Film Summary

‘Written in Blood’

By Matthew Davison, Megan Haynes,

Hannah Nickless and Josh Weale.

Summary of our two minute film.

The opening of our film begins, with a close up of Josh’s face with tape across his mouth, the camera then begins to zoom out to reveal the surroundings of which appear to be a basement, the camera continues to zoom to reveal Matt in the basement too punching and shouting at Josh ‘Where is she?’ We see Matt continue to torture and beat Josh, and asking continuously ‘where is she’ he then removes the tape from Josh’s face and Josh then says ‘she’s behind you’ at this point Hannah appears in the scene and shoots Matthew in the back, there is a slight pause as Hannah looks at josh. Josh then says ‘thank you for saving me’ Hannah then replies ‘ I didn’t save your life I just made it five seconds longer motherfucker’ after Hannah has shot both of the them she begins to walk out of the basement as the credits roll.

This is the plot for our two-minute film. The idea for our film was inspired by the sex scene in Pulp Fiction (1994) but we have decided to put a different twist on it and set up the characters differently to create more enigma codes, tension and excitement. We have also chosen the basement as a location to create a dark atmosphere, to emphasise the nature of the events that are coming. The crime genre is a very wide-open genre and can include many different aspects; all can offer something different to a different target audience. We have decided to incorporate several aspects of the genre into our film to create a crime film that also falls into the genre of horror and thriller. I think that the use of death and guns are part of a crime film very often but we have tried to twist this by not giving the expected character the guns and instead gave the woman in the film the power by giving her the guns this also incorporates film noir into our film as Hannah becomes a femme fatale.

Our film also includes several enigma codes such as why is Matt torturing Josh? And why does Hannah kills Matt and Josh. This engages the audience and creates excitement in the film .
