Synopsis and Target Audience

John is taking a run through his local woods after work on a dark October day. However, his life will take a turn for the worst - he becomes, "bait".Straight from the start the audience is fully aware of both the sense of danger and malice that is shown in copious amounts, aswell as the dark twisting storyline of "Bait". John is lured from an everyday life and is thrust into a world of confusion, trickery and extreme violence.Whilst trying to survive from the grinding tools of a psychopath, John tries to tap into the mind of his captor and try and desperately find a way out. After an anonymous provocative message is sent to authorities the search for John begins after several days missing. The plot thickens as discoveries are made into the identity of the blood thirsty killer and where John is being held from escape.As the search for John becomes conclusive, John becomes aware of the twisted plan of his captor and realises he has become bait for a simple minded mass murder. - His rescuers are being tested.Fast action and slow tension building scenes capture the true evil contained in the darker rural areas of the UK.

(The poster was created by Olli Cannon and the group worked on the synopsis together.)







This synopsis got us thinking about who is our target audience?



We thought it was more or less about 18+ as our story is a convention of a horror gore film which would be rated as an 18. However we do not plan to use language, violence, drugs or scenes of a sexual nature which would bring our small clip down to a 12 or 15 at the highest. But this i feel was only due to our lack of resources, if we had the money for fake blood make up and false limbs then i suspect we whould have used it.
