This is our research for our film...

1. To Death Do Us
Part
By Gareth, Ellie, Matt and Monique

2. Synopsis
The female protagonist, is in her house making breakfast as she wakes up to
what she thinks will be a casual day in the house. Little does she know, that
today was going to be very unordinary…
The male antagonist is slowly preparing for his busy day, kidnapping the
female protagonist. He’s planned out every move, and what he needs to do to
make sure that everything goes to plan!
Later on in the film, you find out what the link between the 2 characters are,
through a series of flashbacks and events that have happened in the past.
This all leads up to what is happening in the present and the motive for why
he’s kidnapping the female.
Three years before the kidnapping, the male was going to marry the female
however, just before the wedding the female left him at the alter, he never
forgave her and has found out she has remarried and started a new life. He
has gone a bit psycho and wants to make her suffer like she did to him!

4. Films To Compare To
• Taken
• Budget- $25000000
• Target Audience- 16 to 42 year olds and mainly males.
• Production Company-Europa Corpa (which have also helped produce taxi,
transporter, hitman) and M6 Film.
• However we cannot base our production on this film as the budget, actors and
companies are way out of our league. Although we can base our ideas on this film
and our production on Paranormal Activity as their budget was $15000 and their
production company was Blumhouse productions. This means there will be very
little stunts and effects nor famous actors. However their target audience was 22
to 40 year old women. This gives us a choice of who we want our films target
audience to be.
