Preliminary Ideas for Short- 8ball

Foucsing on an Action British film, there seems to be a trend in fast-moving shorts with the representation of the stereotypical Britain. This could include scenery such as London or the Countryside or our well-known English accent. The increase in global viewers for British film has increased, aswell as it increasing in the U.K itself.

Our short film for 8-ball is to give a brief and sharp insight into the Movie. Shocking the audience with powerful scenes which cover the "over-all" storyline and structure of the film. Leaving enigma codes that have been picked carefully to raise opinion. Trying to be as similair to how the present films of this nature in the industry, created there film. This will then hopefully tempt the viewer into watching this as a whole.

The film will inlucde an oppening to the protagonist's life. It will seem "clean" with a slight hint of average behaviour in the character, but nothing to "cheesy", we feel this could clash with who he realy is. The piece will be struck into darkness with an ambient sound after we see him smile, acting in his "fake" life. a gun click will be heard in the darkness aswell as people talking, nearly shouting at each other in a panic. A bright light will then strecth across the screen and the greasy face of a man will appear in a big close-up shot, he will then state " so this is the guy?" It will be appear as if he is performing surgery to the viewer. This will apear as a catchphrase within the film, he will be reffered to by "the guy" a lot of the time, saying "he's the guy" or "thats the guy". After this short clip the music will suddenly drop into a fast beat with a catchy melody, . There will be narating over the music from the scenes which are shown, though famous speeches in the movie will continue for longer over the other scenes that are being shown. This continued voice will appear relevant for what is being shown. For example there will be a scene where the character is being told of a "great drug robbery waiting for him to snatch" and as this voice is describing it, we will be seeing the robbery itself, the drugs, guns firing and so on. Sudden scene changes will be relevant for the film, trying to fit in the best shots to keep the audience occupied. Towards the peak of action the screen will turn to black and the music will stop then red bold letters of "8 ball" will appear. The main character will then be seen shooting an 8 ball into a snooker hole aftert this. It will then turn black again.
