Only Business – Film SynopsisBy Ollie Dwyer and Josh Crichlow

Exposition

The Exposition of the film will introduce the setting, scene and characters. This is important because the exposition will need to hook the viewer, and give them an insight into the action that will unfold.

In our exposition we will introduce the characters (Hero and Villain), and introduce part of the storyline through a character flashback from the ‘Hero’ of an event that has just taken place.

Development

The development is significant to the film as it progresses a situation and introduces more characters into the action.

In our film opening we will introduce a character briefly who is the brother (Jason) of the Hero (Antonio). The hero Antonio will go to his brothers house after a drug deal went bad and someone tried to kill him.

The two characters will talk about the problem which has occurred to the hero, and they will discuss briefly what they might be able to do to resolve this problem.

Complication

The complication is something that will happen in the film to complicate the lives of the characters.

For our film we have decided that the main character (Antonio) will be betrayed by his brother (Jason). At first Antonio will not know that is was his brother who set him up. Jason will have paid a man called ‘Hector’ to kill Antonio, but Antonio will only figure this out when he gets back to Jason’s house, after the set up didn’t go to plan.

This introduces a complication as Antonio will not want to have to kill his brother, however he may be left with no choice.

Climax

The climax is the decisive moment which is reached in the film. At this point suspense will be high.

Antonio would have dealt with Hector at some point in the film, however the climax is reached when Antonio is forced to stand off against his brother Jason. This will create suspense as the two brothers will have to fight each other in order to survive, as there is no chance of redemption.

Both men will pull guns on each other after a conversation about family and betrayal. This will be the peak of the climax as suspense will be at its highest during this point.

Resolution

The resolution is when matters are resolved and a satisfactory end is reached for the viewers.

Antonio will defeat Jason in a battle to the death and will be standing looking over the dead body.

Viewers will feel satisfied with this ending as Antonio the Hero will have triumphed over the betrayal of his brother Jason the villain.

Viewers would be able to see that Antonio is upset about the situation and therefore will not dislike him as a character, as they will recognise that he is not pleased about what he had to do.
