1. I have proposed a second synopsis draft as I have researched and gathered
more thorough information and ideas. I have also created a storyboard to go
with my synopsis. I will explain everyshot in more detail here as opposed to the
initial synopsis I proposed.
It begins with the opening shot of the film title which I have proposed to call
EZEKIEL. The next 3 or 4 shots will be of newspaper headlines and coloumns
relating to a murders and missing people.Within these shots pictures of
passports,credit cards and weapons will be displayed as part of a dramatic
affect. The last shot fades out to a long shot a business man exisiting a building,
seemingly he has just finished work and is heading home. About 2 seconds later
a photogrpahic shot is taken of this man, as if there is somebody stalking him.
The next shot is a medium shot of the business man walking away. The shot
crosscuts to a long shot of a teenager seen leaving his house. We asume he is a
drug dealer from his actions and dialouge on the phone. He also walks down the
road. The next shot will be a long shot from a car window, as if he is being
followed. We then see him enter a carpark and the shot crosscuts back to the
graphically designed shot of newspapers, police records and finger prints.
Meanwhile there is a soft melody playing in the background similar to the non
diegetic sound in "Luck number sleven". The shot cuts to the business man
entering a dark tunnel, when in the tunnel he hears a noise coming from behind
him, as he turned around the next shot will be a point of view where there is
nothing but darkness seen as a shot. He turns around and seconds later once
the audience feel there is no problem a close up of the business mans facial
expression is seen as he is attacked by an unknown person. The shot cuts the
the teenager now in the carpark waiting for somone, as he is waiting he notices
a car and looks down into the window.He too hears a noise, point of view shot
and looks to see a carpark door open. He turns back around moments later he is
knocked to the floor after being tapped on the shoulders. The last shot is of the
production name, which I propsed to call "EMPIRE PRODUCTION" or
"ENTERPRISE PRODUCTIONS" this will be graphically designed and will wither
fade out or blow up e.g disintegrate dramatically.
The film is based upon two different types of characters, that both cause harm
and suffering to others in society. We have heard from a religious perspective,
that God punished those that are evil and commit crimes. Well I have choosen a
character to play the role of the punisher, as he is portrayed as the reminder of
our sins. He will punish us instead of god. My idea for the name of this opening
title sequence comes from "pulp fiction" The verse of Ezekiel 25:17 relates
massively with the message of our film. God supposidly strikes down those who
are evil. However in the film we see that it is the main character who is the
punisher. Along with that, I have also been inspired by The "Saw" films in the
aspect of follwing the victim and preying on them.
