Decisions made about genre + why?:
As a group we came to a conclusion to pick the genre action for our short film. We picked this genre as we felt that as a group it would be the type of genre that we could pull of succesfully. We came down to two genres to pick from comedy & action and decided to go for action as we felt we would also enjoy working with that genre throughout the task.
Plot for whole film:
Sean and Deano are two ordinary geezers in their twenties caught in massive amounts of debt due to endless amounts of drug taking and betting. After many years of being flatmates they become very close. They both later on in the film though fall out with each other after having an argument about rent on the flat.
The beginning of the film shows Sean tied up with Deano intimidating him with a baseball bat because Sean has slept with Deano’s girlfriend. This is ironic because they are both best mates and do everything together. In the opening scene they plan and successfully pull of a drug deal together.
Throughout the film Sean gets involved in all kinds of trouble. This included a drug deal that an old enemy tips the police off about, Sean manages to escape but things from that moment start to get a whole lot worse when Sean sleeps with Deano’s girlfriend after a drunken night out.
The end scene shows Deano and Sean having it out. Deano kidnaps Sean and ties him up in a dark garage and intimidates him with a baseball bat. The ending shows Deano being escorted away by the police and Sean leaving in a ambulance after something went horribly wrong in the garage.
Plot for opening sequence:
The opening scene will show the ending of the film to encourage the audience to watch on with tension and establish a non-linear narrative.
This scene opens with Sean in the middle of a dream, its shows him tied up in a dark cold garage. After a short exchange of words with the person who has tied him up, he gets hit around the head with a baseball bat.
The bad nightmare is short lived though and he wakes up disturbed. This is ironic because the person who had him tied up was his flatmate; this is our hook in the film. When Sean wakes up, he begins to get ready for the big event, he first off, does press-ups, followed by a shower, and he then goes downstairs to have breakfast.
Soon on in the opening we are introduced to his flatmate “Deano” when they sit down with each other and have breakfast to discuss a drug deal that they are going to be involved in.
After speaking for a while they soon set off to the drug deal in a deserted tunnel. After this the audience see the end of the opening and the beginning to a new setting and time.
