The storyline follows the protagonist 'Alex Harris' as he fights against a future government. The film is set in the year 2030 where music has been made illegal by the British government due to it's over-whelming influence on youth culture. Alex tries to fight this control by buying 'tracks' to put on illegal raves and parties. He has to make a deal with a mobster called 'Marcell Wallis' - who deals music as if it were drugs - but Alex soon finds he's in over his head. There will be a moral theme to the production, making it slightly didactic.
AUDIENCE
age: roughly 16-50gender: mainly male target audience but not solely reliant.
lifestyle: I expect to achieve an audience that have an interest in indie/art films as the narrative is quite complex and to understand the intertextual references the audience will have to have quite a broad knowledge of film.
Socio-economic group: Lower to Middle class as they tend to favour social realist films.
GENRE
Crime/Drama/Social Realist
I have chosen to use the film 'Jackie Brown' as the genre influence of my film, as I want it to have a similar feel and include elements of each of these genres.
NARRATIVE
Originally I wanted to create a film which was non-linear in terms of narrative but I soon found during planning that this was impractical with a low budget and a short amount of time. My respondents brought up the concern that over a short film the narrative may become far too confusing if the time line jumps around too much. Taking this into concern I have decided to keep the storyline linear however using intertextual referencing like 'Film Noir' to time jump. For example; the scene where the deal is made will be shot in monotone with cliched props and outfits.
