Film report and Presentation (Unit 2)
Research
My short film is going to be about where a person wakes up all of a sudden from a stab wound to his chest in an unknown place but he is bleeding out. but while this is happening, he is looking up to the ceiling of the building and thinking over about what happened before he got stabbed.
The idea that I have for this short film that it is influenced by a american film called What Lies Beneath that was released back in 2000 which consists of the elements of a thriller with horror but I got my ideas from this film as I am making a thriller short film.
With What Lies beilieve, it had flashbacks to show what happened in the past between the two main characters in the film and also violence and horror with it as well but my short film's genre is thriller so it will contain elements of flashbacks and suspense for a certain audience that are going to be interested in my film.
Another influence that it has on me to come up with this idea for this short film is a guarian article where it talks about a 16 year old boy in East London being stabbed to death after an incident happened in a local social club. This does tie in with my short film that I want to make because the main character does get stabbed in the beginning of the film but does not die at all as he survives.
I have found information on What Lies Beneath on IMDb which is a online database for different films, TV Programmes and Video Games which also include the cast, production crew, the plot summary, fictional characters and reviews. Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161081/
I found this piece of online information on the guarian where there is a report of a 16 year old boy who was stabbed to death in East London where the incident happened in a local Social Club where a birthday party was taking place at the same time but this is one of my influence for my short film.

Budget
But the production budget of What Lies beleive is big than my short film that is going to be made because it had profess use of equipment that was bring used by people as well as the actors and actresses who are also involved with film but it was made to make it look bad for the audience that were interested to watch this in the cinema which the production budget did cost around $100 million dollars but with my short film that is going to make is a low budget between £2,000 and £5,000 pounds because although it is professional with the use of the cameras and different equipment that are also to make my short film look good but the budget that I aiming to get may depend on different things like transporting the food to different location for the actors or actresses to have something for example.
Funding
Although I am aiming to have my short film to be a low budget, I will still need to funded by the film organization that will help me to make my film possible to make because if I do you not funded at all, then I would impossible to pay for the equipment, location's permission, actors and actresses etc. The organization that is possible to get funded is by the British Film who are funded by the National Lottery which help a company that is making a new film through the development of it, production and the distribution but they are making about £26 million each year but with college, we d not nned to be fun at all as it is compltely free to use at any time gien.
Film regulation/certification
The BB (British Board) is a independ, governmental organization that was founded in 1912 by the film industry that is responsible for the national classification of the film or video across the Untied Kingdom.
Online platforms for distribution and short film festival entry
The on platforms that I am going to distribute my short film are YouTube, Netflix etc as other people can see it at anytime given but also I am going to put in my entry for my short film to seen at a festival where my target audience and business people who may want to show this to other countries by promoting it.
Guidance for writing a successful short film
When writing a good short film, it is meant to have a very interesting idea for it because if you came up with a idea that is potentially boring then you may lose interest from the target audience and not bother at all watching at all. So if you are coming up with a idea for a short film that you could look at different short films on YouTube to get overview of what ideas that other people came up with but you are finding it hard to come up with a idea, then you could get inspiration of what you have gone through in the past or reading different stories in the internet or newspaper to get a idea for your short film.
