As a group we have developed and discussed the main ideas involved within our film. From looking at our initial ideas on the prezi, we combined and shaped particular factors to create a continuous and chronological storyline. We could then link different sections of our story to develop an intriguing and diverse plot which will leave the audience thrilled and wanting to see more. After knowing our narrative we knotted the different sections in different orders to create a sense of focused confusion and enigma. Here are the four parts to our storyline:
Part 1 - Ransom Video (Present):
This first scene is set in the present and will picture a hostage tied to a chair with a sack over his head in a terrorist situation. Here the terrorists are holding the hostage for ransom and in result are making a ransom video. This scene follows on till the superior terrorist puts a gun to the hostages head and a shot is fired (it then cuts to part 2 or the film). In this scene no questions are answered, an enigma is created as the audience are left in the dark - not knowing who these people are, why they are there or what they want. The setting for this scene will be in a dark, isolated and derelict room/building - a great place to use for this scene would be the basement of the manor at school. The basement is a very dark and isolated place which would be an advantage in creating a eerie atmosphere through the use of shadows and general shabby, run-down effect.
Part 2 - Kidnapping (Past):
When the shot is fired at the end of part 1 there is a flashback - this kidnapping scene is set in the past and will be explaining and answering some of the audiences questions. This scene involves the main character (hostage in part 1) with another companion in a small, claustrophobic room taking class A drugs, such as heroin and cocaine. The audience now know how these characters are involved with the terrorists; these two characters are involved in drug trafficking and instead of selling the drugs and paying the terrorists the money, they have been using the drugs themselves for personal use. Their drug taking is interrupted when a sudden bang is heard (a door being knocked down), this then leads up to the characters running out of the building and a chase scene through a woods outside. When running through the woods one of the terrorists jumps out and suddenly knocks the main character out - this cuts to a black out and follows on to part 3.
Part 3 - Torture Scene (Past):
The torure scene carries on from part 2 and is still in the past. The hostage (main character) wakes up to find himself tied up to a chair in a tiny room with just one hanging bulb as a source of light. There is another man in the room - this is the torturer - he is stood next to a table smoking and observing his tools of torture. This scene prolongs showing the intimidation the torurer is creating and the fear of the main character. When the hostages face is slashed and blood splatters on the wall the clip quickly blacks out and cuts back to the last shot of part 1 (when the gun is pressed to the hostages head). This is the beginning of part 4. For this scene, again the basement in the manor can be used as the low key light is vital in this scene to create fear and uneasiness to the audience.
Part 4 - Ending (Present):
This is set in the present, in the same scene as part 1and in perspective is actually just continuing from part 1. The last shot from part 1 when the gun is pressed against the hostages head and a shot is fired is now repeated. Following with a short black out. However, this now continues with the hostage opening his eyes and realising he has not been shot. The terrorists are confused with who has fired a gun and the superior terrorist orders his guards to search and find who it is. A terrorist grabs the sack and wraps it over the hostages head. The rest of this scene will be shown through a point-of-view shot of the hostage looking through the sack; all he can see is blurry figures and sudden flashing lights - he can hear shouting and guns rapidly firing. All this soon comes to a halt and there is silence and no movement. A single blurry figure stands infront of him and a flash of white light overcomes the screen as the sack is taken off his head.
This is the ending to our film. We intend on leaving the audience stunned, yet intrigued to find out who this man was and what happens next.
