Possibile Narrative - 1

The first possible narrative was put forward by Charlie, and although overused, can easily be produced and gives us the opportunity to show our skill in filming and truly take advantage of our location, of which we wish to use China Town and the centre of London, in combination with dark, desolate locations. The narrative goes as follows -

1) There is a police officer who has been chasing his rival for a long time - there is a personal rivalry between the two as the antagonist has killed/fatally injured someone close to the protagonist, but as he thinks he has finally reached his rival and is able to kill him he breaks down the door and see's him dead in his apartment/accommodation.
2) There is some sort of lead in the room which takes our protagonist to his next target, as he starts his tangent to get revenge on everyone who was involved in the death/injury of his partner
3) As he rises up the ranks, he becomes more and more embroiled in the danger of the situation and starts to look for a way out.

If this is the narrative we eventually choose, the acts of the trailer will be very similar indeed to that of Welcome to The Punch. The opening, establishing shots of all three acts was something the three of us were all massive funs of and something we wish to replicate in our trailer - although this may not be possible to the extent that Welcome to The Punch does, we will certainly do our best to make something similar.

Also similar to Welcome to The Punch we will follow the regular 3 act structure - with the first act introducing the main character or any accomplices he has. The second would then disrupt the continuum, showing both the death of the protagonists partner and the original antagonists death - finishing with the lead to the rest of his targets. As with many film trailers, we will have the third act as a montage involving chase scenes throughout the city, but unlike other films of the genre we will have these cut up with slower paced shots - giving the film an Arthouse filming type of feel but with a very much mainstream genre and narrative. Locations such as the shot of china town in Hummingbird and the previously mentioned Welcome to The Punch shot will be used proficiently.
