Product InformationTITLE WORD NAME IDEAS:
➢ Mistaken➢ Misunderstood ➢ Hoax calls➢ Voodoo ➢ Revenge➢ Unrequited ➢ Unknown ➢ Watching ➢ Incognito
➢ Sweet TalkThe title of the film will be called I’ll Be Watch-ing You. I have chosen to name the film this be-cause I believe that it is a very effective with linking it with the film’s narrative, with Poppy, the popular female, watching Leo everywhere he goes. As well as this, I have decided to name this the title do a song title, Every Breath You Take by The Police, which uses the words “I’ll Be Watching You”, which therefore adds to sus-pense of the film as this song will be used in the film through a prank call.
In addition to this, the star rating for this film will be placed at a 12 rating for many reasons. One reason why I have chosen to put this film at this rat-ing is due to the unconventional films narrative. The convention of the thriller genre is to have a male villain with the ‘damsel-in-distress’ as a fe-male, however this film is unconventional with the villain being the female, therefore making the film interesting to watch due to a thriller twist. A sec-ond reason why I have chosen to place the film at a 12 rating is due to the suspense which the film contains, making the audience keep on the edge of their seats and having a lot of anticipation, therefore making it a great film to watch. The BBFC classification states that the “the overall tone of a film and they way it makes the audience feels affects the classification e.g. a dark tone would disturb someone under the age of 12”. A final reason why I
have placed the film at a 12 rating is due to lasting affect which the film has. By this I mean that during both the film and after it, the audience will have a variety of questions which they will want to have answered, due to the narrative’s effect on the audience, making the audience want to know an-swer, therefore making it an overall good film to watch.
