Tuesday 13th Jan 09 - Deciding a plot line

Today we discussed various ideas for our film plot. Unfortunately, we could not discuss our ideas with the whole group because one member of the group, Steven was absent doing an exam. We will put forward our ideas to Steven when he next returns.
This was our initial idea for the film:
A street gang is owed money for a particular cause that is unknown to the audience. They are walking down a street one day when they are faced against their rival gang. A chase begins between the gang and their opposition which leads them through a public area such as a park or a forest. Eventually the opposition get cornered and are captured and take them into their custody. The gang give the victims a choice between paying them back by the following day, joining their gang or losing their life. Two of the victims disagree and are given 24 hours to escape. One however, decides to stay and join. The new member is sent by the gang on various jobs like debt collecting or beating up who causes problems for the gang members. One particular job the gang member is sent on is a hit-man job on one person who owes the gang a lot of money. This is much more serious than anything the member has done before and is faced with the biggest decision of his/her life. Will the well respected new gang member fulfill the task? Or will he/she see sense before its too late.

Now we have the initial plot idea, we can now start working on the actual title sequence of the film.
