Below is three loglines I created in preparation for my opening sequence.
''A teenage boy faces a life threatening situation in order to fight for survival''
''Faced with an ultimatum, a secret agent must conquer his fear to fight of a whole team of armed criminals based in an drug enforced factory''
''Time is running out, days are becoming shorter, a young entrepreneur unravels a significant hidden secret which may change his life...forever''
Loglines into treatment:
''Faced with an ultimatum, a secret agent must conquer his fear to fight a whole team of armed criminals based in a drug enforced factory''
This is my chosen logline however it isn't my final idea, as in the final project the logline may slightly vary according to the production. I chose this logline because it does create a sense of enigma, for example the person reading this logline my ask questions in their head as to why he must fight a whole team of armed criminals, furthermore the fact that he is 'faced with an ultimatum' also make people wonder what his ultimatum was and why it lead to this.
The audience will find out what the ultimatum was and into depth of the secret agent as the film progresses. This film consists of comprehending time, therefore the beginning of the film and the opening title sequence is set in the future and the rest of the film is set prior to the scene within the drug enforced factory. Below is the treatment, but as mentioned before both treatment and logline may differ accordingly.
Beginning: So after the opening title sequence runs through, the beginning of the film consists of the secret agent already fighting a hoard of criminals in the drug enforced factory, he soon realises that if he doesn't escape his life will be in a major risk. Shortly after he is caught and the criminals capture him, throwing a sack over his head, as the sack is thrown over his head there is a wipe, with a caption saying '2 weeks ago'.
Middle: This is where time changes, this bit shows where the secret agent goes wrong. So the agent and his colleagues are working on a case where a team of criminals are distributing illegal drugs, they want to capture each individual criminal one by one however the secret agent takes matters into his own hands, this is where he goes through the secret files of the HQ and discovers vital information and where the drug factory is based. Alone, the secret agent decides to head over to the factory with only a pistol equipped. Shortly upon his arrival, he discovers that there are more armoured men than he expected. This is where the secret agent faces an ultimatum, should he fight off the criminals by himself? or should he hold his head down in shame and return to the HQ.
End: The secret agent realises that it may be a lot harder to escape than it seems; this is the bit which continues from the opening title sequence, he manages to kill a few criminals and enters a dark room, this is where he is captured and a sack is put over his head. Having a gun pointed to his head, the secret agent has no alternative solution. Only the door was just breached and the other secret agents come in fending off the hoard. After killing most of the criminals the secret agent and his companion think they defeated them all, only to find the drug boss opposite the end, he has a detonator in his had, ready to pull the trigger as he knows that the drug factory is not worthy anymore as he has no workers left. The secret agent gets shot by one of the injured criminals to the left, then the drug enforced gets blown up with an re-establishing shot.
