Preproduction 2 Script
Film Script
An Agent only known as The Infiltrator is tasked with invading a building in search of some secret Intel.
The Infiltrator is sneaking through the Building hiding in a dark corridor where he activates his earpiece and a voice begins to talk to him.
THE OBSERVER
Ok Infiltrator what’s the situation down there?
THE INFILTRATOR
Perfect. The guards have no clue that I’m here, what now?
THE OBSERVER
Looking at the information that was leaked to us the Intel should be on a USB stick in a room on the top floor should be a piece of cake.
THE INFILTRATOR
Wait… you mean it’s not guarded? Isn’t that a little bit strange to you?
THE OBSERVER
Yeah that’s what I thought so I hacked into the security system and accessed the cameras on that floor and guess what? Its empty so be on your guard.
THE INFILTRATOR
Gotcha
The Infiltrator gets out of the corridor and sneaks and approaches the stairs to get to the next floor however while this is happening a mysterious man enters the building
THE OBSERVER
All right Infiltrator the Intel should be in the room right next to you
The Infiltrator opens the door and sees a USB stick on a table. He then walks towards it and picks it up when suddenly an alarm sounds.
THE INFILTRATOR
What the hell! Hey what’s going on?
THE OBSERVER
I don’t know I didn’t see any trip wires and the cameras would have picked up any hidden lasers… Wait a minute Infiltrator look at the USB you picked up.
The Infiltrator looks at the USB and notices a small button on the side of it.
THE INFILTRATOR
(Angrily) Damn it they tricked us!
THE OBSERVER
That doesn’t matter now get the hell out of there!
The Infiltrator turns to see a person standing there
THE HUNTER
Going somewhere?
The Hunter throws a punch towards The Infiltrator but he swiftly dodges and pushes him back and runs past him with The Hunter getting back up beginning to chase him. The hunt begins
The Hunter is in pursuit of The Infiltrator; The Infiltrator is using everything he can to slow him down by shutting doors changing his direction and trying to hide. He then goes down a dark corridor and contacts The Observer
THE INFILTRATOR
Hey Observer who is that?
THE OBSERVER
I don’t know from the looks of him he’s not your everyday security guard
THE INFILTRATOR
Whoever he is he’s pretty good I didn’t even hear him enter the room.
THE OBSERVER
Yeah well he’s trying to kill you so complimenting him is going to help you out. Look you’ve already got the Intel so your goal is to escape the building without getting caught good luck.
THE INFILTRATOR
He seems to know me do you think it's... him?
THE OBSERVER
No it's not impossible don't you remember that mission was a failure their were no survivors
THE INFILTRATOR
(Slightly sad) yeah your right it was...
The Infiltrator walks out of the corridor and makes a break for the stairs but as he when he gets half way down them The Hunter appears and begins to chase him. Around the building and whenever he gets close The Hunter tries to grab The Infiltrator in an attempt to knock him out however The Infiltrator always gets away.
The Infiltrator is running for the exit but The Hunter blocks the exit
THE HUNTER
Did you really expect you’d escape?
THE INFILTRATOR
You, Who the hell are you!?
THE HUNTER
My name is irrelevant, All that matters is you die here like your friend!
In a blind rage The Infiltrator runs towards The Hunter only for him to reach into his pocket for a weapon
THE OBSERVER
Hey Infiltrator whats going on respond...Infiltrator do you hear me? Damn it!

Preproduction 1 Location Recce
Location Recce
Before we start filming I went to the film location and took photo's of the area so I could see what I can use to improve our film.
Corridors
When I went to the location I discovered that there were many different corridors all around the building. This will be beneficial to our film because it will give us a larger area to film the chase sequence.
Furthermore, Some of the corridors lead to a dead end or a locked door. We could use this areas as places for The Infiltrator to hide from The Hunter during the chase sequence and also when he is communicating with The Observer.
Also the corridors which have loads of turns can be used to create suspense as The Hunter could be hiding behind one of the corners preparing to attack The Infiltrator.
Stairs
Another thing that I discovered about the location is that the stairs within the building can be used to create very interesting camera shots such as the second photo which shows what a low angle shot from the top of the stairs looks like.
Also, Similar to what I said about the corridors they lead to many places around the film location this means that I can use them to make the chase scene go around the whole building which will help make my chase scene longer.
In addition, this set of stairs has a small part by the door in the photo that could also be used by The Infiltrator to hide from The Hunter and when he talks to The Observer.

Font research
Font research
As part of our film research i'm going to find several different fonts that can be used in a film opening and discuss which one I think will be the most useful.
1. Stand by action
2. Action Force Normal
Similar to the previous font it is big and bold so it will be easy to read. However, whats different is that the style of the font makes it look like it's from a computer screen which is commonly seen in modern action films such as the some of the new James bond films like Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2016)
3.Agency FB
This is a good font because while its thinner than the other fonts all letters can be upper and lower case. This is useful because I could use the upper case font for character names and the films title and the lower case font for small text for minor roles such as the behind the scenes crew names.
4.Metal Gear
What I like about this font is the style of it making it look like its is from a computer similar to the Action force font I talked about earlier. but it's much thicker so it easier to read. However because of the style of the font it may be hard for some people to read so I may only use this font for the title of my film and another one for the rest of the writing.
5 Johnny Fever
This font is based on retro action films which can be seen through the bold style of the font which was used a lot back then for film titles so I may use this font for the film title as while not common it's still used to this day.
6. Megatron
Similar to the Johnny Fever font this font is based on the Retro Transformers TV show title. However, it is also used for names and things in the title sequence (character roles). Also, the fonts style looks robotic and futuristic (fits the shows theme) so I may use it in my film opening as it resembles some machine like fonts that are now used today.
7. Hauser
This font is a lot like the Action Force Normal font as both are bold and thick. However, the difference is that Hauser is not tilted and is instead straight which may make it easier for some people to read.
8. Impact
The impact font is thick and bold like most of the other fonts I already mentioned . However whats different is that all the letters are really close to each other so this makes them stand out more compared to other fonts so it may be good for the films title.
9. Blade Runner
Like the name suggests this is the font for the action film Blade Runner (1982). What I like about this mod is that while it has its own style (the line through all the letters) it can still be easily read as it stands out because its in bold.
10. American Captain
The final font I may use is based on the title font in the Captain America films. Firstly, the letters are notably larger and thinner than the other fonts so they still stand out compared to the others.
