Production Company- Clear Vision

We chose clear Vision as our production company, as they are based in the local area where filming takes place. This good for helping support the local economy and makes logistical sense being nearby as well. It will also raise the profile for the film in the local area as well. It is also part of our ethics in giving bad to the local economy as well as area. This is like channel 4 films is an independent film company just like clear vision therefore we would be similar to this.

Soundtrack

Our opening will include both diegetic and non diegetic sound, the diegetic sound will be made by our various surroundings when we are filming, for example cars, car doors, guns clocking and guns firing. Our non-diegetic sound will be created on GarageBand which we planned to use in the very beginning of the opening credits and throughout. We aimed to create a tense a thrilling music to match our genre of a violent thriller as well as what is going on in our opening credits.  

Age rating

The Guidelines at ‘12A’/12’ say ‘There

APPROX RUNNING MINUTES - 2

RELEASE DATE - 21/03/2014

BBFC INSIGHT into Hired -GENRE - Thriller, Drama, Crime

15 for bloody violence, gory sciences, glamorization of illegal activities and one gory image and strong violence. 

The Guidelines at 12A/12 say There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by context. we didn't think this would be an appropriate rating as our film is scheduled to include shots of people people being killed in various ways, It contains an emphasis on injury and blood that would be inappropriate below 15. The reason the film is not rated an 18 is that it only has few violent / distressing scenes not a series of them.Neither is there a series of explicit material or images throught the film such as drug use or sex. Hired it was rated 15 for bloody violence, gory sciences, glamorization of illegal activities and one gory image and strong violence. 

Comparing Hired to Memento

Memento is another thriller that we have studied and taken inspiration from, we have studied the level of violence in the film. Which is very similar to Memento, in fact it was given the same as rating as our film. Memento was rated 15 because it "Contains strong language, once very strong, violence, sex & drug references". As for Hired it was rated 15 for bloody violence, gory sciences, glamorization of illegal activities and one gory image and strong violence.  

Title of our opening

Name of film-

We had a number of possible names for the film,  So the title that was chosen was HIRED as it was simple and straight to the point. So Hired was used as it represents that he has a job or contract to fulfil.  There is also a third party behind events that take place in both the film and opening credits.

Names rejected-

Agent 30 was a possible option describing the codename for the main protagonist. However this was too similar to agent 47 from the Hitman series. The three little pigs was another option which described the three targets that were circled and were seen as his targets. However this was not chosen as it didn't have an obvious connection to a film about a Hitman let alone a thriller.

Target Audiance

As you can see the age rating singles out anybody below the age of 15. This means that it is aimed at young adults as well as teenagers over 15. It is not so much of an action film it is more of an action thriller so action scenes do tend to be minimised. It is more of an intellectual film so would be aimed at intellectuals individuals, figuring out what exactly is happening ( like the film Memento). As for gender the  gender is aimed at males due to the violence and nature of the film, however it would appeal to certain female individuals. However this film is aimed to appeal to 15 year olds with the violent scenes. Furthermore the storyline is meant to be entertaining for older teenagers as the shock value of the violent scenes will help sell this film to 15-20 year olds.
