SYNOPSIS ‘Flag Chase’ is a dystopian thriller/mystery,

which tells the story of five teenagers, who as part of their school’s seniors tradition, embark on a quest to retrieve 5 flags from the woods.

Guided by a series of riddles as clues, they have 10 hours to succeed or be cast as outsiders for

the remainder of their life.

However, things are not as simple as they seem, can the five of them manage to work together and over come the twist and turns or will they all fall victim to the evil lurking behind them?

INSPIRATION

GENREWe decided on a creating a thriller because it is a challenge to create a genre film and our group wanted to push ourselves to try something new and risky. In thrillers, there is tension, suspense and scares but they come from real-world understandable reasons taken to extremes.We also chose the thriller genre as it will introduce us to some unique iconography to help make our sequence more appealing as it is important to keep the audience captivated during the opening.

LOCATION/SETTINGFor our location we have decided to film in Alexandra’s Park. In the evening, a light fog covers the trees creating a spooky and mysterious view. This will help make the audience feel tense and uncomfortable as they sympathise with the characters for being lost with no way out of the darkness. The park is large enough for us to film freely and it is a public location which means we have access to film there. We will be filming at a time where it is not crowded to avoid upsetting people if they appear in the frame. (No need consent.)

CONVENTIONS

REASON FOR OUR FILM

We decided to explore the idea of human nature and the determination to thrive in society. We

decided to look at teenager in high school where being popular is seen as most important. We will

be using characters from different cliques to analyse the relationship between them and expose

if their behaviours and attitudes are a dominant feature in them or is it just a person conforming

within society.

PROPOSAL

U.S.P: Our universal selling point is that it is a relatable thriller, this would appeal to a wider

range of people, especially young adults because it has the aspect of life that everyone goes through in secondary school, this is the desire to belong and having a form of respect from their peers.
