New Ideas

Due to the fact that we have already created a short horror clip for our A2 coursework (Paranoia), after much consideration, we have decided to use a different genre this year, and we hope it will demonstrate our versitility. As we used a lot of our ideas for horror already, we decided that we were limited in what we could do in the same genre. Therefore we have been thinking of ideas for the comedy genre, specifically for a film we thought of called 'bad cop, bad cop'. (a play on the phrase good cop, bad cop). Here our some of our ideas:

Opening scene Idea:
- spooky music as guy breaks into house. See door being broken open, creeps along a corridor but can hear football on tv from another room. Camera notices a cerificate on the wall that says 'Fully certified trainee policeman'.Goes to investigate the sound and as he opens the door knocks over something and makes a loud noise. Theif freezes and stares at the cop who just keeps watching football. Theif starts waving his arms about and cop still doesn't look up. Theif moves arms in front of TV and cop just moves head so he can see better. Guy takes stuff and then fades to later when almost everything has been taken. Theif says 'thanks mate' and cop waves without really paying attention.
- fades to black, next scene
- Same theif runs into 2nd cop, stare off happens (zoom in on eyes), and the cop just picks up the handbag and hands it back to the theif, saying 'Watch where you're running, son'.
-These scenes should introduce these characters as two bad cops.
- Fade to black
- While chasing after a criminal, the police officers run towards a car. but instead of getting in it, they run past to children's scooters painted in police colours. One of them puts a helmet with a siren on, and they ride off.
- Chief scene, chief says to the two cops ' Have you seen this man?' and gives them a picture of thief in balaclava, the same thief both of the cops have seen. Cops think for a while, and say 'nope never seen him'. Cheif says 'this guys a master thief, you'll have to go in disguise'. As he finishes his sentence, cuts to cops lowering newspapers with drawn on moustaches. They nod at eachother and raise their newspapers.
-Final scene, one cop says 'He jumped the fence!', they both take a run up and try to scramble up the fence, and fall to the ground exhausted. Camera pans out to reveal an open gate just around the corner.
-Final scene idea 2, robber slides across car, cops attempt it and fail miserably.
-Final scene idea 3, cops try to get in car but can't find keys. They see a cat that has the keys on a magnetic collar, and try to chase it.

We are currently in the process of arranging actors and dates for filming which will suit everybody.
