The Treatment

Treatment

“One More”

This will be a fast action film with many fast edits and cuts to keep the viewer excited.

I feel it could be the start of a great film / TV concept.

The film is about A secret agent ( Agent Q6 ) who works for MI5, he is the best

there is.  

While on a special mission he is killed. His body is collected and taken to a special project facility where his body is entered into the “Photostat” program. This is a new secret and experimental project. Once put through the system the body comes back to life and gives the Agent a sort of superpower which means he is able to regenerate a number of clones (only one at a time) and effectively come back to life again if killed.

In my film our hero above is sent on a dangerous mission by his commander.

This takes him to a world of villains and baddies that he has to battle with to complete his mission. During this mission he gets to use his regeneration power.

Within this short film I develop a character ( Agent Q6 ) that could become a hero or slip into the dark side. It is the sort of story that could lead to many films being based around the Photostat program and or my hero Agent Q6.

Outline budget:

I am making the film without a budget other than the time of the people / actors and my time to write / create and edit the film.

I have a few friends lined up to play the roles within the film and as its a short film I expect the filming will take up no more than a couple of days.

I have already found the locations and although not close to each other the travelling will be easy / simple to arrange. So we will travel by train to one location in London a friend's mothers office and by car to a local run down building which is ideal for most of the action scenes etc.

Equipment / Software

I already have a camera and tripod plus lighting if required. I am hoping not to have to use lighting but I have it on standby if needed.

To make this film work I will need to spend a lot of time after it has been filmed adding special effects.  I again already have the software I need to edit and create the special effects I want. Below is a list of software I expect to need / use.

Final Cut pro X

After Effects

Cinema 4D

Video Copilot Pro Scores

Video Copilot Action Essentials

Davinci Resolve

Cast

I don’t need a large cast and in effect there are only 4 main characters but gang members make up the backing and I can use as many as I can get to join in.

Below is a list of the characters I need to find actors for:

Agent Q6

This is the main character in the film. He is the good guy but very much with a darkside.

He is confident and knows he can survive any situation.

Head of MI5

Agent Q6’s old boss who does not like him.

John Siren

Main boss of the bad guys.

Hologram

Appears in Agent Q6’s car and gives him his missions.

Goon / Gang member 1

Goon / Gang member 2

Goon / Gang member 3

Goon / Gang member 4

Costumes / props

My cast will need normal clothes but we will need a selection of guns / weapons.

I have a friend that has lots. Problem is they are all orange and I need them to look real so we will spray them all black before filming

Contingency plans

As I am using friends the main problem would be that they can’t make it or something like that.

I have a few friends that have volunteered to help so even if someone could not make it I should be covered.

I have selected the sets carefully but if for some reason we could not get to them I can film at home or outside.

All / 90% of the filming is inside so weather should not be a problem.

Research

I have spent a bit of time looking for the right setting for this film as it will help set the atmosphere.

I plan to use a friend’s mothers office in London and a local run down building for most of the filming.

As this is a secret agent film I have enjoyed myself watching many great films like James Bond. I was also lucky enough to go to the James Bond exhibition with my college that help with my research.
