The document proposes an adaptation of the video game Bioshock into a film. The genre would be mystery thriller to capture the secrets and jump scares of the game. While the budget may be a constraint, the depth of the storyline leaves open opportunities for sequels. The target audience would be gamers and mystery fans ages 15+ who are already familiar with the Bioshock franchise through playing the games. One cinematic idea is to shoot in first person perspective like the game and only see reflections of the main character to match the game's concept.

1. Bioshock the movie

2. My adaptation
• My adaptation is a film version of bioshock
the game.
• I have chosen this as I believe it would make a
great interactive movie just like the games.
• I believe it will make a good film due to the
level of detail in the games which will be good
to convert into a feature length movie.

3. Genre and narative
• The genre I am going for is mystery thriller as the film holds
a lot of secrets and jump scares.
• The subgenre would be thriller as it isn’t overall a scary
adaptation but certain points of intense action will create
the feeling of fear.
• The equilibrium will be when he is on the plane.
• The disruption will be when the plane catches fire.
• The recognition will be when he begins to sink.
• The reaction will be when he sees his reflection in the iced
over door.
• The re-equilibrium will be when he realises he is trapped.

4. Constraints and opportunities
• In this film I think it has a great opportunity to
be made into a sequel by how in-depth the
story line is.
• The constraints is that budget will play a huge
role in the making of it.

5. Target audience
• The target audience for my film is gamers and
mystery-thriller fans.
• I will target the younger audience 15+ as they
have most likely played the games and grown
up with the franchise.

6. Cinematic ideas
• Within my film the basic idea is to have it shot
in first person perspective and to only see the
main actor’s hands and see him through
reflections. I believe this helps go with the
game’s concept.

7. Story boards
• This is my favorite scene where you see Jack
for the first time through a reflection and see
and hear the reaction.
