Plot synopsis
Our original idea-
We first discussed having two vigilante characters
attempting to find the briefcase stolen by two criminals. The film would be
about their capture of one of the criminals and their fight to gain knowledge
of, first, the whereabouts of the case, then, to retrieve it. What is in the
briefcase would remain unknown, however it would be made clear that it is of
vital importance they get it out of the hands of the criminals. After much
effort and danger they are finally able to secure it and prevail over the
threat.
What would have been in the opening-
The opening would have been a chase scene. It would begin with
an image of a person’s feet, running towards the camera. Then it would switch
to a crowd of people in a city, amongst which, is the leader of the two vigilantes,
clearly looking for someone. It then cuts to the criminal running with a briefcase.
The vigilante then spots him and gestures to his co-worker. The chase ensues
and just as the criminal is caught he passes the case to his co-worker.
Our final idea-
We decided to edit our original idea so we could maintain the
criteria of an opening rather than giving too much of the story away. So we
decided to cut the ‘criminal’s’ co-worker and rather than labelling them as
criminal and vigilante, leave it for the audience to decide. The rest of the
story remained the same apart from changes to the opening and rather than a briefcase
it is information they want.
What will be in the opening-
We will start with a pan of the first room in the basement
before doing a match on action shot of the two interrogators entering the
second room. Then, after each question, the leader will hit the interrogated
person and it will cut to the chase scene. It will end with the interrogated
running into the underground passages, looking behind him and thinking he’s got
away, only to turn around and be face to face with the second interrogator, the
first standing behind him.
