Task 4 The Pitch: Subject: X - Synopsis

Genre: Action Thriller

Narrative:                 A male protagonist (Subject: X) is chased through the city by the antagonist after obtaining a data cell from an evil organisation. The chase continues on whilst the protagonist is in contact with 'Voice' getting instructions on how to escape. They lose communication with each other and 'Subject: X' gets lost in the city, they look frantically for a way out but to no avail. They are backed into a corner by the antagonist (Chaser) and the screen cuts to black. Despite not being shown, the audience know that 'Subject: X' gets shot as a gunshot rings out during the title screen. The following scene is that of the Protagonist comatose in a hospital bed with 'Chaser' in the room. A doctor (Doc) enters and he converses with 'Chaser' about the data cell before the opening sequence ending.
                                

Location:       St. Editha's Church
                                   Various Town Centre Locations
                                    Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form Medical Room

Audience:              12A Due to dark themes (death & medical experimentation) and violence.

Representation:     Our film clearly follows the codes and conventions of the Action/Thriller genre. The sexuality of all characters is presumed to be heterosexual males as no homosexual deviances are shown, this is one of the most important conventions to follow within this genre. The nationality of the main protagonist is British and carries a posh, upper class accent, much like the stereotypical spy as seen in the classic James Bond films. The antagonist is also clearly identifiable as they are wearing dark clothing which represents their mindset and evil nature. We have managed to challenge one of the codes and conventions by having 'Voice' as a male in a stereotypically female role (an example of this being 'M' in James Bond).
