Basic Plot Synopsis: James Ford was a government agent before he lost his memory and now he has been recruited by a notorious crime boss who he once used to fight against and is being blackmailed to deliver a file and he must deliver it if he is to be given his memory back.
Introduction of key Characters:
James Ford: main character( the story revolves around him and his actions)
Woman: mysterious character she will be a classic femme fatale character
Boss: A notorious crime boss who as an opportunistic man senses his opportunity to capitalize on his once enemies skills
Henchmen: they work for the henchmen and they are overseeing the operation to make sure James does not go off track
Government Agents: they work for the government and are James' former colleagues they remember him but does he remember them.
Act 1: During the first scene James is at gun point and the audience is left at a cliff hanger .He is being held against a wall and the audience has no idea what is going to happen. The second scene introduces us more in depth to James Ford (our Main Character) ,we will use narration in order to add the classic film noir feel coupled with jazz music to make a fantastic feel during this we will establish his life story. The third scene will establish the main story plot of the file being given to James by the mystery woman.
Act 2:
This scene will pick up pace progressively throughout.It will show the organisation leading a background check upon James as they are looking at him in order to embroil him within their plot .They have the plan to use him as a private transporter due to his innate abilities in espionage, even though he has forgotten large chunks of his memory his abilities remain. The Organisation are going to bribe him with the promise that they can give him his memory back, that adds in an unborn dilemma of the fact that he knows that what he is doing is wrong but he has no other choice.
Act 3:
The next scene is on a train and it shows our actor being watched and followed by some shady individuals.He suspects that he is being watched by them through his ability to sense when he is being watched, he then tries to get away from the people following him. It then switches to a chase scene and he comes to a clearing where he is met by the people following him who then threaten him and put him at gun point.The trailer will then end with a gun shot and the camera moving out towards the sky with smooth jazz music setting a melo film noir theme for the end of the trailer.
