Jake Gyllenhaal was selected as protagonist as he got most votes by the audience.
Also, the audience are interested by psychological thrillers meaning that we have a large target audience
Audience Research
We thought of many other names such as Amnesia or Lost however we chose The Forgotten because the protagonist is unaware of his surroundings and doesn’t know what is going on.
Why we chose the name: The Forgotten
A confused man named Michael wakes in a place he doesn’t know
He then finds photos of him with a family he cant recognise.
He wonders around this strange house to find the family he saw in the photos dead,
Michael calls the police to report a murder and ends up getting arrested.
After this he is met by his brother who knows what happened and wont speak up
The opening itself

A confused man named Michael wakes in a place he doesn’t know and then finds photos of him with a family he cant recognise. He wonders around this strange house to find the family he saw in the photos dead, which causes Michael to call the police to report a murder and ends up getting arrested. After this he is met by his brother who knows what happened and wont speak up. Then the rest of the movie is based around Michael having flash backs of his time with that family and him trying to figure out what happened the night before.

Our target audience will be 15+ as it will allow us to connect to a wide audience as the film we be suitable for teenagers and adults
It’s a 15+ film as it contains violence which will not be suitable for younger years. There is a suitable amount of violence that wont upset an 15year old audience.
Audience
Dream CastFor our main protagonist Michael we decided to use Jake Gyllenhaal as we believe he will be able to do this role very convincingly as the main character is very mysterious
We decided to use Forest Whitaker as Detective West because we believe he has a great appearance for a detective as he is stereotypical old and wise and he seems to be dedicated to what he does
We chose to use James Franco to play the brother as he looks like quite a shifty character which could indicate that he is a psychopath
We would love to use Caity Lotz as we believe she will do an amazing job as the wife of the main protagonist because she looks vulnerable
We would like to use Griffin Gluck to play the son mainly based on his appearance as he appears to be a young adorable kid
LocationWe decided to use Bridge Academy for one of our main scenes (the detective scene) as we know there will be a lot of empty rooms we could use.
We decided to use this house as it is not on a main road and is buried in between other houses, also there is a garden where we can put the dead families bodies in.
Any questions?
