Main Production Outline


Title
Mistaken Identity - We feel as though this is a great title for our film as the guy who is kidnapped has been mistaken for someone else, as he is innocent, or is he?

Plot/Outline Summary
Two men work at the same office, John Peters and Danny Stevens; we see them both take phone calls at the start from this we tell that John is your normal man waiting to go home after the mail is handed out. As for Danny, he acts suspicious taking his phone call outside, we realise he is up to something when he speaks privately and by his conversation on the phone.
Both men bump into each other on the way out and accidently switch packages. When Danny walks out of work and meets his boss in the car park he finds out it is not his package and that the other package with 50 thousand pounds worth of drugs is in Johns Hands. His Boss 'Steven Graham' gets annoyed and plans an action to get the drugs back. Later that evening John is almost home but unfortunately he gets kidnapped by the two men, loading him in the boot they head off quickly in their getaway vehicle. Consequently leaving John’s bag, which he dropped and the drugs behind.
In the next scene we see them interrogating John in a dark room he gets beaten up and threatened at gun point, still denying any involvement with the drugs. They question who he works for and believe he has done this on purpose.
We then see John slip a small knife from up his sleeve and relieve his hands form tape on the chair he is attached to. Danny has no clue of this. John knocks the gun out of his hand and smacks it across the room, the scene goes black and a gunshot is let off, but who is killed? And is John really innocent?

Opening Sequence
We start the whole film with subtitles showing the directors and actors with intense music in the background which gives the viewer and incline of what type of movie they expect. We then introduce the characters by both main characters, Danny and John answer a phone simultaneously, and their conversations tell you a bit about each character. The first shot is a close up of a phone and a match on action followed by the same but with Danny’s mobile. This keeps people wondering what is happening.

Characters (genre, role, image etc)
The main character John Peters is played by Adam Lomas, he is an innocent and friendly looking guy, who is dressed smartly. We wanted him o look this way as we want people to establish he is going to be the victim and the innocent one in this straight away. A innocent victim is always a stereotypical character you will find in most action movies getting caught up in the drama so we thought it would be important to include this role in ours.

The bad guy also a main character is Danny Stevens, played by Dominic Clarke, he is part of the drug deal and works at the same office as John. He seems suspicious to the audience in the way he acts as his role is suppose to be someone you can’t trust and a bad person.

The other main character is Steven Graham, played by Bradley Roche; he is dressed in a suit and Shades it shows is importance and dominance over Danny. He is represented as the big, tough guy and leader especially when we see Danny calling him boss. This character is typical of what you will find in an action movie as there is always a leader, someone calling all the shots.

The next character is less important, he is a mail boy in the workplace, played by Roberto Pinto. He stars in the small section handing out the vital mail that they all desperately want, mainly Danny. Dress casually smart he represents the character and role well.

Mis-en-scene
The workplace will be filmed inside the school during the day time; it is down a quite corridor which resembles your usual office workplace. We use an office phone and computer to make it seem realistic and to keep the theme clear to people. The kidnap will be filmed at dusk as it adds suspicious and eerie feel to the footage. Darkness always represents bad things.

Locations
School interior for office workplace shots, this is easy to access and ideal appearance.
A local quite residential street for kidnapping to show John is head home.
A local business 'Olympus House' this will the workplace exterior for when both men walk out of work to make it seem more realistic.
Dom's car will be used as the getaway car and interior shots will be vital.
Bradley’s garage will be used for the interrogation scene as it seems dark and eerie.

Costumes
Danny and John will both be wearing shirts and ties to show that they are both at work; John looks very smart and represent able to show he is the kind and innocent character.
Steven Graham the head gangster will be wearing a full suit and sunglasses. This shows his power instantly as it is a stereotypical symbol for power and leadership.

Props
A pretend Gun, this is vital to show power and violence, included in almost every action movie.
Fake Drugs, these are use to look realistic and will play a part to allow the viewers to understand the plot.
Telephone in office
Mobile phone
