Connor Chadwick - Final Major Projects (2013)

On 2nd May 2013, One Life Remaining had to stop production.

The reason for this was due to timing issues with filming, we were behind schedule and we had cancel the production.

For my Final Major Project Hand-In (10th May), I will be handing in "Assignment 002".

The paperwork is featured previously on this blog.

We have now completed scripting fully and made a start on filming.

On Tuesday 19th March, we started filming the fight scene for the film.

On 23rd March, I will be completing Michael Chadwick's scenes for the whole film itself, then on the following Thursday, the 28th, I will complete Hayley Watson's scenes as Sarah.

Due to the work load I am having, which is as follows:

-Completing filming for "The First Assignment".

-Completing filming for "One Life Remaining"

-Planning and filming a music video to boost my music video grade.

Treatment

Story A continuing story, the Hitman returns from Malta, confused as to what he saw in Malta, and looks for help, seeking his friend, Jason Brown, his previous pupil, he is able to stay with him until he can figure out what happened. Nearly four months later, MI5 start to take an interest in Jason, the Hitman already knows he must act and find out what really happened. Jason receives a letter from MI5, asking him on to find the Hitman, the assignment is known as “Assignment 002”. Jason meets with the Hitman and they journey to the MI5 building, after a heated talk, the Hitman finds out that it was really him who killed his wife, but he doesn’t remember it, it was his alter ego, Charlie Smith.  Jason switches on the emergency protocols in the building, gassing it, with the Hitman leaving the Woman a choice of whether to shoot herself or die from gas poisoning. Jason talks with the Hitman about what happened and as he turns to leave, he is shot and it is revealed that the Hitman shot him and is now Charlie Smith.

  Story For this project I intend to film a 20-minute short-film continuing from a previous film, “Assignment 001”, this film was about a retired hitman, haunted by the death of wife, who is forced to return to MI5 to complete one last job to find the killer of his beloved wife, leading him all the way to Malta. The sequel, “Assignment 002” is about this hitman returning to England, and with the help of his friend, Jason, will go to MI5 to find out the truth about how really killed his wife.

  Target Audience This Short-Film is aimed at 20 year old males and older, seeing as this is an action thriller, this could relate to the male audience more than females. The film focuses around loss of a loved one, so the audience, male or female could relate to this over the age of 20, as an adolescence audience may not have a full understanding of it from the husband's point of view.

    Locations

The short-film will be located in various locations, there are places such as the open fields of Leigh-On-Sea and Rochford, and the original house filmed in for the Hitman’s house, which is based in Rochford, the Woman’s bedroom, which is set in a house in Leigh-On-Sea and lastly, South Essex College (Southend Campus) will be doubling up at the base of MI5.
