The Silencer: Characters and Story

This is our original brainstorm for the characters and story.

The Silencer (4.2.14)

This is the powerpoint of the new film idea: The Silencer. The film is about a serial killer in SE London and a policeman. The plot doesn't focus on the killer, but on the policeman; Detective Ansen. He has his heart set on catching the killer before he can take anymore lives, but his brother is trying to stop him before he gets killed himself.

Audience Profile

The Silencer's primary audience is men ages 15 - 30. This is because via research it is found that the average audience for thriller/puzzle solving films are people of this age bracket. 

We targeted this audience specifically as the majority of the group is the highest group with disposable income and will therefore be able to spend it on going to see the film. We put the main audience as men as they are generally the main audience that go to see a film of our genre. 

The film has potential for a worldwide release but due to the £900,000 budget the marketing will have to remain in the UK. Obviously if it had success like Slumdog Millionaire did then distribution would go worldwide.
