3. The films genre will be a hybrid of action comedy. Films in this sub-genre blend comic antics and action as well as wit and one-liners with a thrilling plot and daring stunts. • Heroes that face challenges • Dramatic fights and chases with humor • Special effects are key Genre
4. Pen, Hayden and JJ have grown up with powers for all of their lives. With Pen having the ability to mind control, Hayden being able to fire bend and Nate having the skill of manipulating energy, they only use their powers for their own benefits.

5. The audience film rating to aim at 12A - 15. This film is for young adults onwards like Kick-Ass and The World End, which are both action comedy films. The audience won’t be gender specific, and will try to aim at both male and female audience members. Audience
6. Production and Distribution The production companies for this film will be NewFilm Productions and Working Title Films. Both of these companies are known for working with indie films with low budget, so they can both bring a lot to this films production process. NewFilm is also a recently started up company of only 2 year, which can help to bring some new angles and innovation to this process. Distribution will be carried out by Lions Gate Uk, who are also known for working with indie films. This gives us confidence that they can use the best strategy to get the film out there, and to produce great marketing with the trailer.
7. For this trailer it will consist of two female characters and one male characters. • Pen: a 18 year old female skilled fighter with the power of mind control. Happy with using her power to do what she pleases. She won't let Hayden destroy their secret. • JJ: a 17 year old boy with the power to manipulate energy. Agreeing with Pen, he doesn't want the world to be left in Hayden's hands. • Hayden: a 17 year old girl. She holds the power of fire bending. Starting to get tired of playing around with her power, she wants to change the world and make it her own. Characters
8. Settings Woods: Some of the scenes will be shot in the woods. This will both be in open areas and in areas covered by trees. Underpass: There will possibly be and underpass involved in shots. This will either involve characters walking out of it, or it being in the background of shots. House: Some shots may be in the rooms of a house. This can include the kitchen, living room or outside of an house. Bedroom: A bedroom shot may be needed to show the heroes in their own space. This can give some background to the characters, and bring through their personality. This is done in films like Spiderman and Superhero Movie. Superheroes
9. Props Clothing:Standard teenage clothing but each with a colour theme. One will be blue, another green and the last red. Props: • gaming station (mind control will be used) • candle (lights candle) • Lights (energy control)
10. Music Action: Action music will be needed for any fighting shots that will be shown. This will add extra definition to the shots and make it look more serious, which can make it more comical depending on what is shown in the shot. Relaxed/Bouncy: Relaxed/bouncy music can be used when it is just the heroes. This will because theses will be quite mellow shots compared to the ones featuring the villain. Suspenseful: Suspenseful music can be used when all characters are with each other talking, before any fights happen. This again can add to the situation, but
11. Camera Shots/Editing Pedestal: This shot can be used to show the characters costumes. Long Shot: Gives a full view of the characters Split Screen: Can either show the heroes together or a star off between all characters. Fade: Between shots to give extra suspense. Tracking: Following heroes as they run. Long Cut: Long cut of heroes looking 'epic'. This can be done with slow-mo. Shot Reverse Shot: Between heroes and villain. Add suspense.
12. Lighting High Key Lighting: Creates a happy and enjoyable setting, and allows a lot of detail. Natural light: Easy to use and I plan to have a lot of outdoor shots. Brings a natural setting and isn't too harsh. Back Light: Illuminates subject. Can be used in a silhouette shot to show characters. Can also give contrast compared to other shots and lighting.
