Synopsis draft 1


The genre I have chosen is a detective-mystery. The story will be set in the town of Oakridge, isolated from the rest of society; and the town has very little in the way of a police force. After getting into trouble with the boss on his first official week as a police detective, Christian Woods has been sent to Oakridge to attend a weekend fundraiser in his place. However, this place isn’t any ordinary town, abandoned houses down every street, roads slowly falling apart and hardly anyone to be seen. When Christian arrives at the fundraiser he notices that the guest are in a panic as there has just been a murder. The protagonist will represent a young worker just starting out in their field of work, having to suck up to the boss being the lesser in the work place, however the character is smart and enthusiastic towards the work but not taken seriously by that of the more experienced detective. This will allows my targeted audience of younger adults to relate to starting out at the bottom of their field of work and instantly relating to the character. Being the only Law enforcer in the town, Christian realises that he needs to solve this murder on his own. However, one guest becomes very willing to help. Although the protagonist doesn’t discover the truth about this guest until the end, the audience will be able to get the vibe that he isn’t a good character through the use of darker lighting, the little of him seen and the positioning of him when in the shot.The best part to my film will be when The Antagonist arrives for the first time in the shot and attempts to gain the trust of the protagonist so he can steer
him astray.
