Plot Ideas

Focusing on the brief that we have been given to “produce a promotion package for a new film, to include a trailer together with a film magazine front cover, featuring the film and a poster for the film.” Our target audience are London based and aged sixteen to twenty four and are predominantly female.
The main genre for our film is thriller; therefore a possible title for our film needs to create thrill and excitement for our target audience without them seeing for the film and get them to think ‘yes I must go and watch this film’ as well as fit in with our sub-genre. As a group we decided our sub-genre is action.

Possible Title for the film:-

Ø  Absence / Absent

Ø  Anonymous / Nameless

Ø  Unforeseeable

Ø  Unexpected/ Unpredictable

Plans for the plot following the narrative theory of Tvzetan Todorov who believes all stories have three stages and a five part plan. 

Three Stages:- 

1st Stage - Equilibrium: everything is balanced, things are going well and all is fine

2nd Stage - Disruption: something goes wrong, someone has gone on a quest or a journey, a new person comes to town, the couple have had an argument

3rd Stage - Re-Equilibrium: things are balanced again, it may be different from the start but all is fine. The protagonist may have undergone a character shift. 

Five Part Plan:-
