Group - Film Treatment

Our film is going to be called 'Polaroid', and the opening sequence will feature two main characters. The main protagonist of the film will be called George Weah, and he will be tormented and tested by the antagonist known only as G.U.S who has kidnapped his girlfriend Jodie Morris. Our opening sequence will also feature a flashback from where the remainder of the film narrative would progress, were we making it.

Opening Sequence
The sequence will open with a blurry screen that comes into focus in a rundown room which looks to be part of an abandoned building. This will be a POV shot from the main character, George. This room will have many polaroid photos on the wall, which will be crossed out in red pen, and will have bloody fingerprints and smears on them. After a few have been shown with close-ups, mixed in with shots showing that George is tied to a chair, there will be a loud bang from a door being slammed. Then the antagonist will be shown to have entered the room, however his face will be obscured throughout this scene. The antagonist will become known to George simply as G.U.S, but the identities of both characters remain unknown throughout the opening sequence. G.U.S will then sit down next to George and begin to fiddle around with something that is also obscured. George begins to panic, before it switches back to POV to show a needle up close, which will squirt liquid. The needle disappears from view, and Geroge becomes more distressed. Still from POV a polaroid camera appears close-up and flashes. The screen goes completely blank/white at which point text appears saying 'One week previous' showing that a flashback has taken place. The sound and visual of an alarm clock will slowly fade in before a hand comes down on the alarm clock to silence it. As the hand retreats from the alarm clock, there is a polaroid photo in it's grasp. The hand it turns out belongs to George and the picture shows a girl smiling. This girl is George's girlfriend and on the back of the photo the is a location and time. Below this text it will be signed G.U.S. The scene will then end.

Ideas for the rest of the film
The basic idea of the rest of the film is that George goes to the location at the time specified and a public telephone rings. The person at the other end of the line will inform George his girlfriend girlfriend is being held hostage by him (This person being G.U.S). G.U.S then sets out tasks for George, with polaroid photos giving further clues to the next task. When completing one task George himself will be captured and will then wake up to find himself in the senario of the opening sequence we will film. After falling unconscious again he will wake up in a high rise building. This final task set by G.U.S is that he shoots the Primeminister, or his girlfriend who is in the opposite apartment building with a rifle. The door to the apartment is rigged meaning George cannot escape. After contemplating it for a while George assasainates the Primeminister, and is subsequently arrested. A further flashfoward would the show Georges girlfriend visiting him in prison six months later. The would film then end.
