Audience Research

The feedback I received from my audience research helped me decide what type of ending my film would have and how the problem would be resolved. So this audience research helped and i changed and altered the ending of my trailer.

StoryBoard and Sequence Analysis

My Proposal

For my storyline I have decided that I will have a main character (John) who is living his everyday normal life.  One night he is returning from a party, he decides to help a man on the street who looks like he is in need of help. He in fact asks for a lift from John.
 John gives him a lift and the man turns out to be an escaped convict. He takes John at gun point and tells him to take him to his house, from here on John encounters numerous problems.  This leads to him planning numerous ways in which he could escape. John eventually takes the escaped convict to his house.
John is now held hostage at his house. Luckily his friend (Saad) notices him park up with a stranger who has his face covered.  Straight away Saad realises something is not right so he follows John but comes in through the back door.  Saad sees John tied up to a chair inside his own house.  Saad tries to free John by taking out the escaped convict by using a weapon. First he needs to find where he is. Eventually Saad takes him out but has to work secretly in the house.
By the end of the film the convict is caught tied up and handed into the police.
