Location and plot

Initial idea for the characters: Personally I feel there should be one central protagonist that the film follows to introduce him to the audience and make it as clear and precise as possible to what group of society he belongs to.


 My character will be a young male aging from 16-18 and he will be fairly timid and shy, only to mix in with the wrong crowd and make multiple bad decisions that changes his life forever and attitude to life in general. Once a reserved boy, now full out demon to society. He won’t be satisfied till blood has been drawn.

 During the opening sequence I will concentrate on keeping my character shy and vulnerable, and create tension using mid pace music as he gets on the train to create an element of warning and fear for the consumers to give them a good idea of what this film has to produce. Initial location ideas The opening sequence will be set in England and the time will be present day.

 My first and best location possibility is Thames mead also known as the concrete jungle, the location is mainly made up of concrete platforms and flats. I feel this will work best as my opening sequence requires an urban area and an open space for parkour and free running elements. This would suggest that the film will be set on fast pace editing and many tracking shots creating a certain audience expectation and it would hint at what genre this film is. The use of a train station in my opening sequence is to set up the chase; the passing of the train will indicate when this chase shall begin.

 Initial plot: At this moment in time I don’t want to give away too much about the 

openingsequence its self but the plot is that a 16 year old male rings up his friend and the friends mothers answers telling him how her son has been killed mid way through conflict in the London riots, this makes the main character leave London due to the stress and violence seeking for a better life and expressing his feelings through parkour.
