Genre, Audience and Institution

Our OTS is a modern intake on neo Noir and it is a crime film.

It is mainly aimed at men between 25 - 40 and would either be streamed online which is usually from a website with a range of films available for free which can be watched instantly on a laptop, ipad ect.

Steaming online;

Picture house cinema;

Or shown in a picture house cinema which is a network of art house cinemas in the U.K, they are usually small cinema's with smaller screens, more comfortable and better quality seating with a classical look to it. Picture house cinemas also show more varied, arty and alternative films which the larger cinemas would not choose to show. Our ots would be shown here as it does not have the quality's to be shown in a known cinema such as vue or odeon on a big screen because our ots does not include close ups and does not show expressions and feelings on the actors face which is very common in a cinema screening and also the lighting is extremely dark and dull which is not common in a recently made film aimed for the cinema franchise.

Inspiration For the Non-real time used in our OTS.

In a team meeting we came up with a few films that we would use as inspiration when making our OTS, and one that stuck with us was the hit film 'Memento' because the film uses Non-real time which we decided we would use, because we thought that rewind motion at the end of our OTS would work nicely because it gives the viewer the feeling that they have missed something with in the OTS and that we have to go back to find out what it is we have missed and in this case who the killers are.

Our Editor Lucy Easton has worked hard to make this inspiration of the non-real time become reality within our OTS which we as a group are very happy with.
