Group members Suhail, Kevin, and Hayyat chose to make a gangster crime thriller titled "Money leaves a BLOODY trail." The plot follows an innocent black teenager who finds a briefcase in the woods next to a dead body, launching a cat-and-mouse chase with underground crime bosses as he keeps the briefcase. The bosses - an Asian man, white man, and black man - want the lost briefcase back. Scenes will be shot in forests and urban areas controlled by the bosses to show the power dynamic between the innocent teenager and superior underground crime bosses.
1. Group members: Suhail, Kevin, Hayyat
Chosen genre: Gangster crime thriller
Title of film:
Outline of ideas:
Tagline of film: Money leaves a BLOODY trail.
Basic plot synopsis: An innocent outsider discovers a briefcase in the forest
next to a guy who is dead from a drug deal shootout that went wrong and
once he decides to take the briefcase it becomes a cat and mouse chase
between him and the underground bosses.
What type of characterisation will you have?
The innocent guy will be a black guy, who is going to be a teenager. We chose
a black guy as we are subverting the conventions of a movie as the black guy is
always shown as being the bad one however this time we thought of showing
him as the innocent one. His also been shown as a teenager as there are
shown as being more innocent and also to see how a teenager would react to
the situation.
The underground bosses: Asian guy, white guy, and black guy will be the
underground bosses who are the ones who had their briefcase get lost so to
get it back they go out for a cat and mouse chase with the innocent black guy
who has the package
Describe the Mise En Scene to be used or any visual motifs?
Our main scene would be in the forest where the innocent guy finds the
briefcase so we will have some scenes shot in the forest such as epping forest.
Then we also have the urban areas such as street corners which is controlled
by the underground bosses, and an office where the underground bosses meet
up and have discussions
Suits will be worn by the bosses or more smart clothing to show they are
more superior then the others.
Normal clothes to be worn by the innocent guy to show that he is a normal
civilian who doesn’t have a clue about what is happening.
What are your ideas about Cinematography/ photography?
Panshots of the landscape of the forest showing the scenery
High and low angle shots showing that the underground bosses have a higher
status than the innocent guy this also makes him look less superior.
Close up shots of facial expressions
Fade outs during scenes
