First Attempt



This is our finished film, it is still needing sound and a couple of reshoots in areas. All in all i think this was a good first go at our filming and editing but with a few simple changes i think that we could improve it.

First filming session

We have recorded the first little bit of of opening scene of our film opening, we went out to Rebecca's nans house and recorded the first part of the hired hitman to walk across the front of the house as if to look like he is patrolling the area and keeping a eye out for people who could catch him in the act.

The next shot is of the man walking up to the door at the side of the house picking at the lock to gain entrance to house the camera angle at this point is a close up of the mans hand picking the lock and walking into the house.

we also record our dramatic scene of the women in the window looking out into the road, she is wearing the key around her neck we also show a close up of this.

This is all the recording we manage to fit in to this one session but we will be recording again when our next opportunity is.

Three act structure

Act 1, in the first act of our movie opening we will have a mysterious man breaking into a house which makes it clear to the audience that this man is clearly a criminal of sorts but are yet to find out his main crime.

Act 3, we will introduce a women to the scene and a key necklace, the man is now inside her house and is looking around for not only a weapon but the key. He finds the key around her neck and goes at her with the weapon.

Act 3, the man has attacked the women and taken the necklace, the closing shot will be of the women appearing to be dead but is left unknown as weather she is dead or just unconscious.

Who, What, Where, When and Why

Who are the main characters?

The main characters in our opening film will be a young women called Anne, she will be playing the rightful owner of this key until it is brutally taken from her. The second main character will the hired hit man who has been paid by a very powerful man (who remains unknown) to set out and find this key to bring back to his employer.

What is main storyline?

We played around with a couple of ideas when we where planning but the one we chose was a simple action, adventure thriller genre movie smilier to a Lara Croft film. In this opening it will start with a confusing but logical entrance to bring the audience in and wanting to know what is going to happen and where this will lead.

Where will our filming take place?

The location we have chosen to film in will be Rebecca's nans house, we have chosen this location due to the sort of house it is which is detached, open and old looking on the outside.

When will we start filming?

It has been hard for our group to arrange a exact date for the filming of our opening scene due to busy time tables and out of school plans but we are hoping to start recording early march.

Why?

Everything that we have planned all has a reason and purpose which means that if we follow our plans and ideas it will go to plan and hopefully be able to come together and create a descent opening to out film. the reason why we have chosen this storyline is because its a rather simple idea but where it lacks storyline we are hoping to make up with it by using camera angles to make it a more thrilling movie.

Treatment

The Key

By Conner Bradley

We chose the working title "The Key" because it has a action thriller sort of ring to it. The title fits well with our screen play because the whole purpose of film is about this mysterious key that people want what it unlocks.

Log line

The Key is a action based thriller starring Rebecca Blackledge as a young defenceless women who has been given a key in which has been left behind for her, also starring is Conner Bradley a hired man sent to obtain this key and what it unlocks with any means possible!
