2. I believe that the thriller opening sequence I have made is a low
concept film because high concept films contain certain conventions
that a low concept film would not be able to do with their film. For
instance, a high concept film would have A-list actors or special
effects in their film. Low concept films are not able to do this since
independent companies usually distribute low concept films.
Independent companies lack the money to be able to use features
like special effects and are unable to afford A-list actors Whereas
high concept films have a lot of money from the previous films that
they have made therefore they will be able to afford such features. I
believe that the thriller film is a low concept film since we were not
able to afford conventions of a high concept film.
Do you think that your film is a high
concept film or a low concept film?

3. Axiom films is an independent distribution, production and a
UK-based sales company that was first founded in 1997 by
two producers called Douglas Cummins and Rocio Freire-
Bernat. Axiom films are an independent company, which
means that they must help gain money from other
companies to help fund the movies that they produce. My
opening sequence is most likely to be a low concept film if
Axiom films are an independent company. They are less likely
to be able to afford certain features, which determines the
concept of my thriller film.
How does whether your film is high or low
concept film relate to the distributor you have
chosen?

4. There are quite a few advantages of having my thriller film being
produced and distributed by an independent company. One of them is
that they are more likely to have originality and creativity than major
companies. For example, the film the Dark Knight Rises is a
recognisable storyline that is easily understood by all from around the
world. It also has one-dimensional characters, which do not have
much character development. With independent films, there isn’t a
limit on how far you can develop your characters therefore there is
more creativity within the film. Therefore it can develop the
characters within he opening sequence I have made. Moreover, low
concept films are able to appeal more to their target audience
meaning that my thriller film would be able to achieve a goal of
reaching towards the target audience chosen who are people who are
interested in psychological films and have thriller in it.

5. However, some independent companies are restricted to
show their film globally due to certain issues e.g. language,
accent etc. Some films may not be able to make the money
back from the film that they have made meaning that they
have a chance of ending up bankrupt and may not be able to
produce films again. If our film is restricted due to these
issues, the thriller film may not earn enough money back that
they took to make the thriller film. Another disadvantage is
that it may take a while to earn the money back, Attack the
Block is still trying to earn money back by doing a variety o
things such as competitions and creating game apps
