The document outlines a plot for a film about an athlete who strives for success after past losses and defeats. It will follow his journey through training to eventual victory. The opening sequence will show clips of rowing races and then focus on the athlete's early morning training regimen, depicting him doing rowing exercises and weight training. The tone will be a feel-good underdog story using lighting to convey a sense of overcoming darkness. The target audience will be athletes, fans of success stories and rowing, and those interested in sports films, particularly males under 35 interested in the weight training aspects.

2. Outline to the plot
The plot is about an athlete
who strives to succeed, he is
motivated by his losses. It’s
a success story, so we will
follow him through the
story to victory.

3. Detailed breakdown of the opening
sequence
• The opening clips will be clips from rowing events, showing
winning/ losing.
• Will fade to black from clips of the boat race, and then will
start the training sequence by an alarm clock going off
• We watch the athlete go off to training in the early
morning
• And then follow him through a training session. We will
watch him row on a rowing machine, do weights such as
leg press, squats and bench press.

4. What style/tone I am aiming for
• For it to attract to the larger sports genre
audience than the niche market of just
rowing fans, I will have to include quick
paced cuts to keep all audiences
interested.
• The atmosphere I want to create through
my film opening is a feel good but serious
movie. I will use lighting to create a sense
of the underdog. It will have darkness with
patches of light in the shots, to be a visual
representation for success from nothing.

5. My target audience
My target audience will be all athletes, fans of success
story's, rowing fanatics, and other people with a
link/interest for these genre of films.
Mainly aimed at a younger than 35 audience, who are
interested in sports, in particular rowing.
More males will be attracted to this film because the
training will include doing a lot of weights which is
attractive to a more male audience
