The document proposes ideas for several short film genres including spy thriller, action thriller, crime thriller, cop thriller, and horror. It suggests storylines that involve a bomb defusal scene, fight scene, drug deal, following someone through a police office, and running through woods. The refined idea involves two crime bosses, Bob and Billy, with Billy setting a fake bomb to distract Bob so he can kidnap Bob's daughter, leading Bob to contact a corrupt police officer to solve the crime.

1. {MEDIA STUDIES
PROPOSAL

2. ❧ Spy thriller
Bomb defusal with introducing cut out scene, lot of close ups, a few
longshots. Parallel editing of
❧ Action thriller
Simple fight scene with text appearing when a punch or kick is thrown.
❧ Crime thriller
Drug deal happening, this would involve dialogue.
❧ Cop thriller.
Flow scene through a small police office following one person (like
good fellas).
❧ Horror
Running through into the woods, typical horror clichés
Ideas

3. Cop
• Long flowing shot, up to main character
Inter cut with:
Crime
• Drug deal, SWAT team outside warehouse
Fight scene
-fight to prevent him from defusing
Bomb defuse scene
- fails, clock ticks down
Murder scene
-Woman run through woods calls cops, the main character
answers, heavy breathing on phone. Cut to title scene
Refined Idea

4. There are two kingpins (Bob and Billy) and one of
them wants to drive the other out of business and Billy
does this by setting a fake bomb to distract Bob the
crime-boss from his daughter. Billy then kidnaps the
daughter and Bob contacts a corrupt police officer + to
solve the crime.
