For my short film, I will create a failed heist. This will include the robbers attempting to find a way into the heist, however investigators will be on the same wave length as them. They will track them and take them down.
Logline:
The film will begin before the scene of a robbery, and will include cuts of the robbers scoping out a bank to try and plan their attack. The start of the film will include investigations as to what happened in the robbery, this will be shot in a dark room with very low lighting. There will be 3 investigators round a computer, who will watch the cctv video of the robbers in the bank, from this they will catch the robber by doing a series of tasks.
Structure
Act 1: For the first 3 minutes of the film, all characters will be introduced to the screen, as in all investigators will be introduced, as well as those who attempt to pull off the robbery.
Act 2: The conflict: The conflict will be the investigators watching the video of the robbery and how it all happens.
Act 3: The investigators will set out as a team to begin the hunt for the robbers and take them down once they've found the culprits.
Characters:
The characters in my film will have some logic behind them. i.e the investigators will outnumber the robbers and the investigators will be bigger than the robbers. My first investigator will be Josh. This is because he a big man, a rugby player and would without a doubt take a robber to the ground, therefore he is a perfect choice. My next investigator will be Luke. This is because Luke is again a tall and dominant character, who could take on a robber. Finally, my last investigator will be Rob. This is because he has quite a dominant figure, and his tall stance will dominate those who are robbers. For my robbers, i need to make them the opposite of the investigators with height. So, my first robber will be Joe. This is because he is rather small in comparison to those who are investigating, therefore it makes sense. And my final robber will be Jack. Again, this is because in comparison to the investigators, he doesn't quite match up to them in terms of size.
Investigators
Richardson (Josh)
Johnson (Luke)
Henderson (Rob)
Robbers
Oliver (Jack)
Reeves (Joe)
Film Treatment
Mr Oliver and Dr. Reeves are setting out to do their biggest mission yet, they're ready to take down a bank. However, the three investigators, Professor Johnson, Richardson and Henderson are on the same wave length as the robbers and have been tracking them for an age. The professors have been gathering information, finding everything there is to find. Once they find the CCTV footage of them scoping out the bank, they begin to track every move they make, and attempt to take them down at the next possible opportunity. After a document leaks online of their schedule to strike the bank, the investigators grab a hold of it, and meet them there.
Target Audience
My target audience is from ages 15-35. This is because after research, this is the age band that likes action and edge of the seat movies. This goes hand in hand with Marvel movies, and it fits in with the demographic. The selling point of the movie is the entertaining aspect as to whether the robbers will be caught and if the investigators can indeed catch them in the act.
