OUR MAIN INFLUENCES
This influenced us through the narrative and plot twist in our
film.
The ideas of a hit man and stealing
artwork in this film were key influences.
The revenge themes and filming
techniques that are used were also
influences.
The crime and artwork used in this
film helped us to decide on key aspects
of our film.
“a large sum of money”“she’s selling a famous painting”
“calls a hit man to kill Jenny”
TREATMENT PART 1
“around Brighton”
TREATMENT PART 2
“a fast paced chase”
TREATMENT PART 3
“the hit man and Jenny are actually husband and wife”
“they chose money over love”
“they decide on a final showdown”
OUR USP
The main components that draw in our audience is our use of postmodern techniques such as pastiche and hyper-realty, we have also included a major plot twist to entice our audience and keep them on the edge of their seats.
