The document discusses plans for a Polish film called "POŚCIG" with English subtitles. It will begin with a title sequence showing men observing security camera footage and realizing their target is on screen. This will be followed by a chase scene of the target escaping on a bike through fields being chased by thugs in a van. The setting and characters are described, with the goal being to establish mystery around who the main character is and why he is being chased. Genre conventions of Polish and action cinema will be followed, including realistic violence and sex scenes warranting a 15 rating. The film aims to have a fast pace and be distributed by a traditional Polish company to appeal to worldwide art house audiences.
2. POŚCIG
A Polish film with English subtitles. The main theme of our opening scene
is a chase that goes over roads and through fields. It will start with our
title sequence which will be followed by a couple of men in a van or
room observing computer screens showing security cameras. They will
then realise that the man on their screen is actually their target then
they be to chase their target through the scary setting…
3. POŚCIG
The setting is very important so that the man has a chance of escaping we
know the setting very well which makes it a safe bet.
4. POŚCIG
Ideal Characters:
Andy Beckwith- Played a frightening gangster in Snatch
where he intimidated others which is exactly what we need
for our Polish thugs. He is not actually Polish
Marcin Kowalczyk- Discovery of Year (Odkrycie roku)
2012 award nominee after the film You Are God. A young
Polish actor who would be perfect to play the role of the
boy bike.
5. POŚCIG
Enigma codes- The audience will have questions asked of the straight away
for example:
Who is the boy on the bike?
Who are the people chasing him?
What’s in the briefcase?
Why did the need to shoot him?
Where is the set?
Why does he feel the need to run?
6. POŚCIG
Genre- World cinema and Action, we only see the opening to the film
however we still see a chase which instantly shows our audience the
genre of the film. We hope the film will maintain a high pace throughout.
The film will contain some intense violence and intimate sex scenes
which is the reason for our 15 certificate.
We aim to make a low budget typical independent Polish films.. We will
need to make our shots crisp and accurate in order to achieve this.
We will take ideas from other block buster films such as James Bond
and Safe House when making our film. We will use the idea of putting
the title sequence after the first small snippet of action instead of during
the start of the film.
7. POŚCIG
Conventions of Polish cinema we studied:
Sound of gun shots.
Dull lighting.
Our music will have to be fast paced to match our film.
Heavy breathing over music.
8. POŚCIG
Distrubuter
Vivarto- A traditional polish distributor that features at many film festivals
which is the role we believe our film can undertake. A world cinema film
made in the U.K by British students.
9. POŚCIG
Our target audience:
We aim to appeal to as many people as possible above the age of 15, sex and violence
will be included in our film which will attract a range of customers to the film. Also
the nature of these topics and events will require 15 rating as it would be
inappropriate for people under that age to see the content of the film.
