Celador Film Company

‘Global light entertainment company originally formed as an independent production company in 1983. It has produced a number of popular light entertainment shows and is probably best known for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and co-producing the film Slumdog Millionaire which collected seven masks at the BAFTAS, four Golden Globes and eight Oscars including Best Director and Best Picture in 2009.’
One of Celadors greatest film productions was British Horror film; The Descent (2006) directed by Neil Marshall. The synopsis of the film follows six women who, having entered an unmapped cave system, become trapped through a series of unfortunate events, and are hunted by flesh-eating humanoids who seem to have been trapped inside for hundreds of years.
Neil Marshall realized that horror films almost never have an all-female cast, and with The Decent Marshall wanted to defy convention. Casting all women into the role, Marshall was aware he needed to avoid making them clichéd, so simply asked basic advice from his female friends and family. He explained that the main difference was, "the women discuss how they feel about the situation, and where as a group of men wouldn’t."
When it comes to producing and scripting our own film, I feel I should learn from The Decent when portraying the female character. As I’m aiming the film towards a female target audience I need to make the character relatable.
