Evaluation Question 3 - Part 1

Question 3 Part 1 (Unlimited budget decisions) Autumn Mitchell

If I was fortune enough to be able to have this film made real, I would have both the film made and distributed by Warner Bros. It’s no secret to anybody that Warner bros have created some of the best and well received films over its time in operation, alongside this the films never fail to disappoint and always manage to impress. Warner Bros are a well-established entertainment brand name and they have made and distributed some of the biggest known films both new and old, there include films such as:

·        Harry Potter (franchise)

·        Dark Knight

·        Suicide Squad

·        The Exorcist

·        Casablanca

·        Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

·        The Shining

·        Conjuring 2

The reason I would personally love to use warner bros for both distribution and making the film, away from the facts, is that as a child I remember putting a movie in the dvd or video player and as the titles rolled I always knew as soon as it was Warner Bros I knew I would love whatever it was. Until starting media studies there were many other companies I recognised the logo and sound from but would never remember a name whereas Warner Bros always stuck with me. As they are so well established it is no question that this company produces high quality and expensive films with huge budgets on the films, and for this reason knowing how amazing the thriller could be if this company was to help film and distribute I know it would be the best it can be and will be seen by a wide audience of loyal customers.

If I had an unlimited budget and could hire anybody in the famous and movie world to be both the target and the two main characters I would of course go large and get the best of the best. The older man who takes the young boy under his wing but eventually turns on him, essentially the “lone wolf” I would want to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio, because he is substantially older than the younger boy who would be played by someone of the age around 20. I would choose him because I have seen him before in previous movies and I know that he can play the business man turn savage as this character needs to be. In my eyes, he would be perfect for the role and would rake in many of his loyal fans to see him meaning the film would go large. The person I would like to play the younger boy who eventually gets killed by the man who teaches him the art of being a sniper would be Brenton Thwaites. He started in one of my all-time favourite films called “The Giver”, his acting skills are empowering and it is impossible to take your eyes off him and he is so well fitted to the role in terms of age and experience making him perfect for the role.
