Feedback on film idea

www: A good overview of what happens in your film.
EBI: It's lacking depth - in the fact that you decide setting and age purely based on a 'feeling', rather than actual evidence from your film idea. (Please all be careful of your spellings!)

Acting on feedback:

This film will be a 15 because to make the film quite realistic I would want the actors to use language that will not be suitable for children from under 15. At this age they then can appreciate whats happening and not just make a big deal because someone on the screen has just swore. By having the characters swear it will make them more relateable because it’s something that other detective and people in everyday positions will use the same language. This shows that the characters are just normal people being put into this situation, which hopefully will allow the audience to like them more because they are relatable. It will also be a 15 because of the amount of gore that will been seen in the film. For example the film is about a someone mutilating 7 women bodies. The audience will see mostly everything because you don’t want to show off too much that you put off the audience from watching the rest of the film. It’s 15 because that is the age group that they should start to mature and understand situations better.
The location is in New York because it’s the city that never sleeps and something is always happening to the surrounding people. A lot of crime happens in New York which will make my film believable to the audience because they know that the murder will more likely to happen there then any other place in America. New York is very atmospheric which means that it will suit the story plot because it’s quite dark in some areas which will suit where the murder will take place. For example I wouldn't have it in Miami because it’s too bright and sunny there so my story wouldn't fit there.
The characters:
John Fallon- This character is the head detective, which means that all the characters rely on him to tell them what the next step is and what they have to do. Because he is in charge and experienced he’s the the type of person to get emotional over things, he is the one that stays strong and is the other characters “rock”. He is incredibly smart, and his intelligence will shine though as the movie goes on. I have picked Simon Baker to be the head detective because he is already in a TV show which is a crime drama ( which means he is experienced with this type of plot line) however, the character he will be playing is completely different from the one he plays on the mentalist which will create a challenge for him. Because he is already on a TV show the audience will more likely to come and watch the film because they like that sort of genre.
Derrick Storm- This character is the “joker” in their group. By having someone that can make people laugh will give a light toned effect when there needs to be, which means that the film will not always be dark and gloomy. I have picked Andrew Garfield to play this character because he was spider man by him being in this film, it will bring more viewers. Also I believe he will play the character really well and he will portray Derrick as I want the audience to see him as.
Ally Stephans- This character is hard working, which means that she is a workaholic. She spends most of her time in the lab investigating what the others have found at the crime scene. I have picked Amy Smart to play this character because she looks like the type of person that will work all the time which will make the movie more realistic.
Carly Odell- This characters is the forensic pathologist. You have to be experienced to be in this job that's why the Julianne Moore is slightly older than the rest of the characters. This gives more emphasis on the murder because she has seen so many of these and nothing is like the murder that they have got this time.


Gabby Hawking- She is younger than the rest of the team and is new, though the movie you see their relationship grow and develop more. I wanted her to be younger because then it will appeal to the younger audience as well, and as a result more people will see the movie.
