Main Task Ideas

Heist Bank - Nabil

An unexpected combination of people plan a bank heist in their local pub. Ash is a woman that has a regular body build with sharp facial features. "One bullet" Bobby has an over fat body build and is generally seen with a beer in his hand with a cigarette. Clive is Chinese and has a very short body build affected by dwarfism and carries a banana is his pocket with a hammer tied on his belt. The pub is a generally hostile setting with the people inside giving glares and uncomfortable look. The plot is that all 3 men are in debt to a leading drug and arms dealer since they have also stolen from him. However the drug dealer let them off instead of murdering them and instead demanded them to rob a bank if they can rob from a drug and arms dealer.

The characters converse once they have settled down onto the grubby laminate wooden table. Ash brings a brief case with blueprints of the bank and entry points. When opened, Clive leans over and so does Bobby. Bobby's chair breaks due to his weight and the people around look in laughter. There is 1 person in particular that was made obvious due to his historical laughter. In Bobby's poor temper, he charges at the person hysterically laughing and bounces him off his stomach through the pubs window. The rest of the pub cheerer on and then resume to their own business.

During the bank heist, Ash, Bobby and Clive are generally caught in difficult situations such as all 3 are stuck on a rope that is attached onto the ceiling. So the trio are generally caught in unfortunate events causing tension while maintaining the comedy like style of the film.

Evaluation of plot:

I have chosen this particular idea since it has originality in its own regard since it has a range of people involved in organised crime. It also has a sense of humour due to this combination of people since the viewers wouldn't expect a female demolitions expert, a dwarf Chinese man with a banana and hammer with an overweight Englishman drinking beers and smoking cigarettes all take part together in a bank heist.  However, judging from the events from the opening sequence, it is not realistic since it would be difficult to cast a dwarf Chinese man and a large Englishman. Furthermore, it uses unsafe methods of acting, being the character bounced through the pub window.

In comparison to classmates idea 'Young boys', 'Heist Bank' is very unrealistic. So it is more likely that 'Young Boys' would be chosen to continue with the video task.

HOSTAGE - Kundai

A high profile celebrity is being held hostage and is tied up whilst the terrorist talks on the phone to the negotiator whilst making threats to the hostage in order to convince the negotiator to increase his offer from £250,000 to £500,000. The negotiators reluctance to increase the price causes the terrorist to become paranoid and belligerent

The setting will preferably be a small room with dim lighting. props such as rope and a weapon would also be appropriate.

The developing shot will show the hostage tied up whilst the terrorist paces up and down whilst furiously conversing over the phone with the negotiator. The camera shots will switch between the hostage situation and the negotiator and his team discussing what to do and debating whether or not to ambush the robber

The role of the terrorist will have to be played with a lot of emotion and anger in order to create the suspense the movie is intended to have and they also will have to constantly pose the threat of executing the hostage.

There will also be a back and forth conversation between the hostage and the terrorist which consists of the hostage pleading for his life.

The terrorist will then receive a call from his getaway driver prompting him to come as the police look as if they're going to ambush him and and so the terrorist uses the hostage as a human shield
