Film Treatment

The title of our film is called Shakilla, named after the killer 'Shakeel Mirza'

Due to our questionnaire our film has targeted our genre to be action-thriller. This includes murder, chase sequences and some violence. Our story is set in the streets of Whitton. This makes our thriller even scarier as the usual thriller locations they are normally shot in isolated areas, we however wanted to be original.

What happens in the opening sequence?

In the opening sequence of our action-thriller Wayne (Simran Grewal) leaves a house party. After leaving the house he see's a strange man just standing in the middle of road. Wayne looks straight at Tyga (Shakeel Mirza). Tyga seems to have a feud against Sim, this is where the thriller begins, Wayne quickly throws a punch at Tyga and makes a run for it. He runs through the alleys of Whitton. Some Sci-fi conventions where added due to special effects, Drakes (Aaron Virdi) are the clones that have been added.  This is where the chase sequence begins. Wayne comes to a dead end, this is where the confrontation begins. Wayne manages to run backwards but suddenly he gets run over by Tyga. Tyga unwinds his window to confirm the kill with an evil grin on his face. After seeing this he drives off.

Themes

•   Revenge-  Tyga (the antagonist) has made a list of the people that ruined his acting career, he is going to kill them one by one. Wayne is top on his list and is the first victim.

•   Murder - A lot of murder will be in the opening sequence, hence the title 'Shakilla'. The first murder will occur in the opening sequence where 'Sim' is ran over.

•   Sci-fi - The use of clones adds a bit of sci-fi to the thriller. Shakeel knows he cannot attempt all these murders by himself, so he finds a way to clone humans!

•   Obsession - Shakeel seems to have an obsession to kill all the people that ruined his career and thrives on murder.
