Vague reality of 'Straight Up'...
frame 1: Various scenes shown in a fast motion
frame 2: Violent start which gradually calms down - Gang Intro: Include savanna's idea (all boys glaring at girls pass by, except Troy - he then gets slack)
frame 3: A form or multiple forms of drug abuse (smoking weed, preparation to sniff cocaine, alcohol...)
frame 4: A scene showing the gay guy's (Troy) broken foundation/ home life
frame 5: Troy and Mitch's friendship relationship (at the beginning - before revelation)
frame 6: A scene with the entire gang including the female company - show what they do for fun
frame 7: The younger generations idea of 'fun' - playing knock down ginger, imitating the older generation (respect/ territorial)...sniffing glue (drug aspect - humour)
Transition: Voices overlapping ( Mention of general morals - right from wrong mainly his mothers voice and younger siblings questions)
Deeper Rotted Issues come to life...
frame 8: Troy visiting his father in jail (confronts who he blames for his sexuality), first questions why he walked out on him, then discusses his sexuality (rejection cycle) - he set his dad up for leaving him
frame 9:Troy kips at Mitches house (comfort) - makes a move after feeling wanted ( substitution of a male figure he never had growing up) later on and then panics after being rejected (rejection cycle)
frame10: Hospitalises Mitch and hides the evidence (almost but doesn't kill him)
frame 11: Mum doesn't notice he didn't come home the previous night, and shares the news "did you hear about Mitch"
frame 12: Gang meeting (Troy is highly paranoid and the guilt weighs on him heavily) - suspicion is in the air and is more visible to one particular member, Jamie.
frame 13: Troy disposes of the attack weapon- A knife or a Baseball bat (over the shoulder shot) - someone see's this (The most vigilant member within the group of boys)
frame 14: He retraces the weapon
frame 15: Vigilant member puts two and two together and thinks of how to teach Troy a lesson without asking questions
Transition: Gunshot
(Film Poster reference) Bride your time/ Burning Bridges...

frame 16: Troy's mum seats him to talk about his father's progress in jail (suicide attempt?)
frame 17: Troy chills with Jacqueline, similarly after hearing of his dad make an awkward move (rejection cycle)
Confronting his demons...
frame 18: self-harm fazes and close up shots to show how he views himself - looking himself in a mirror, disgusted by his sexuality, in denial and extremely angry (silent tears)
frame 19: Focuses on Mitch's visitors
The fallout (Keep your friends close and your enemies closer)...
frame 20: The boys are brought into Jamie and Owen's revenge scheme

Film Magazine Front Cover - Planning Sheet
Main Image: The
main image is going to be character focused complementing the film poster.
Either a close up or mid shot.
Name of the magazine:
Big Screen
What are the connotations of the title? Informative as it
provides up to date news on upcoming films
Colour Scheme: Stale Colours – White and Black and these are
basic colours rather that bright colours which wouldn’t suit the genre type for
my product
Headline: The headline will match the main image in
either going behind the scenes with an interview story or giving teaser
information about the film
Sell Lines: Containing references to new and upcoming
other films, fresh actors, directors and information about film festivals and
screenings
Magazine Tag line: Mysterious Gangster
Other Info: Price
- £3.99
Film Poster - Planning Sheet
Main Image:
A character focused film poster so that the audience can get
a feeling of who is in the film (the actor) along with the characterization of
the actor but a twist is that the characters face is not going to be shown as
it would be through a silhouette so the audience don’t see the character
Sell Lines:
Director may also be
shown who has done past work. Film festivals are least likely to be shown as
this is an early release film poster meaning that it would be released at a
later date. However it may indicate that it would be entering a film festival
instead.
Film Tag line:
You can’t hide the truth
Other Info:
This poster if produced would contain a non-specific release
date or coming soon text to identify the poster as an early release poster,
some or no credits and an external link to a another site such the film website
so that those interested could access more information about it.
