Opening Summary

The opening of our film shows a clip from the middle of the film. The film is then a flashback of how he got to this point in his life. After the “flashback” the rest of the film will play and we will see how the main characters choice affects everyone in the film. The intro is approximately two minutes long and shows the main character winning a game of poker in a private club or bar. Not only does the main character win the prize money and cars but he also wins a job from the don. He opens an envelope to find orders to make a hit on someone, the identity of this someone will remain secret throughout the introduction but later in the film we will find out and we will see why he is being interrogated this. The next scene is of the main character walking out the poker room as he makes his way towards the cellar where he will complete the “job” the stairs to the cellar is guarded with a bodyguard but the main character has access. He makes his descent of the stairs and walks into the cellar where the suspect is being held. In the cellar there is a member of the mob watching over the suspect. The main character hands over his jacket to the mobster and in return gets given a weapon. The main character then uses the weapon to hit the suspect. In the intro we will try to show the main characters face as little as possible this is so we can keep suspense in our intro and so the audience will want to carry on watching the film to find out who this character is. Our intro fits in to the common genre conventions because we will try and use either men or some of our older looking friends. We will dress them in suits or smart clothes so they look rich and powerful. We will use props like beer cans and cigarettes, and probably use a bat or pole for the weapon. We will light the rooms dimly and have little or no light in the cellar to give the effect of a private underground club. We have tinted the intro in black and white so show it is a ‘flashback’ the rest of the film will be in colour.

Script

Poker game

It all came down to this poker game.

This is where my true colours were played.

I was given the decision. I was given a choice.
I didn’t care about the money I’d made enough of it by now,

but I knew I’d won and with it, the hit.

Stairs

I don’t know how I arrived to this point in my life

But I’m in a family now and what the don wants. The don gets

You gotta do what you gotta do

Cellar

Making a hit on a part of my own family

This is the day the family broke

Production Schedual

Location Report

The ideal location for the film would be in a dated pub. The issues with the chosen location would be getting the permission needed from the landlord. As we would need to be supervised by the landlord and need to be filmed at a time where the pub is closed to avoid customers from interfering with the filming. Another issue would be getting the whole cast and extras with all the props needed at the same place at the same time. To overcome this we will produce a production schedule which we will keep to. The pub also needs an outside shot so it will need to look the part from outside this however doesn’t have to be the same pub we would just need permission from the owner. Alternatively if we cannot find a pub willing to let us film in our chosen schedule then we can use the cellar or a room in the collage with permission from the head of college. The cellar can be used for all shots in our clip and with no cost which would be ideal. The upstairs rooms could be used however the lighting may be bad but can be darkened when we come to editing the film.

The second location would be in a room/cellar where the suspect is being held this doesn’t need to be at specific location just needs to be poorly lit and empty so it has a cold atmosphere this could be a basement at someone’s house or an unused room at collage. The permission for this shot would be easier as we have access to most rooms in the collage this room will only have a maximum of three of the cast, the camera man and director which can be easily controlled.
