Title Of Final Project

I have finally decided my title for the final project and it is...

MISSING PACKAGES

I have chosen this name because the whole storyline is based around a 'missing package'.

Get it? ahaha...

Oh dear. 

Hope you like it!

There are a number of different clips of scenes and crimes taking place in my final project and here is the list:

Script For The Final Project


SCENE 1 - Opening Sequence (Int. Dark)

There has been a series of crimes committed recently and one of them is an extremely serious event, which took place in the Houses of Parliament. There has been a package taken from there. It is unsure who took the package and how, however it is Laurene’s mission to get it back.

Interrogation – Flashforward (Int. Dark)

Inside. Laurene is holding Dosh Longrin up against a wall, using interrogation to get answers out of him.

Laurene
Where’s the package?

Dosh Longrin
(Looking extremely confused and bewildered)
What package? I haven’t got a package.

Office Environment (Int. Dark)

Jo
Laurene, yesterday there was an extremely serious criminal offense committed in the Houses of Parliament. A package was taken from The Prime Minister's Office, which contained highly secure documents. We aren’t sure who has taken this package, but whoever it is won’t get away with it. There are a number of suspects who may have committed this crime and it’s your job to find them. I have a profile of 5 criminals who’re possibilities of the offense.

Interrogation – Flashforward (Int. Dark)

Heavy breathing from both men are heard and struggles are made from Dosh as Laurene holds a gun to his head.

Office Environment (Int. Dark)

Jo
Firstly, we have a highly skilled man, mainly involved in bank robberies, however he knows all of the tricks on how to enter buildings without being caught. He goes by the name of Dosh Longrin aka ‘Gaff’ as he is also known. He is wanted for millions, however no one is able to catch him.

Secondly, we have Vladmimir Minsk of the Russian Mafia, also known as Thundersteel. He is also a highly skilled criminal, well known for steeling jewellery from many expensive areas. He also owes thousands back to the government, however he manages to leave the scene without a trace.

 The third suspect is extremely unusual as he makes a clear entrance, yet it is unclear to what he takes whilst he is inside. He goes by the name of Smashup Frobo and is well known in the criminal world. He is highly respected by other villains.

 Aside, from the men, we have a woman who is extremely well known for car theft and she goes by the name of The Hay Meister. She manages to pick her moment and pounce when the time is right, however she hides her thefts too well and the cars are never found or seen again.  

Last but not least, Mrs Fangtastic, also high up in the car theft business, however she goes for larger vehicles such as vans as they work well in the long run to hide stolen goods. She has been caught a few times however, managed to escape and has never been seen since.

Your mission Laurene is to find out which of them did it. But for god’s sake, please don’t go on a killing streak. Report back to me with the verdict.

Laurene gets up and leaves; ready to take on the mission.

Interrogation – Flashforward (Int. Dark)

Laurene
Well then, have we any last words?

Dosh Longrin
It wasn’t me, I swear!

Laurene
Save your breath

Laurene cocks the gun ready to shoot.

Dosh Longrin
It wasn’t me, I don’t have the package, but I know who does

Laurene holds the gun closer to Dosh’s head and looks him in the eyes.

Dosh Longrin
You’ll find them at 24 Park West Side, just past the canal, if you go now, they’ll be there

Laurene backs away from Dosh.

Dosh Longrin
Am I free to go then?

Laurene gives an evil laugh.

Bond
Nice try

Laurene then shoots Dosh.

Storyboard For Final Project









Title

I am just about to scan in my storyboard, however I am struggling to think about how the gun shot at the end could replicate a James Bond style ending to an opening sequence as he normally shoots and then the bullet then trails off into the title sequence. 

In my film, i've got a two shot of the men and then Bond says "Nice try" and shoots, however I want it to look realistic, so once I upload my storyboard could you please give me some ideas?

Thanks!

Train Spotting

For my final project, I am going with the idea that Train Spotting uses as the use of the montage and freezeframes are extremely effective at the start.

During my montage of the villains, I am going to use freeze frames to address to the audience who they are, enabling the audience to realise who Bond has got when he corners him in the flashback scene.

Here are the freezeframes:







I particularly like the last one as the 'head turn' builds up suspense for the audience.

Plan

I am currently drawing up storyboard sheets, however I have also managed to plan out some actors/actresses and locations.

Here are the characters that i've planned out, however only a few have confirmed so once I have more finalised characters I will update you. Here are the 'chosen ones':

Bond - Luke Brocklesby
Em - Joanne Dowson

Villains
1.  - David Dowson
2. - John Lindsay
3. - Paul Soler
4. - Jessica Hay
5. - Kathryn Dowson

YES. I have decided to star in my own film, however I will have to get someone reliable to film my spot!

I have also thought up some locations, however I will also have to confirm these with the owner:

Crime 1 and 2 - Dark room
Crime 3  - Behind Coxhoe High street
Crime 4 and 5 - Industrial Estate

Flashback Scene  - Coxhoe Club
Office Scene - My Dining Room

The crimes are top secret until I find out whether it is possible to do them all...So stay posted for more information!
