Which production company would you finance your film in the real world?
The production company we would have to finance our film would be Warp Films; they’re a more independent company and would be good at focusing on our more independent style of film. Warp films are also British and specify in targeting the British audience, they helped in ‘dead mans shoes’ and in ways is similar to ours as it follows characters and one specific character through its mental state towards the end of our 2 minutes.
We also thought that Hammer Productions known for their 'Gothic' themes, this would go well with Warp Films as they both come from the same backgrounds in the type of films they help produce. Hammer specify into Thriller/Horror/Psychological Thrillers such as ‘The woman in black’ and ‘Let me in’ this is important as these films really represent our genre we want to convey and would understand the genre we are trying to portray. They even helped in the production of 'Psycho'.
We thought the Shane meadows would be a good director for our film 'Paranoia' due to the fact he is a low budget film director, with works such as 'Dead Man’s shoes' (a film we all really enjoyed), 'This is England' and 'A room for Romeo brass'. He has a way of directing dialogue and language that is muddled and over lapping, creating a more low budget gritty feel, that we thought connected with the audience more. He also uses urban locations and local cities for his films, something that we also used, the genres in his films are also representative of what we have in ours, thriller with psychological aspects.
Who would distribute your film?
The Distributors for our film would be Optimum Releasing (new theatrical releases), they helped in the distribution of 'Dead Man’s Shoes' in the Uk and Great Britain. Theatrical release: The date a new movie is entered into the theatre distribution system for public viewing. Alternate formats of the movie, such as DVDs, Blu-ray discs and video-on-demand, are scheduled for distribution a set number of weeks or months after the theatrical release. They’ve helped in distribution of ‘Kill List’, ‘Wolf Creek’, ‘The Railway Children’ etc.
How much would your film cost to make?
Our film is more of an independent film, it would have a lower budget due to the locations filmed in, the mis-en-scene and the camera and shots used. An estimate of around £600,00 to £700,00 for the entire film as a general rounding of money we would need to support our film.For the shots and equipment used we wouldn't need a super high budget, just a moderate budget suitable for a low key city based British Film.
How would your film be marketed? Any unusual ways to market your film?
Marketing our film we would produce trailers and teaser trailer so the audience could get a feel of our film before it actually released and they could go and see it. Along with these trailers we would have posters and also teaser posters to give the audience a feel of the age rating as well as the genre it is, giving more simple information that can be easily viewed by the public. These posters and trailers all are ways of representing what is going to be in the film, what its about and relaxing the good bits so people will want to watch on and see till the end
Doing low key interviews and chat shows would be good in the actors being able to explain the film and promote the genre and conventions to the public, building up a type of hype.
Social media is a very important factor of the 21st Century so we would make a Facebook page and twitter page for the audience to refer to for information, behind the scenes and taster of what is to come in the film. This is also important in getting the word of our film around to get it more known increasing the sales, creating hash tags and spots that can be easily shared promotes and market the film to a range of people all over, not just Britain.

How many screens would it open on? Arthouse or Multiple?
We would open our film in multiple screens, Arthouse and the watershed in Bristol is a really good place to screen our films as we have a generally low budget film and Arthouse is for creative films and we think the ‘Paranoia’ would do really well in there. Also screening it in cinemas is something that would be good in, as it would help to promote our film, we wouldn't have it in too many screens maybe around 200 screens ranging from cheaper cinemas from the Odeon and only a few bigger ones like deluxe.
Who would star in it?
The Actors we would like to star in our film, for my character would be Natalie Portman (The black swan or Scarlett Johansson in 'Lucy', Amy would be played by Jodie Forster (The silence of the lambs, panic room), Tamzin would be played by Al Pacino (The Godfather, Scarface). All these actors/actresses are from films of the same genres we are trying to portray and that have similarities and differences with our characters.
