Transcript of Pitch

The purpose behind Decoy is to express how social and political issues can have a negative effect on the beliefs and ideas of others.

The antagonist; Antonio Kazacar has become lost in the system and due to his poor living conditions, Antonio is seeking a ‘new path’ where he will be ‘the voice of the people’.

Antonio’s misperception that the Government is the root of his predicaments, this provokes him to pursue the idea of annihilating Government in one strike.

Our group decided to call the title of the film; ‘Decoy’ because we thought that it fitted appropriately with the plot, additionally, we wanted a ciphered title that relates to the reality behind the fiction, and that is extremism.

In the opening sequence, what we are producing is going to denote how the government responds to extremism, this is by sending Special Forces into the suspected target area and trying to prevent any threats from causing damage to anyone/anything by restraining the extremist without drawing too much attention and without causing a panic to the civilian population.

The twist to the plot is when the Special Forces pursue and obtain the suspected extremist, located nearby is an additional extremist blending in about to wreak havoc. With the scenario being the government fixated on one target, the other uses this distraction to exploit the one chance he has to complete his task. This is the primary reason we called the film ‘Decoy’.

We have a couple of settings for the first 2 minutes of the film. One of them, is on the roof of Smiths Wood Sports College. This is where Shepard (Ethan) is lying down, holding the rifle, looking for Antonio (Oliver). The second location, is by an alley way, where Fisher (Adam) chases Antonio.

James Shepard

These are two of the props that, Shepard and Fisher are going to use. They will also both have, an ear piece in, so they can speak to each other.

With the growing number of ISIS members coming into the news we then had an idea to make a film that will help people to understand what is going on and how the transaction between a normal student can be converted to an extremist.

We want people to know how young people are being lured into the extremist point of view. This will give people an insight into what is really going on and how it happens.We want to show people that its not just young people that are changing from a normal student to an extremist that threatens society.

After a lot of news being about the dramatic up-rise in the extremist group ISIS we then had the idea of creating a film opening bout this.After experimenting with ideas about what we could do with this group, we then came up with the idea of how we could show the transaction of a student which will be an A level student to an extremist that is part of one of the most dangerous extremist groups.

Putting this into a storyline was difficult at first but after we planned it well with storyboards, mind maps and a well organised shot list we managed to get a great story out of it.

We believe that our film could be successful because this could attract a lot of people that enjoy action and interesting films because as this is new to the news, a film about it would be very interesting to the movie industry and to people that are fans of action films.
