Thriller Pitch 2

MOVIE TITLE

We came up with the name of our thriller. We decided to call it The Code. The name is very effective because it is ambiguous and it gives it a feel of the movie being a crime thriller.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Nexus Incorporated are at height of a chance of topping the stock markets. The CEO's of the other financial companies are watching and plotting to stop them. A hacker infiltrates Nexus incorporated (surpassing all security breaches with ease) and extracts vital financial information from them. The boss of Nexus looks at his CCTV footage and finds out. He sends for an assassin to follow and kill the hacker.

This is what is shown in our thriller opening. The audience sees the hacker walking through the business/industrial area. We then see the killer watching him in a balaclava and a gun. He watches him enter the FDSE building after him. We then see the hacker return to his desk to complete the final process of the extraction and just as the bar is loading to complete it the killer holds a gun to the hackers head. The hacker puts his hands up and the assassin shoots him in the head. 

ENIGMA CODE

The enigma code is finding out who the hacker is and who is he working for. We find out that he is an insider of Nexus and was paid by FDSE to hack them.

Hacking Screen

We will use this hacking video to make our thriller opening more realistic so that the audience believes the story. I think that this sample is quite slow so I would like to speed up this video in order to fit in with our thriller opening.

Mood Board for Killer

The reason I am wearing all black is because black symbolises rebelion. My character is rebellious because he sneaks into places and does whatever he wants to get what he wants.

Mood Board for Computer Hacker

I have gone for a more smart look to emphasise that it is business related. However I have made it more stylish to appeal to the young adults of today and show that the film is more modern. The computer hacker will be wearing a coat as it is cold and he is walking outside. The glasses give the character a more quirky look which leads to the audience asking a question of his identity. The tie indicates formality and the bag is for the laptop and usb stick which holds the information.

Thriller Soundtrack

Harry produced this soundtrack which could be used for our thriller opening. He combined his soundtrack that he produced with the foley that I produced. Such as adding suspense where possible because this will draw the audience to the storyline.

Inspiration

We got inspiration from these films because they include these scenes about hacking. We chose these scenes for inspiration because in our opening thriller sequence we include a computer hacker gaining important information from a rivaling company. These scenes show the progression in technology and how far technology has come. For the hacking in our scenes, we will use very basic equipment, however we will be use techniques that will create a more professional look.

Foley

For our foley we are using sound that would fit with out thriller. For example, footsteps would fit with our thriller because we have scenes where actors are walking, the noise for their actual footsteps would not be heard as the sound for the original footage would be extracted in order to get rid of any unnecessary sound. A foley would be placed over the top.
