Set up -
- We are immediately introduced to a man on his telephone, he is portrayed as an electrician looking at a telegraph pole. He is the Protagonist in this short film.
- He gets in his car and drives off
Confrontation -
- The electrician sees a man lying in the middle of the road, so he stops his car to investigate.
- The music suggests that something is wrong as the man on the ground appears to be unharmed.
- Another man appears in the background and attacks the electrician with an axe
- The Antagonists put the electrician in the boot and drive off.
- The antagonists murder two police officers after they get pulled over because of a broken light on the car.
- There is then a car chase in which the Antagonists are being chased by another police car.
- The Protagonist spills petrol over himself in the car boot.
- The Protagonist manages to disabled the cars headlights causing it to crash into a tree.
- The Protagonist then attempts to escape
Resolution -
- The car alarm went off which alerted nearby police
- The Protagonist manages to knock out the Antagonist that had a knife held to his throat.
- The police take the Protagonist back to the telegraph pole (where the film started)
- The Protagonist then dies after the petrol is set alight.
Examples of restricted and unrestricted narrative -
- There is a clear use of restricted narrative when the Protagonist is locked in the boot, showing that he is trapped, and that there isn't much room for him to move in.
- Unrestricted narrative is used when the police arrive, showing that it is a secluded area, which tells us that they are far away from any sign of help/rescue.
- Restricted narrative is being used when the police are being murdered by the Antagonists. We only see what the Protagonist see's in the boot he's locked in, this builds tension and gives us a fine understanding of how he is feeling at the time, because - like him - we are not entirely sure what is going on outside the car.
- Unrestriced narrative is used in the car chase scene. We get a full understanding of what is going on and where they are. At this point, we see more than the characters see.
Binary Opposition -
The Antagonists and Protagonist don't see much of each other in this short film. They meet at the beginning of the sequence when one of the Antagonists is lying on the floor, the Protagonist stops his car and investigates, and this is where we see the other Antagonist that hits the Protagonist with an axe.
One of the Antagonists meets the Protagonist again towards the end of the film, this is where we see the Protagonist manage to escape.
Health and Safety considerations:
Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring
Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people
Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie
We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.
The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.
The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.
