Brief overview of content: A girl goes missing but is actually turned into a vampire, by an evil vampire that has been stalking her group of friends for a while and has decided they will be his victims (She was turned into a vampire so she could be the creator's mate, but she is heartbroken over her friends and boyfriend so he has set out to kill the rest so she can be his forever). She is declared dead by the police but her body is never found. After her funeral, her boyfriend is sure she is still alive, feeling like he keeps seeing her face everywhere he looks, and is determined to look for her. One of her friends is then killed and after a lot of detective work the rest of the group manage to find the evil vampire and go to find him. The girl manages to save them from being killed by killing her creator. She disappears from her friends so that she never hurts them but stays close enough to protect them from any more harm.

Target Audience: This film is targeted towards a female audience, around 12-19.

Possible scheduling publishing suggestions: During July/ August as our target audience would be out of school for their summer holidays so they would be able to see it.

What comparable products have you researched?: We have researched Tim Burton Opening Sequences as they are slightly eerie and are usually of a fantasy genre and also 'The Lost Boys' as that is a vampire film which relates to ours. We have also researched The Twilight Saga films as they are related to our niche audience. 

How will you test whether the product is successful? How will you check that it accomplishes the intended effect?:Through Audience Feedback.

What generic codes and conventions will be operating in your text?: The title of our film, Cast and Crew, an indication of the location, time and genre, introduction to a character, and we want to raise intriguing questions with the audience so that they are tuned in to our film and will want to continue watching it.

Identify any resource constraints (time, money, equipment, human resources) that might affect your production and your hopes for your product: I think this will take a lot of our time to film because of the many situations we want to include in it. We will need to buy a scrapbook and we will need to print a lot of pictures of the characters, as well as flowers for the funeral.
