Narrative
The
film Bound by Blood will be in a linear narrative as this construction would be
the most clearest in terms of the audience understanding the film.
Equilibrium
The
film starts off with the protagonist getting home from work and finding his
house in a mess. He then after seeing the mess begins to call for his brother
as he is expecting to see his brother at home, whilst there is no answer to the
protagonist calling his brother, instead the protagonist receives a phone call.
Disruption
The
protagonist answers the phone only to hear the unknown voice of the antagonist
say that his brother has been kidnapped and the only was he can retrieve him is
if he gives something in return, which in this case is all the business
documents and contracts of all of his businesses. So the protagonist is ready
to take this step and so does by packing his briefcase with all the
documentation and contracts. After thinking for a while he begins to move and
therefore leaves his house and reaches the location of the antagonist after
using the bus to get to the specific location and at the same time looks at his
brother’s pictures. As he reaches the location he walks into the dark room and
immediately spots that a hostage has been tied to a chair with his head and
face covered in a black plastic bag, who he presumably believes is his brother.
The protagonist then signs the contract and hands them over to the antagonist.
The antagonist then after a short while hits the protagonist on the back of her
head and runs out of the room. The protagonist straight away gains his
conscience and unties the hostage only to find out that it is not his brother.
The protagonist then chases the antagonist. He tries to shoot but misses and then
eventually the protagonist catches the antagonist and takes him to the ground…
New Equilibrium
Takes
the mask off and to his shear disbelief, sees his brother behind this
mask.
Costume, hair and
Make-Up
The
costume, hair and make-up associated with our short film are:
- A smart business type suit worn by the Protagonist
- The antagonist will wear jeans with a top, as well as a dark hat and a mask/balaclava to suggest that he is the criminal and that he has the complete opposite personality of the antagonist
- The hostage’s identity will be covered with a black, plastic bag
The Location
The
different locations that we will tend to be using are:
- The Media Studio within the college, which will be useful for lighting
- Areas in Tottenham, as this location represents the social class of the antagonist
- Protagonist’s House
- Bus Stop
- College car park
Camera
We
will be using a variety of camera angles and shots within the scenes of the
film, these specific camera angles and shots will be those of which are
conventional to the genre of Action Thriller. The shots we will be including
are shots such as point of view shots and we will also being using a lot of
medium and long shots throughout the film. The angles we use will depend on
which character’s perspective the camera is aimed at, this would signify which
character has power over the other. We will also be using a lot of camera
techniques such as panning and crane movements, as well as tilts. These
techniques will have a great effect on the understanding of the film.
Sound
The
sound within our film will mainly be diegetic as the film will mainly consist
of dialogue, we will also being using background music, however this will also
be diegetic as this is music that the character will be listening to which is
eventually absorbed into the background as background music. We will be using a
pitch equalizer to change the antagonist’s voice on the phone.
Editing
We
will be using the software Final Cut Pro for editing, this is due to the fact
that it will provide the best quality needed. We will be adjusting the font of
the titles as well as adding credits. Our editing will consist of a variety of
techniques such as sound effects while the gun is being used, we will also be
using fast cuts to enhance the realism and continuity of the film. During the
scene where the protagonist gets hit on the head with the gun, we will see the
screen blur as he wakes from the perspective of the protagonist. We will also
be using fast cuts during the chase scene to build to the effect. The voice of
the antagonist is going to be modified so that the protagonist does not
recognise it.
