Similar Films To Mine and How To Attract Audiences

Black Swan (2010) PosterBlack Swan (2010) is a film similar to mine as it is a psychological thriller about a girl who is mentally ill but loves ballet and it follows her journey to be the best of the best, this is similar to mine because Ethan has a psychological illness and it follows his journey. The differences between this film and mine is that it is focused upon the girl and her love of ballet where as in mine it focuses upon not just Ethan but Vicky Hilling and Michael Staines as well. Also both the storyline narratives are different which is good because it makes my film original in this genre.

These are Black Swans (2010) box office figures:

Budget:

$13,000,000 (estimated)

 

Opening Weekend:

£2,762,429 (UK) (21 January 2011)

Gross:

$106,952,327 (USA)(29 April 2011)
This shows that if my film is successful it can attract a mass audience and bring in a huge profit. The film focuses on attracting its target audience by following the life of a ballet dancer, this immediately attracts anyone that has done ballet or does ballet and they may want to see it. It also focuses on a young girl so this focuses on teenagers as they may feel connected to her. This is similar to mine because I focus on my characters and try to make them similar to my target audience.

Pain Is Beautiful (2012) PosterAnother film that is similar to mine is Pain is Beautiful (2012) which follows the life of a character called William who is a heavily scarred loner who was born with a rare disorder called CIPA, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. He feels no pain and no pleasure. This is similar to mine because Ethan has a psychological disease and focuses upon this in my piece.
