Opening Concept

The concept for our short media piece revolves around the interrogation of a young male who is involved with a conspiracy against his own country. This correlates with the concept board I previously placed on the blog. The short film is meant to give an insight into the stereotypes placed on young Muslims as well as ethnic minorities within the UK. However we have considered the script and idea and taken away any thing which may have been seen as controversial.

Within the opening 30 seconds we used a montage of the Woolwich attacks along with the news coverage that it attracted. The soundtrack 'Death is the road to awe' in order to set the tone for the film. We hope that with this the film will give off the effect of fear and tension that is necessary in order for the audience to adapt their own opinion. The song itself of sets an extremely tense and negative mood, which we believe in imperative for a thriller opening. All of this sets the viewer up for the next scene, which involves the interrogation.

This then follows where the innocent victim is interrogated by an apparently ignorant detective who seems to enforce his own negative stereotypes,  which eventually manifests itself...
