Abomination Union Production Proposal

Task 1

My poster for my movie, Abomination Union, targets my audience of 15+ because there is movie stars that I have used that can stick into the audience's minds. I have used the actors Christian Bale and Keira Knightly, because they are top actors and would motivate the audience to go and see it. As this movie is a zombie genre, I had to create a poster that would suit this genre, so to make this happen, I included very vivid images of zombies that are going to attack the three main characters near the centre of the poster. I use dark lighting on the floor to show devastation that occurred when a nuclear bomb exploded that caused devastation throughout London and caused devastation in the UK. I wanted to use a tagline that would stick into the minds of the audience that sees this poster, I looked at my synopsis and came up with a tagline saying: 'She looked for help...HELP wants her dead!!!'. I did not use a date because I wanted to keep the audience in suspense and make sure the audience would get excited over the movie. I used two reviews from one magazine that is focused on movies and that's why I chose Entertainment Weekly, and I also chose one of England's top newspaper read by millions in the UK, which was Daily Mail. If I had other ways to promote my film to target my audience, I would put my poster on billboards and post them all around the UK and post these on buildings so that people of the UK can see this and motivate them to watch it. I could also create a trailer that would broadcast before movies that are 15+ rated, that when audiences see it, they might also want to see it as well because watching the trailer with these stars in it might motivate them even more.

Task 2

For my production company, I would pick Working Title films, which is a British film production company owned by Universal Studios, because this was the production company that funded Shaun Of The Dead which inspired me to create Abomination Union. The company came into existence in 1983 and their work include Les Miserables (2012), Johnny English Reborn (2011), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) and Bean (1997). Recent films include The Theory Of Everything (2014) and About Time (2013). These particular films did not include much funding as their movies don't need technological devices in the films such as great CGI and just focuses on the actors themselves and that is what I wanted. For my distributors, I would pick United International Pictures UK (UIP). This company focused on distributing this movie to the UK alone and that is what I hope to happen with my movie. Their successful work includes Charlottes Web (2006), Mission: Impossible III (2006), King Kong (2005) and Nanny McPhee (2005). Their most recent work include Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (2015) and Fast and Furious 7 (2015). Their companies, as well as in the UK, are in Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Malaysia, Norway, Panama, Peru, the Philippines (through Sony Pictures International since June 2014), Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.

Task 3

I think my producer's should decide to fund my idea for my film, Abomination Union. First of all, my genres for this film are zombie horror and action and adventure, which at the moment, is trendy in the film industry at the moment, with films coming out like Insidious: Chapter 3, Terminator: Genisys and The Last Witch Hunter, which focuses on other things killing main characters in films. I have used two UK actors that are very popular around the world, Christian Bale and Keira Knightly, because these two names would stick to the audience's minds. This would help sell my film to a producer even more because of the use of stars I have used. In my particular film, I use social concerns that could be controversial in my film. I have created a gang called 'The German Mafia', who planted the nuclear bomb inside Big Ben, as an act of terrorism that caused devastation across the UK and turned everyone in London into flesh-eating zombies. Using Germany as a country to provoke terrorism can be a bad idea because of the two world wars that occurred between 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. There is no legal or ethical concerns except maybe the use of violence between humans and zombies but not cause any legal or any ethical concerns.
