Spy Thriller PitchAbbie, Adèle, Gemma and Connor

Name of CompanyThe name of our company is:

Transparency Pictures

We chose this name because the definition of Transparency means how opaque something is when a light is shining through it, which we think represents the whole idea of film.

Name of filmThe name of the film is:

INFILTRATOR

The definition of the word is a person who secretly becomes part of a group in order to get information or to influence the way the group thinks or behaves. We chose this name because we feel that it sums up the film’s plot in one word.

Character descriptionSIR JOHN SAWYERS: The head of the MI6. He is the decision maker and the man who discovers the mole and their identity. He takes on the mission of finding her, however it doesn’t end well for him.

Outline of FilmOur film is based around the MI6, they have found out that a Soviet Mole has been working within the company and spying on the MI6’s actions for many years. He can’t even trust his best staff, so he goes on this mission alone. At first JOHN’s computer is hacked and comes up with a message, this is how he discovers the moles existence. He goes on a mission to find them. Towards the end of the film the antagonist captures SIR JOHN and makes him sign a contract declaring his agreement to them taking his place as the Head of MI6 after he is killed, so now the antagonist is in control of MI6 and JOHN is the only one who knows the truth, but he is dead….

Our Opening Sequence● The Opening Sequence will be a chase scene

where the main character, SIR JOHN will be introduced.

● It will be a preview of the end of the film to capture the audience’s attention.

● He will be chasing the mole who is dressed in black and their identity won’t be revealed yet.

● We will use shots that limit the audience’s view so they don’t have all the information, creating mystery e.g. low angle shots of feet and close up shots of eyes.

Sequences that influencedThis is an example of a scene that has inspired us, it is the chase scene from Casino Royale. This has inspired us because of the actions of the characters.In our opening sequence it consists of a chase scene and this is why this sequence is good inspiration. Even though we can't use the setting I think we could interpret the different types of fast-paced shots into our sequence.

Sequences that influencedThis is a scene from the film Point Break that has also influenced our ideas for the opening sequence. It contains an ‘on foot chase scene’ which is what we plan to contain in our sequence.Even though we cannot use cars or special effects like fire. We like the way that the chase goes through different settings and the different shots used in the scene and can incorporate these into our opening.

Target Audience Profile

We are aiming our film mainly at young men aged 15 - 24 but also women.

The young men and women that we are aiming at, particularly enjoy action but also conspiracy (the idea of trying to figure out what is going to happen in the film.)

We apply this to our film so that we have action in the chase and also conspiracy in that the person being chased hasn’t been identified as the Mole yet.
