Favela Maison

Favela Maison - As two worlds collide, a new generation of clothing emerges, a new and upcoming brand for the go-getters, a fashion statement for the trendsetters. Brought to you by the deigns of 'Yung Yesawi ' and 'Marq Rise' in this killer combination of class meets urban street-wear.

Favela Maison offers a variety of clothing perfectly strung together by the creative youth design teams that brought you 'Visioninfusion' and 'Paperpac'. With high quality and high fashion it really does hit that stylish sweet spot - and it's no wonder this brand is growing so quickly already earning a name in L.A and fashion capital Paris, with new stock up in Central Paris clothing store Pigale.

Whether it's caps, t-shirts, hoodies or jumpers you're looking for, it's available at Favela Maison, and as the designs consistently impress, it would be a surprise to see the prices to stay at such a low rate - so grab what you can now!

Script

This is the final script developed from three previous drafts, it also includes the final, agreed title, 'Vindictive', we chose this as our title as we believed this is an effective way of giving the viewers an insight on the complete film though also keeps the audience questioning how this theme is presented through the opening.

Prop List


Here is a list of props that we plan to use in our opening:

  • Flowers
  • Guns (Authentic)
  • Balaclava
  • Binoculars
  • Duffel Bag
  • Phones
  • Files
It is likely that we will add to this list when we shoot.

Antagonist Comparison





Our thriller opening consists of two antagonists who are out to kill the protagonist because of his desire to do the same to them. This can also be compared to the film Taken as the terrorist group who play the antagonists in that film are in an incredibly similar position. They have performed their act of terrorism and have made an enemy on the way. Upon the discovery of this enemy they direct their attention to attempting to kill him. Our opening consists of a similar story that involves them making an enemy who aims to get revenge and therefore they have to kill him, however similarly to Taken, which is no easy task.

A notable difference between the two is the fact that the antagonists in Taken have something belonging to the protagonist that they do not want to lose. In our thriller this is not the case. Therefore the antagonists in our film are in a more powerful position because they have nothing to lose unlike the antagonists in Taken.

Protagonist Comparison



Our thriller features a protagonist similar to many films but a very notable character that he can be compared to is 'Bryan Mills' who is played by Liam Neeson in the film 'Taken'. The reason he is very similar to our character is because he is pursuing a similar objective to the protagonist we have created ( His family are in jeopardy therefore he seeks to solve all issues and take revenge on the people responsible  However, he is not exactly the same as our protagonist due to the fact that he is mainly used as an action character yet the role we have created is not centred around action nearly as much as the role played by Liam Neeson in Taken. Furthermore in Taken, Mills solves all of his problems fully through his action, we have included many different ways in which our character aims to resolve his issues. For example, the sources he has that he can use to gather information which he manipulates greatly to aid him on his quest. Another difference between the two is the fact that in Taken Liam Neeson is chasing his enemies as they are in the position of power and have something that he needs however in our opening the antagonists are not in any position of power, the protagonist just wants to take revenge and is willing to do a lot to get it. Therefore throughout Taken he is trying to save his family whereas our protagonist is only out to kill.

Equipment






Sony HD Handycam - This camera is what we will use to film and it shoots at 25 frames per second therefore it creates a visible smoothness when we record which will benefit our opening. Also it has a 12x zoom which can be beneficial as there is potential for us to use these features throughout our shoot.



Tripod - We will be using a basic tripod throughout our shoot which will provide us with stable shots which we will need for any conversations or monologues and can also provide a very smooth pan effect which will be beneficial in various scenes throughout our opening.








Microphone - We will be using a microphone to record any speech or sound vital to the opening as it provides clear sound with no interventions from any other source of sound. This is beneficial especially because when filming with the camera it is likely that unwanted sounds will be present therefore we have our microphone to rely on.
