This document discusses the key elements of crime films and provides an example of a proposed short crime film. It notes that crime films typically introduce criminals and law enforcement, show the fall of the villain through action and violence, and feature vehicles like cars and motorcycles. The example film proposes a 3-5 minute story about a young man who is abducted from his home and held hostage in the basement while his parents receive a disturbing phone call. The intended audience is described as those 16 and older who enjoy crime and thriller movies similar to Kidnap and Taken.

2. The main characteristics of a crime
film:
• Introduction of criminals
• Introduction of cops/hero
• Fall of villain
• Action
• Innocent people that get hurt
• Guns
• Robbery
• Violence
• Sport cars/ police cars/ trucks
• Motorbikes

3. Movies such as Snitch, Kidnap and Den of thieves inspire me because
they are action packed and they have a good storyline. Well known
celebrities(Dwayne J, Halle Berry, O’shea J and 50Cent) who interest
me are also included in these types of movies which makes them more
enjoyable for me.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The TA for these types of movies is people who love drama,
action and suspense, especially when watching Kidnap.
The only difference between Kidnap the rest of these movies
is that its a female who is the main character and there's not
a lot of gun violence.

4. In my film I want it to be action packed and I want it to be eye catching with a good storyline.
Since its going to be 3-5 min its going to be about a young person walking home from a night
out you will see him walking to his door and a from far will see him opening (will be like
someone's watching him from a corner) his door and entering then he will come back out as if
he's looking for someone then slowly back up in his house then out of the bushes in front of
him a person with a gun will enter with him in the home pointing the gun at him.
The camera will then switch to the basement where he boys being help he's tied up on the
chair… his phone will begin to ring and the screen will say mom the camera will then go to the
parents house and they calling him and then finally someone who isnt their son will answer the
phone and they are asking questions but the person is not talking just heavy breathing then all
of a sudden the phone cuts off. The parnts are just staning there in shock.
The camera will be at feet level and you see the parent running out the door the camera will be
in the living room window and you see them get in the car as soon as they close the car doors
the camera cuts off.
