Working Title: Dusk
Film Genre: Crime Thriller
Film Length: 1hr 25 minutes
Target Audience: 15-50 
Tag Line: ‘What really goes on at night?’ ‘No stone left unturned’ ‘Will we ever see who did it?’
Story Synopsis: A teenager murdered at dusk is revisited by the police and detectives, flashbacks to the murder until true story is unveiled, the police interview, discuss and plot this murder working backwards. Will the true story ever be recovered? 
Visual Realisation: Low key lighting to represent dusk to relate to the working title. Some scenes will be light with eerie filters to show the unsettled moods. Darker when reflecting in woods for the murder scenes. A tinged filter would work especially well here. Varied camera angles will be used to show an unsettled mood in quick montage successions. Interview will build huge sums of tension and angst for the audience too. Sounds – diegetic in audience when interviewing, and discordant whilst at the murder scene.
Statement of Intent: A crime thriller that involves murder. The detective search through will tell the story, however will involve curve balls to open the audience to perception and meanings, away from the original story line. The audience will care for the entertainment and the aim is to suck them into to actually believing it is true. This is a film as instead of waiting weeks to encounter the true story, and it is easily to reflect back to the start, whereas in a television drama this may be hard to do.
What If?’ Premise: What if a teenage murder wasn’t as it seems? A young boy has been murdered for the reason the detectives uncover, or is it? The story may lead to a switch in the last moments, whilst the murderer leads them off in different directions. Could it be an inside job? Could it be the teen’s best friend? Will we find out, who knows? 
Audience Appeal: Initially, the intended audience would have to be of suitable age since as murder takes place in it, therefore would be for more mature audiences. However, to be accessed by a larger audience, the film could be accessed by 16’s upwards to give opportunity for wide audience views. Large amounts of details and images shows the film isn’t appropriate for anyone who is not mature and capable of dealing with such concepts, therefore 16 upwards. I have chosen not to rate this 18 upwards as the film does not feature any gore. This would be accessible by anyone no matter their age, gender, or ethnicity, and is purely for entertainment, whilst making the audience think at the same time.
