Film Treatment Idea 1

Opening 2 minutes:
The genre we are using is action, we have chosen this because it is our favourite genre and our favourite films also action including James Bond, and The Bourne Triology. Action is also more exciting to watch and film therefore we feel it would be the best genre to follow.

Our opening shot is a low angle shot of our two characters running through a woods (Ashtead common). We will use a variety of shots which will be short, fast and dramatic. We are doing this to create an atmosphere of speed and intensity. This scene will be a chase scene - we want to go straight into the action to get the audience gripped from the beginning. The person chasing will eventually lose the person trying to escape, the person escaping will then rest up against a tree whilst the chaser is still alert and trying to find him. Eventually the chaser discovers the victim and grabs him from behind a tree whilst pulling his gun out on him. We will use a sound bridge to jump from the woods into a warehouse where the victim will then be interrogated. The chasers secretarys mobile phone then rings with a message saying 'he definitely knows where he is'. The chasers will now turn to the victim shouting agressively 'last chance, where is he?'. The victim previously had taken poison in the woods, when he knew he was going to be captured and interogated; the poison proves to be fatal. The last and final shot is of the dieing victim as his head falls to one side, with a trickle of blood running down from the corner of his mouth.

-The location we have chosen is Ashtead Common - this is because it is a local area, and easy to acess for filming purposes. Their will be an established shot of the warehouse, before we cut inside the building. The set inside the warehouse wont actually be inside a real abonded warehouse, only in a set made to look like it.
- The clothing worn by the victim and the chaser will be casual. This helps them blend into the public before the chase begins.
- The boss and his secretary will be in formal clothing, such as a suit. This gives them a powerfull look, along with high status on society.
- The first prop will be a gun; used to show that the chaser is the person with control and power. The mobile phone will be on speaker phone so that the message can be heard clearly (both audience and actors)
