Question 3

Pathe' is a French company founded in 1896. Have produced various innovations through films history, they were one of the first company's to produce hand coloured film. The reason why we chose to use Pathe' is due to the films that Pathe' have a trend to produce, they're a suitable company for a low budget shot on sight film set in the UK. The films Pathe' have recently produced all can fall into low budget set location films which focus on the emotions in which are developed throughout the media, placing unexpected twists and plot elements which change the course and flow of the film.

Pathe' use these films to fill a niche' of target audiences, which challange the traditional conventions seen in Hollywood produced films.
Our film sets itself out to begin as a somewhat traditional kidnapping thriller story, however in the first segment of the story we focus heavily on building a strong bond/relationship between the two characters. Instead of trying to produce instant emotions in the first five minutes, we want the relationship developed throughout the film, letting the audience eventually try to generalise with the characters. Later on throughout the film, the inclusion of another key point is the evolution of society, the point that this teenage woman has been kidnapped and hidden from society for the past 8 years, it shows how the turn of the millennium and the envelopment of the digital era can become almost too much to cope with for those stuck in the past.

 Our Audience is based around a more mature audience who can understand these points and how they affect the characters. Pathe' have produced titles such as Be Kind Rewind and 127 hours, both films start off as cliché titles to their respective genre but by the turn of the halfway mark both films instantly and continuously change in pace. 127 focuses away from the characters survival and shows us into his eventual mental downfall, reciting his last few memories before his supposive demise. As seen in this brief trailer, the beginning shots of the traliler develop the film supposedly as a high octane, feel good drama (especially in sequences seen in areas such as 0:50-1:02). The trailer also foreshadows itself, especially with the supposive Vlog style narritive being recorded the time he is stuck in the ravine, developing this huge sense of mental deterioration.
Be kind rewind changes from a comedy about spoofing blockbuster titles, to realising how much of an impact filmaking has produced towards people. Like our film, it breaks away from their conventional genre, letting the audience follow.
