The protagonist is a girl named Maddy, who was deeply in love with her boyfriend Stephen, when unfortunately, he developed cancer and died.

What is their aim?

One day when Maddy visits Stephen's grave, she finds a photo of him and another girl. It is now obvouis to Maddy that Stephen was not the man she thought he was and she sets off to find the girl and kill her.

How do they have to achieve their aim?

Maddy has to achieve her aim by finding out who this mysterious girl is and where she comes from. As the whole thing has turned her slightly insane, she's determined and willfull to find whoever it is that stole her boyfriend.

What's the antagonistic force?

The antagonistic force is a variety of things. These include Stephen's family, as they wish to only love and move on from the tragic death of their beloved son, where as Maddy is determined to cause even more chaos and will not let things drop. So the antagonisitic force is actually Maddy being able to find out from anyone who this girl is and there are alot of obstacles in her way.

How do they end up overcoming the antagonistic force?

Stephen realised before he died that Maddy would eventually find out about his affair, so, choosing to leave it until after his death, he has placed letters at certain familiar places around England, explaining his wrong doing and saying sorry. However, he leaves it till the last letter to tell Maddy the name of the girl, as he wants to have Maddy back to sanity by the time she reads the last letter, and he hoped by then she will have realised his mistakes and his love for her. She will then not have to go in search of the girl, instead she can live with the love she new he had for her.

Synopsis of Preliminary Task

Synopsis of Preliminary Task


My group's preliminary task was based on an action/thriller genre movie. We thought that by making and filming a thriller or action movie, it would be most affective given the amount of time and the basic rules for the preliminary task.

Our movie is based on a evil, goldigger women (Selina) who has hired an unwilling citizen (Max) to kill her old husband. Knowing that her husband is on the verge of death, Selina takes full advantage as she is that one step closer to recieving her billionaire lover's fortune.

However, Selina's clever, and knowing that the police are already suspicious due to previous circumstances, she decides that killing her husband is not a job for her. Max who is resistant at first, cowardly and unwilling, eventually gives in due to the wad of cash offered to him if he completes this task, offers to kill Selina's husband.

Although, when Max arrives back at Selina's the next day, she asks him very forcefully ,'Did you do it?' There is no reply so she asks again, the next time screaming and again there is no reply. She gets up out of her seat and fires him in the head with her shotgun. Did Max really know what he was getting himself into? Never trust a pretty face.

Research for preliminary task

Research for preliminary task

For our preliminary task, we researched films in which the genre is action, however, the main villian is likely to be a women, for example, Demi Moore in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. She shows an evil villianous character with her wicked laugh and the gun she holds. The way she is presented also shows her to be of high authority and superior to the other characters.





Another action movie that our group found as influencial is 'Kill Bill Volume 1'













Photographic storyboard for preliminary task

Photographic storyboard for preliminary task

My prelim task focused on two individuals in a room, with one coming through a door. I've based my task on an action movie, involving a woman and a hitman. The woman is determined that the hitman has killed her husband, however, the hitman finds out that as he as not completed the job, his life ends.


We created a photographic storyboard in order to plan our task, using different shots and using the 180 degree rule at all times.
