm lighting.

• Is it interesting/engaging idea – Any film following someone's story is engaging because the audience will wonder what is going to happen next and will be hooked because of this.
