Media idea #1


possible scene in Dubai


  • Establishing shot of the Dubai skyline from the beach/Burj Khalifa/busy streets etc.
  • A narration needs to be present explaining the idea behind the film, for example you could talk about an international crime syndicate
  • Phone rings in the hotel room, two or three rings to add a decent effect

Bill: has to pick up the phone, can change from a medium shot of the flashing button to a match on action shot of a hand picking up the phone, this shot then needs to change to show the phone going against this characters ear, we can get a proper shot from the nose down so the character is less relate able to the audience, it also creates a sort of ominous presence about him as we can only see half of his face and only hear his voice.

Conor: we can have a conversation go on between the two characters where it will be like they are talking from different sides of the world, e.g. Dubai and London, we presume his character is the main antagonist or at least the leader of the plot, he would say something along the lines of "listen to me very carefully, what you're about to do will make you rich"

Bill: the other character will then respond by saying "yeah what do I have to do" this line is symbolic of a thriller as it is almost like he has already accepted the mission at hand without finding out all the details, the shot will cut to a close up of his face where it will once again show him from the nose down to keep the character anonymous

Conor: the supposed main antagonist will respond once again with maybe a different shot, perhaps a moving shot where the character is walking around facing away from the camera so you can only see the back of his head, like the other character it will keep him anonymous,we can possibly do this from a long shot in the shard showing the streets of London below, he will then give a directive "I will only say this once so write it down, you will be robbing the whole middle east of hundreds of millions of pounds, you will do this by going to the Burj Khalifa with the card provided" we can make this speech some sort of narration with overlapping shots of the busy streets of Dubai as well as different shots of the buildings surrounding it. It will be like some sort of mission which we are being filled in by the narration giving to us by the guy on the phone, it can then cut back to show us the guy on the phone listening to his command to show his understanding on it.

Bill: the other character will then respond to the mission at hand by saying once again from a shot below the nose from the other side this time "where is the card"

Conor: The main antagonist will finish this off by saying "by the door, you don't have long, the instructions are with the card" the camera will then turn the focus of the character in the close up to whats happening in the background where the card is pushed through the door, the trailer will then conform to thriller stereotypes with an increase in pace of music as the character puts down the phone, proceeds to the front door of the hotel room picks up the card and puts it in his blazer pocket, he will then open the door, look both ways and proceed right as if he is in a rush, this can show how limited on time he truly is. There will be no match on action or change of shot in this scene rather it will end with the door shutting to which point it will then turnover into the next scene in either London or Paris where it will be the aftermath of what happened in Dubai possibly through the use of made up broadcasts or perhaps little snips of actual broadcasts.
