2 Monotony Reigns Repetition Routine Boredom Every-Day Reigns – Rains Symbolism 2 Words, short snappy easy to remember. Representative of his lifestyleReigns suggests it is controlling his life Importance of numbers, psychological connotations

3 Synopsis: Stuck in the cage of a conformist society where crime over-shadows moral authority Vincent, a lonely office monkey, feels the need to erase petty criminals in increasingly chilling ways in order to escape his mundane, average lifestyle. In a desperate attempt to break free from the shackles of his normal life he finds himself forgetting who he really is. His mind and body walk separate paths when he has to battle his needs against his conscience and remove someone he is previously aquatinted with. Can someone truly possess the power to judge what is right and wrong? Reason behind our synopsis: For our synopsis we went with a kind of “fight club” influenced story effect, showing a characters mental state we believe this forces a bond between character and an audience, if an audience watches our characters routine they can understand his need for thrills and change. Leaving our synopsis with a rhetorical question after providing just enough information to get an understanding of the genre means that we can keep an audience guessing and asking themselves the question. This is a key selling point because it afflicts people on a personal level.

4 3 Act Treatment: Beginning – We are introduced to the anti-hero protagonist and his repetitive lifestyle. We gradually see him becoming frustrated with his job and every-day life. A change begins to arise in his character that sets up the atmosphere for the middle and end of the film. Middle – The characters changes lead him to escape boredom and routine and commit his first murder of a petty criminal, this motivates his addiction to the adrenaline from killing and he commits further acts similar to the first. The protagonist finds interest in a woman who conceals a secret from him. He unveils her secret and faces the dilemma of weather to set her free from an oppressive force or let her continue living a lie, but discovers that she is content with her private affairs. End- He struggles to decide how to follow up her confession and whether to help her even though she is adamant she doesn’t need assistance. However our anti-hero decides to take action against this woman’s mystery employer with fatal consequences. Reasoning behind 3 act treatment: The beginning is an introduction and relationship building act. Its purpose is to establish the protagonist and his features and set the mood for the middle and end. As well as our planned title sequence it is used for characterisation. The middle is designed to get the story flowing and understand the protagonists habits and changes, this is where more characters can be introduced (instead of immediately as we want our audiences to have a stronger relationship with our anti-hero so we introduce him earlier, more time spent with a character is equal to more time to build a bond or relationship with them.) The story twists here and sets up the finale. The end produces some fast, thrilling dilemmas that get the audience on the edge of their seats. Our ending is structured to be one that will not leave an audience disappointed, in our opinion a good productive piece of media is one that people come away from having enjoyed the whole production from the first second to the last, this is what we aim for as the epic finale commences.

5 “Mind, Body. 2 Paths. 2 Choices.” Our unique selling point is a tagline that would be used to promote our production. This tagline is deigned to tick many boxes: Firstly it has to be short and consist of only nouns and numbers. This gives the tagline a psychological feel or trick to it. Since our production is based around a psychological thriller feeling this seemed well thought out and connected. It also had to be somewhat relative to the character and storyline of the production, The battle between mind and body displayed in our character made the first two words of our tagline appropriate. This is followed by the repetition of the number 2 hinting at the repetition of our characters original lifestyle as well as being a literary repetition of the number 2 and emphasising the fact that our character will have dilemmas and therefore options or solutions (most probably 2).
