Our opening title sequence is a about a hooded youth, who blows a car up during the London riots. The film consists of the following of the man's life as he goes to prison for man slaughter of a child in the car at the time. The film represents urban youth. Similar films to this are 'Shank' 'Anovahood' 'Adulthood' 'Kidulthood' and 'Sket'. The films 'Shank' 'Sket' and 'Anovahood' were produced by two company's named Gungslinger and Gateway films. This is the type of production company that would produce a film like ours. We think our film would appeal to the same target market as the films produced by Gunslinger and Gateway films, so they would be helpful in getting our film noticed in the market.

Gunslinger and Gateway films both produce films similar to our opening title sequence. They spotted a gap in the Uk urban youth market, and both produce films within this categorie.The film would be made low concept, with no recognisable actors and a low budget for the making of the movie.
Gunslinger is a standalone production company, so works with the distribution company Revolver Entertainment. This company has distributed movies which we looked at as similar to ours such as 'Kidulthood'. Revolver Entertainment is a leading independents, award winning, all rights distributor. However, the budget will still be relatively low compared to a production and distribution company such as Warner Brothers. The film's distributed are low concept films with not very recognisable actors. The three films similar to ours, distributed by this company appeared in cinemas, which would be very good for our movie to get it noticed. However, the company has operations in London and Los Angeles only, so the film wouldnt be able to appear in cinemas all around the world. Their films were also released on DVD and BlueRay with good sales. To market our film we will put the film out on x-box, a trailor on youtube, and use social networking to get our name out as it is our first film to our specific target custumer. The type of audience we are aiming at would play X-box, use social networking and YouTube so would see the name of our film. Getting the name out there before the Cinema and DVD release would raise awarness for the film and get more youths waiting for the films release date.

We would need to try stop pirate copys from happening from our movie. Smaller company's are affected more by this as the income is not as high as that of a production company like Warner Brothers. If people pirate copied a movie like ours we would lose a large amount of revenue, meaning it would be hard to pay the cast and not much profit would come out of the movie, as we wouldnt be able to cover costs.
