Basic Film Ideas: Planning ?????????????


3 part narrative of my whole film?

A happy setting is created, the murder/kidnapping of a child occurs, a member of family close to the brother realises that the police aren’t doing enough to solve the case and hence forth takes it into his own hands.

The main events I will mention in my film trailer?

The kidnapping/ murder and how it was supposedly planned, the happiness prior to the murder. And sequences of how people tried to track the murder down.

Who are the main characters and how are they involved?

The main characters will be the victim, the family of the victim, the murderer- however I have decided that I want this to be an enigma throughout the trailer and I will establish this through a blurred effect. These will not be the only characters, however they will feature the most.

Which actors will play the central characters? What types of personalities do they seem to have?

A young/childish character who will play the victim, he will come across as happy and outgoing which will add to his level of innocence.

The murderer will be seen as mysterious, will a spontaneous yet intelligent personality

What is the current working title for your film?

“Looking for Luke Maloney”

I want my eventual title to be an accurate representation of what the film is about- for example films like: The imposter, Man on Wire, Catfish all describe the storyline of the film

What may be the central conflict or obstacle for your characters to overcome?

The murderer, how did he do it, why did he do it, why did he do it, when and where did it take place.

How will you finish the trailer so that viewers do not know the ending

Finish with an enigma, leave the audience wondering the outcome- so potentially finish on an intertitle which creates mystery something along the lines of “The story finally meets its end” or “Will justice be found”

What is your tagline?

“Creeping into the depths of mystery”

Which buzzwords will you include to help describe the tone and mood of you film?

Delightfully Gripping

A thrill ride ….

Which review quotes will you include? Who are the reviewers?

From well-established magazine articles

Empire review

Nominations from Bafta awards: Best Independent film
