Risk Assesment

Firstly a main risk for our film is due to the limited amount of Film Noir films that are released. This could result in a lower interest in the film as its genre as it is not popular. Therefore the film needs to be marketed successfully to maximize interest resulting in maximum revenue. To minimize the risks we are going to use viral marketing. For example certain web sights such as youtube and board sheet newspapers would be taken over by a blank screen with a silhouette of the femme fatal smoking a cigarette. This would create suspense and desire creation to no more about the film. Also marketing on such web sights and with the use of a attractive woman this would attract the main audience of older men as they are more likely to watch a film of such genre.

Another risk could be financing the film. We need to ensure that we make the film look believable, realistic and professional on our low budget. In order for use to achieve these elements we need to make sure the location is correct. For a film noir this would be great if it could be a cite like New York however this is not possible therefore we will have to make do with local locations such as streets or disused warehouses.

In order for the filming to go along with schedule we will need to make sure that all cameras use have full charge before we head out filming so make sure we charge them the night before, and also that the actors have the correct costume and are here on time, so reference to the call sheet and filming dates would be needed. Also although we can not control the weather it would be better if we could film on a dull day however if it rains this could result in a delay to filming.

The final risk that we could face is trouble due to the fact we are using guns, although they are fake if a passer by was to see them in a quick glance they could get scared and call the police and this could be a nightmare and not only delay filming but get us in to trouble therefore we need to be careful and not film in a highly populated place.
