Double AgentJason Bourne meets James Bond

ECA ProductionsCammie Hall, Emily Hyett, Anna Tyler

6 films influencing our idea

The Bourne Identity

It inspired our idea for a man that lost his memory and went in search for answers

Shutter Island

It inspired our idea by of a detective that didn't know the whole story whilst everyone else did-he was kept in the dark. For example our double agent is kept in the dark by his colleague.

Falling Down

This film inspired with its title sequence with the sound effects of heavy breathing and a close up of his sweating face

Taken

It inspired our idea by the girl that is used for leverage for information. In our case the woman seems like a damsel in distress when caught in the crossfire

James Bond

It inspired our idea by using drug dealers/terrorists as the villain side but also in pursuit of answers and knowledge to the unknown

The Escape Plan

This inspired our idea by an undercover agent sent into a group of criminals in a ploy to find out the valuable information he requires to finish the job

The plot of 'Double Agent'

An undercover MI6 agent is sent into the middle of a drug dealing group of thugs and is to find the valuable information that has been rumoured to be in their computer files but is discovered when handing the files over to his colleague. There's a mole in the MI6 that gives the drug dealer's a head up to Matt's true identity which is why they find him at rendezvous point. Rendezvous point is at an abandoned warehouse where he is giving his colleague the information that he discovered on the drug dealers computer files. When he wakes up he finds his colleague has disappeared so assumes the woman has been kidnapped by the drug dealers that fled. When Matt thinks more in depth he realises that when the drug dealers appear the woman was acting scared and vulnerable crouched in the corner but then suddenly disappears mid fight so starts to suspect she has something to do with the situation he is in. The mole in MI6 turns out to be the woman which is why previously she gave a vulnerable damsel in distress act so that Matt wouldn't suspect her. He wakes up having flash backs of what happened but no memory. He chases the drug dealers that fled the scene to try and uncover the identity of the mole but is being chased as well. His amnesia is his journey to uncovering he truth.

Background information for 'Double Agent'

Matt's colleague only gives headquarters the information that she wants them to have and then keeps the important stuff to herself. So she wants Matt's position in the company so her ploy is to set him up as to appear on the side of the drug dealers which is why she was so eager for him to take on the mission.

Title Sequence

Plot: Is where Matt the double agent wakes up in a warehouse. He has no memory of why he is there at first - disorientated. Looks at scene around him and sees a couple of bodies which resurfaces flashback of fight. He shakes his head as if to rid off the memories or to try and understand them. He keeps having flashbacks of fight scenes and then his colleague crouched in the corner. He gets up stumbling-dizzy trying to figure a way out. He noticed colleague isn't there anymore and looks around as if to suddenly find her but doesn't. Finds door and opens revealing white light that takes up whole screen. Then title 'DOUBLE AGENT'

Extra infoRestricted and non linear due to flashbacks

Target audience: men 18-29 years; we are using this audience as it gives us more of a chance to do an adult plot to the film. We’re using this audience because after researching what this genre’s audience is we found that this allows us more of a scope for things like violence, locations and explicit scenes.

The title sequence gives a psychological approach due to effects on screen and the way we have planned the basis for the story

The plot is realistic as it could happen in everyday lives

Camera angles and shots we planned

(Extreme) close ups for when Matt starts waking up, sitting - right hand side of him

Extreme long shot of warehouse, establishing shot and Ariel shot - birds eye view

Arc shot - spinning for when Matt wakes up

Medium shot - fight flash backs - can't see person against Matt's face

High angle shot on girl to make her inferior

Low angle shot for the kick

Enigma Code

Our enigma code is 'who is the MI6 mole?'

The woman colleague of Matt throws the audience off her scent by acting vulnerable but it is later revealed about her manipulation

What is the information?

Location

The location for the title sequence would be an abandoned location as it is the rendezvous point.

For the real thing

We may use sunglasses, ski masks, and a briefcase in addition to our current props.

We would start the title sequence’s flashbacks in public that then moves into an abandoned warehouse.

More focus on him getting to the rendezvous point with the antagonists following him to make more of a clear storyline/ narrative.
