Evaluative commentary part 3
- 2. What two films are similar to mine? Shutter Island, The Shining, I Am Legend and Quarantine.
- 3. Why? They are all from the same genre such as horror/psychological thriller. The target audience are all teenagers and young adults this is because they use escapism and entertainment from films to get away from their lives to seek thrill. Also the films have similar concepts and locations. Shutter island and the shinning both set in a large building in a quite isolated area.
- 4. • $80 million Shutter Island. Shutter island had famous actors starring in the film such as Leonardo DiCaprio so they had to have a big salary. Also the film had some visual effects which would cost a lot to have. • $19 million for the shining. The shining had Jack Nicholson who is a major Hollywood star. The film was filmed mostly at a real hotel so there were not many sets made this would also cost a lot. • $150 for I am legend. Also had a major Hollywood actor Will Smith he is one of the most played actors in the business. The film also contains spectacular visual effects.
