FILM IDEA & OPENING SEQUENCE IDEAElliot & Zara

WHAT IT IS ABOUT

The premise of our film will be based around a briefcase which holds dangerous information worth $50,000 which could overthrow the government, in-which 4 organisations are after. 1 organisation being good (protagonist) where they try to protect the briefcase from 3 other organisations which are criminals. (antagonists). The film will include a twist where one of the specific members of a criminal organisation was previously good and worked with the protagonist. There will be a large amount of movement in the film, where the characters will have to travel from city to city, going after the briefcase.

OPENING SEQUENCE

For the opening sequence of our Thriller film we have thought that we’d begin our film with a member of the antagonist organisation on the phone, in which he/she is requested to visit the organisation building during late hours. once they arrive, the chief of the organisation has given them a job to get the briefcase and it’s ability of how it can overthrow the government.

OVERALL

For the overall film, we thought that at the beginning of our thriller film the protagonist will be requested by their organisation to pickup the suitcase, the protagonist travels over a few cities to then come across the 3 opposing antagonist organisations. In the middle of the film all of the organisations will fight each other, fights spread across Europe (England – Germany). In the end of the film all of the agents fight each other to have the final 2 members standing (protagonist & a criminal organisation agent), although, we’ll introduce a twist where a friend of the protagonist was working with the criminal organisations (person on the phone in the beginning of opening sequence). Showdown occurs, the protagonist kills his friend and gets the briefcase, saving the government.

CHARACTER AND AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

• The detailed plot was considered from our research which suggested that people were interested in unique stories, this went hand-in hand with the research regarding the expression of character development, which allowed us to expand our idea. Considering our research, we decided to have a male protagonist but also have a large variety of female actors which we’ll have play the majority of criminal organisation antagonist agents. Our film idea will also references to psychological genre which is liked by our target audience (teenage age-group, 16-21).
