Synopsis - Opening

● The hero's brother is in money troubles with a group of drug dealers.

● Hero's brother only has half the money therefore the hero is trying to stop his brother from going before the men arrive.

● However the hero gets there too late and the drug dealers realise not all of the money is there.

● The gang takes the brother as hostage until the hero gets the money to get him back.

Mise-en-scene

● The three drug dealers in car will be dressed in all black with white masks.

● Brother wearing hoodie, jeans and hat.● Hero wearing polo shirt and black trousers.● Bag that contains money.● Note that gives hero information needed to get his brother

back.● Car.● Settings: Car park, streets

Moodboard

Sound

● Tense non diegetic music to create an atmosphere which will keep the audience on edge because they are expecting something to happen.

● Diegetic sound of car pulling over.

Camera

● High angle shot of the three men looking down on the brother to show they have control of the situation and shows they are intimidating.

● Low angle shot showing brother looking up at the drug dealers to show vulnerability.

● Shallow focus to emphasis the importance of the main character.

Editing

● Cutting to show each persons view, e.g hero then villains. Showing different emotions in the scene.

● Cross-cutting between the protagonist and his brother to build tension.

● Black outs when Victim is taken making the scene dramatic.

Why would this appeal to our audience?

● Most of our audience said they wanted a brave hero who goes on a quest where he needs to be brave.

● We decided not to do a fantasy because the audience wanted the characters/situations to be relatable.

● It is not set in the future – like modern action/adventure films such as The Hunger Games because the audience said they were bored of dystopian films and wanted something set now.
