Our protagonist Chelsea is a virgin, she
wants to set a romantic atmosphere for
her first time with boyfriend Shane so
spends time decorating her house with
different things with connotations of
romance and love (e.g candles, rose
petals etc), when Shane arrives they
begin to get intimate but as the intensity
climaxes Shanes aggression does to.
After a struggle Chelsea manages to
escape Shanes grasp but as she runs
away, fate catches up to her...
Age: Our targeted age range is between
15-35, the reason for this is because
themes around sexual intercourse and
drama are subjects of higher interest to
the younger generation. Based on our
focus on similar films that we were
influenced by we found that they were
targeted towards similar ages however
some such as Gone Girl bbfc was 18 due
to the nudity and graphic scenes of death
involved however as Temptation does
not involve any of these aspects we
aimed it at a bbfc of 15 as we also want
to be able to educate the younger
generation on violence within
relationships.
Gender: We are aiming for diversity in
respect to the targeted gender, however
we do believe that is more likely that we
will receive a higher reception from
females instead of males.
Socio-economic: We do not want to
segregate any socio-economic groups
when it comes to our production ,
however due to our bbfc certification,
target audience and themes we believe
that it likely we will attract socio-
analysed?
economic groups: C1 (supervisory,

clerical & junior managerial,
administrative, professional occupations),
C2 (skilled manual occupations), D&E
(semi-skilled & unskilled manual
occupations. Unemployed & lowest grade
occupations)
In order for our production to meet
generic conventions of dramatic text we
focused on similar texts such as Gone Girl
(2014) and The Perfect Guy (2015) it was
important to look at films from the last
few years so we can meet the demands
of the modern day audiences. From what I
was able to interpret from the similar
texts mise-en-scene is one of the most
important micro-elements, more precisely
lighting. Low-key artificial lighting is
important in order to create an ominous
atmosphere and create suspense. This
will leave the audience anticipating what
events will take place next and ultimately
grip their attention to the production.
What is the rationale behind

this text?
How will you test whether the
product is successful? How will
you check that it accomplishes
the intended effect?
What representations will be

operating in your text? Are these
justified?
The rationale behind our text is mainly to

educate audiences. As a group we believe
that brutality within relationships is an
important issue that a lot of teens need to
know about, we want teenagers to know
that there are people and institutions
they can turn to in order for help and
advice. We also want to educate older
audiences that mental health exists
within teenagers as well as the older
generation; we communicate this through
the protagonist desire for revenge.
In our production we will be following the
typical conventions around a dramatic
thriller showing the woman in danger
within our opening sequence however our
synopsis communicates that our
protagonist (a female) end up dominant
in the end.
To ensure our production is a successful
we will firstly be uploading our opening

sequence to YouTube, this social
networking services allows comments for
feedback and a system of likes and
dislikes. Secondly we will be conducting a
post-questionnaire in which our audience
will be able to evaluate our film and give
us some feedback based on their
opinions. Thirdly we will be putting the
link to our production on various social
networking sites such as Facebook,
Twitter etc in order to boost views and
also so that we can receive more
feedback on our profile via the comment
sections.
What generic codes and
conventions will be operating in
your text?
From my research into generic codes and

conventions I have found that dramatic
thrillers usually consists of a battle
between a protagonist and an antagonist
represented as the disruption of the
equilibrium. Another main convention of
a dramatic thriller is the low-key lighting,
changes in shots and angles and tense
non-diegetic soundtrack used
throughout. However, because parts of
our opening sequence will be used to
delude the audience from the rest of the
action following, so we are creating a
romantic atmosphere that will also hint to
the audience of the true cross genre, in
order to do this I also had to research
typical conventions of a romance, this
included: rose petals (red to connote
passion but also danger), soft music
(which will prove sinister when the
violence begins) low-key lighting (To
create a romantic but then eerie
atmosphere).
The overt message incorporated into the
opening sequence is that women can be
inferior to men.
The hidden message within our text is
that love can be used to manipulate you
and leave you vulnerable.
We need to ensure that our actors are

reliable and are fully committed to the
project meaning they will not drop out of
the production at any particular point.
Once knowing that they are committed to
the project it is also important that they
are on time to the project so that we can
get the project done as quickly as
possible as it is a long process. We also
need to ensure that as a group we are
professional with each other and our
actors and ensure that we all cooperate
well. As a group we must ensure we book
out the equipment prior to our scheduled
filming date it will mean that we will
definitely have the equipment we need
for that date, if we fail to do this it will
affect the day in which we are able to film
which will set back our paperwork.

incorporated into the text?
