Carbonzicium Lollypops Final cut

This is the final cut of our opening sequence, since our rough cut we have re-filmed pretty much everything and the overall length of the footage had to be cut from around four minuets to what it is now. We re-filmed so that there is a better use of mise en scene and so that the lighting is more appropriate to the genre. We also tried to make the narrative of the sequence more clear as that was one of the criticisms we revived when our sequence was first shown.

Rough cut

This is our rough cut we have since improved it by re filming everything whilst trying to keep the narrative the same whilst improving the continuity, titles and the mise en scene. Also in this rough version the footage stops abruptly as all was not edited. This version also doesn't feature any music as that was also still being created.

Animatic

u

This is our original animatic its shows our original story board for our film it features the shot types and and narrative of our original idea. Since this was created we have considerably changed our film for the better as we found this to be unrealistic.

Pitch

Our film shall be called The Chase. John Goodman a middle aged cop who has been trying to stop a well known drug baron for his whole career, however he has been unable to arrest his as his superiors would not allow him for unknown reasons. He has a decades worth of evidence he unable to use until to put Philip Coke behind bars for years, then his superior Commissioner Jones is found dead and has apparently committed suicide. Now John is in charge and intends to brig Philip Coke into custody. John alone goes to Philip’s last know location of residents, Philip flees and John must chase him through the grounds of his tropical beach resort. Philip is caught by John and all seems good until Philip release a small cementation of Carbon Ragrea gas which allows him to escape and leaves John seriously disfigured. John then wakes up five years later in hospital where he is advised by his doctor to not look into a mirror as it would cause too much psychological damage; he is also informed that whilst in his coma his wife and seven children have in killed due to unknown circumstances. Furious and vengeful John escapes from hospital and hunts down the man who ruined his life by any means necessary, whilst trying to avoid the law himself.

The opening sequence shall begin in John’s home panning through several rooms in his house before leaving and fast forwarding to Philip Coke’s resort. John scales the high security wall, Philip then sees the cop who he knows has been after him for years and attempts to flee, a tracking shot follows John as he runs after the suspect and eventually catches him after talking him to the floor. At this point Philip blinds John with a deadly gas and escapes via a helicopter.  

Several Film Noir conventions will be present t including the lead character John Goodman who is not only a hard-boiled detective but also provides narration and voice over’s for much of the film. There will also be several flashbacks in which John remembers happier times with his family. As John must remain incognito to escape from the law hunting him down he put do much of his chasing a night time to avoid detection, so many low key lighting effects and shadows will be used.

An thrilling chase across the country with little time and no hope, one man seeks revenge on the man who ruined his face and his life!
