Reminiscence - Plot

We thought that if our 2 minute short section was to be as successful as it could be then we would need to develop a plotline for a full sized movie so that we know exactly what needs to be achieved in this opening section that we are to produce.

Killer Haunted by siblings death on there birthday, feels anger towards the role parents played in this. After killing own parents develops a taste for murder and decides to punish those he deems to be incompetent parents.
(These ideas will be pursued in the title sequence of the clip)

Every year on the month leading up to the deceased siblings birthday, murders take place on parents with children aged 6-11. The victims body is then adorned with a doll as a reminder of the dead sibling. In order to test the remaining parents love for their child the killer leaves a clue to the childs location.

Latest Killing occurs on the street of a teenage babysitters house, the concerned friends of this teenager proceed to ring them in order to confirm their safety. They then travel to the babysitters house for a houseparty. During the party, the child is left unattended and the killer (a guest at the party) snatches the child and slaughters the majority of the household.

Killer leaves an adress for the survivors to follow if they want the child back, it is revealed that at each location a sacrifice must be made for the next location to be revealed. They must reach the final trial by midnight if the child is to live.

production companies

 universal studios is a huge production company and is one of the oldest production companies in american history, it was founded by Carl Laemmle german jewish immigrant seeking refuge in 1912 and has helped create films for many years. the logo and name both represent a world wide feel to this production company. the planet connotes the colossal size of the company and perhaps the range of how well known they are also as they have produced films all around the world.some of their biggest films include jurassic park 1, 2, 3 and jaws.

once again paramount pictures was found 1912 by hugarian born Adolph Zukar from a small wooden shanty in hollywood to a multi million pound earning production comapany that has also helped produce films for many years. as you can see the main image seems to be the himalayers or some other mountain also with a simular stature. this connotes an iconic image of being colossal in size and massive in the film idustry.some of thier most famous films are the god father (1972) and star trek (1979).

fox studios has been and probably will always be a massive contender in the running for best production company ever. it was founded in 1915 originally by william fox then the comapany as a whole was created in 1933 by  Darryl F. Zanuck, Joseph Schenck, Raymond Griffith and William Goetz.some of thier most popular films include, avatar 2009 and scraped in a whopping $2 billion dollars, star wars 1977 and has a total gross profit of $4.1 billion dollars. as you can now see that 20th Century Fox is a massively sucessful comapny and thats why i belive that it be around for many more years and continue to make great, successful films.

film 4 is classed as a low earning production comapany but as i have found out that this to be actually false.Film 4 was launched in 1998 and this was to be the second channel 4 program after channel 4 itself of course. their most famous film which also earnt perhaps the biggest amount of money into the company would have to be the Inbetweeners movie which racked in a whopping £45,028,695 pounds and for a small company like film 4 this can emphasise thier movement within the film mking industry.

vertigo films is also classed as perhaps a low earning production comapany but has still released many big titles such football factory and its all gone pete tong. vertigo films was created in 2002 by Allan Niblo, James Richardson, Nick Love, Rupert Preston, and Rob Morgan. and unlike most production companies vertigo films states thier current goal whitch is to produce and distribute four films every year.
