2. SYNOPSIS
‘Flag Chase’ is a dystopian thriller/mystery, which
tells the story of five teenagers, who as part of their
school’s seniors tradition, embark on a quest to
retrieve 5 flags from the woods. Guided by a series of
riddles as clues, they have 10 hours to succeed or be
cast as outsiders for the remainder of their life.
However, things are not as simple as they seem, can
the five of them manage to work together and over
come the twist and turns or will they all fall victim to
the evil lurking behind them?
4. GENRE
We decided on a creating a thriller because it is a
challenge to create a genre film and our group wanted to
push ourselves to try something new and risky. In
thrillers, there is tension, suspense and scares but they
come from real-world understandable reasons taken to
extremes.
We also chose the thriller genre as it will introduce us to
some unique iconography to help make our sequence
more appealing as it is important to keep the audience
captivated during the opening.
5. LOCATION/SETTING
For our location we have decided to film in Alexandra’s
Park. In the evening, a light fog covers the trees
creating a spooky and mysterious view. This will help
make the audience feel tense and uncomfortable as
they sympathise with the characters for being lost with
no way out of the darkness.
The park is large enough for us to film freely and it is a
public location which means we have access to film
there. We will be filming at a time where it is not
crowded to avoid upsetting people if they appear in the
frame. (No need consent.)
7. REASON FOROURFILM
We decided to explore the idea of human nature
and the determination to thrive in society. We
decided to look at teenager in high school where
being popular is seen as most important. We will
be using characters from different cliques to
analyse the relationship between them and expose
if their behaviours and attitudes are a dominant
feature in them or is it just a person conforming
within society.
8. PROPOSAL
U.S.P: Our universal selling point is that it is a
relatable thriller, this would appeal to a wider range
of people, especially young adults because it has
the aspect of life that everyone goes through in
secondary school, this is the desire to belong and
having a form of respect from their peers.
