Our Story

 

We have tried to come up with a narrative that is interesting and involving for our audience. We have thought about the use of structure to the storyline, substance and the use of interesting appeals such as familiar situations and themes that run throughout the scene.

 

Ali has just been released from prison after serving a sentence for being invloved in drug dealing and crime. He has however, been let out early due to good behaviour and other satisfactory reasons. He is making his way home on public transport to his home city of Bristol. His destination is his half-way house, however Ali is reluctant to go there. Ali knows that now he is out of prison, he still owes money to his previous drug dealers and so is weary of where he is seen just in case his previous drug dealer Dom is around the area still. In the time of desperation and being cautious of his surroundings, Ali bumps into a girl who we soon recognise to be Stacey, which is Ali's ex partner. After an innitual moment to recognise and take in the coincidence, Ali asks Stacey to help him but she is reluctant to and needs more persuading. Stacey finally agrees to take in Ali for the night and so they both start to head on their way. However, Dom appears and interupts the two's conversation and instantly starts comfronting and arguing with Ali. Ali and Stacey start to flee before they reach a dead end. Dom eventually gets hit by Stacey in a moment of panic and he falls to the ground. Thinking Dom is dead, Ali and Stacey run away not realizing their fate that Dom is still alive and seeks revenge on the two.

1.Exposition - We are setting the scene and introducing the characters by using establishing shots and shots of the main character in their natural environment. This is how we learn who the characters are and learn a bit abut their lifestyle by the place we have put them in.


2. Development - We introduce two more characters and realize that a situation is about to be unfolded. The situation is one character bumping into another after a long time without seeing each other.


3. Complication - Another character interrupts the others and we find out that a tense situation is about to happen between all the characters.


4. Climax - The suspense is high as there is a series of threats, fights and violence between all the characters which creates more problems. We feel the tension through the characters body language and facial expressions.


5. Resolution - We have decided to leave the scene on a cliff hanger to leave the suspension and mystery to the viewer. This intrigues the audience into what happens next to the characters and how they are going to resolve or come to a final ending later in the film.
