A possible distributor for our film
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UbZlGelOtxKg91F8SGtCSdhn73NzDh8CcfTQZd_dMAw/edit?usp=sharing
In depth description of the story
In depth storyline
For our storyline we had an idea in mind about having the
general plot about hacking and a heist as we had a rush of cinematography,
editing and mise en scene ideas. This synopsis will describe the plot we had in
mind along with a director’s commentary which will be in brackets and italics.
3 Minutes
was our rough idea of duration so we would have dedicated around a minute per
act.
Act 1
Scene fades from black in a dark room where at the other side
a person can be seen profusely concentrating whilst quickly using a keyboard as
if they know exactly what they’re doing (our
general consensus here is that we personally favour when a story opens with a
scene that makes no sense initially but then later as the story is played back,
this first scene will fall into play and make perfect sense to the viewer. This
can be used by placing text such as “2 hours earlier” after this first scene.
This overall gives a sense of satisfaction to the viewer as they have the
feeling of solving a puzzle)
Slow moving shots could then be established over the person’s
shoulder looking at the screen with command line hacking (I found this source that can easily create this effect at http://hackertyper.net/ which allows the user to input random keys that
appear as hacking text) a natural key lighting would be used that is emitted
by the monitors light shining on the person and around the room which also
draws attention to the monitor within this setting.
After this, the hacker then is rewarded with an access
granted page (done by holding the Alt
key on the http://hackertyper.net/ website) followed by them celebrating. (The fade to black after this into act 2
can also connote an ending which is key for later in act 3 when the story
catches up with itself)
Act 2
(Again, using this idea
of adding “ X amount of time earlier”) Screen fades to black pane that
displays white text stating 5 hours earlier (This
gives a blurb of the story to the viewer which they can piece together as the
following 2 acts play out) Then a wipe transitions this text screen by
using a real world object such as a door, wall or tree to establish a daylight
and natural setting that is calm with no characters in any type of frantic
panic or rush, there will be three characters in this scene. (This then creates a complete juxtaposition
between this act and the prior one) The group discuss the idea of a USB
that has possibilities to modify any grades in college for any student but one
of the most secure encryptions known.
They will then further the plot by discussing ways of getting hands on it, its
‘rumoured’ location and any one associated.
Act 3
(Since this film seems
to be following a non fiction story then we would edit many everyday tasks into
montages to avoid any irrelevant scenes, known as elliptical editing) The
three characters then discuss the benefits of this USB and decide they must get
their hands on it. After this a sequence begins showing them devising a plan to
steal the USB (Small touches of whit
comedy can be used hear in order to further character development and portray
which character has which traits, for example intelligent, dumb etc.) This
sequence will only consist of one or two scenes. After this, a montage sequence
can begin showing them stealing the USB, this will consisting of seeing each
character’s role, in this case is: the hacker stealing the USB, lookout who
will be monitoring CCTV and lastly a distraction to keep any teachers away. The
person then gets the USB however the distraction and lookout are both
discovered for what they’re both really doing. This then leaves the final
character with the USB to panic and rush home to immediately modify the grades.
This character then enters the room scene in act 1 where everything has then
pieced together and fades to black and ends.

Cold Awakening
Cold Awakening
It starts
off with Marcus walking with a hand held camera, just randomly filming their journey.
They camera is pointed to his face, he hears a noise and looks around. He then
beings to run hearing his heavy panting and the camera pointed on the floor. Then
the camera drops and rolls on the floor, the view from the camera is upside because
it landed the wrong way. You see Marcus fall on the floor with a bloody lifeless
face, facing towards the camera.
Then it
shows you the previous day. It shows you Marcus with Lewis, his best friend
playing cards in room, laughing and talking etc. then they start explaining
what had happened and how they ended up with just them too.
They say
how that people got killed off by a disease and they don’t know why they
survived. They start thinking why, what
made them so special. Then they realize that they were both approached by a
man. A man who wore a hoodie and kept mysterious. They both mentioned the man
both grabbed them and firmly on the right wrist as he walked past them.
They both
pulled up their right sleeve and it showed 3 dots in the same place with slight
bruising around them. It must have been something to do with that that guy but
why them?
It came to
the next morning Marcus went out for a walk around to try find some people. Lewis
stayed back because he didn’t feel safe going outdoors so he stayed inside. Then
the phone rings. He looks at it, confused and shocked. In his panic he answers.
A raspy
voice answers after Lewis’ timid “hello”.
The man say
“remember me, I am the reason you and your “friend” are still here. Now listen
to me and listen good. Your friend is about to kill you so if you want to carry
on breathing, I suggest you should do something about it” the phone call ended.
He hung up the Lewis still held the phone to his face shocked and nervous. He didn’t
know whether to believe it or not but then he thought that why would he go out
so early ? he never does that.
So he left
the house armed with an axe, he remembered that Marcus said he was going to the
forest for something, so he made his way down. He kept in the trees making sure
he wasn’t visible to him. he noticed that Marcus was recording for some reason.
Lewis accidently dropped his axe as he was moving carefully and quietly. Marcus
stopped, looked around. Then ran. Lewis chased after him with the axe in his
hand desperately trying to catch up to him. He did. All it took was a sharp
blow to the head. And marcus was down, bleeding and lifeless.
