It is aimed at older people so they can relate to the pirate stations. It also has some scenes with adult nature such as swearing etc.

3. How is the Comedy created?

The characters create the comedy. The way the characters act and the way they talk create the humor in the film.

4. In your opinion, how does it conform to a typical WT film?

Working Title films are british films that have a very british feel to it. The Boat that Rocked has a very british feel to it because in the beginning of the film you see 10 downing street and the snobbish politicians that are in it. It also haves the typical clothes that people used to wear during Britain's 1960's. Also the way people talk in a british accent also emphasizes the setting.

Further Research on Conventions within a Thriller Film:-

A scene that is thrilling and eerie will more than likely use lighting of dark colours so it creates that edgy gut feeling of something about to happen. This intrigues the audience and makes them want to know more about what is going to happen in the film. Also lighting of the colour red is another convention that symbolises death, blood and violence. This in a way foreshadows the film as a thriller.
Sounds also lets the audience know its a thriller and a way to show the intensity of a thriller is by having sounds of a loud heart beating, loud breathing etc. This makes the film seem more realistic, and makes the audience extremely and utterly intriuged and at the edge of their seat in suspense.
Another Convention is a vulnerable female protagonist being chased by a dominant/scary male. This is used in many films (e.g. Prom Night)

Location Report

Address: Aldermans Hill, Palmers Green, N13 4RB
Broomfield Park is in the London Borough of Enfield

The reason we picked Broomfield Park as our location for our thriller film is because it has enough open space which is very convenient for our thriller opening, as our thriller opening requires enough space because we have to film people running.
It also has a pathway next to the bench which is good as it will help create tension for the audience when the actors are walking through the park. It helps the audience also focus on them walking. It also has trees in the background which are very eerie when it is dark. There is a playground in this park also which is why we chose it as it has swings and a merry-go-round for our camera shots.

Pymms Park

We changed our location for our filming as when we went to film, the park was closed at night. Therefore we could not film, also it had more street lights.
