Film Storyline by William Haines

William Haines' Film Storyline Idea

Genre = Action

This is my personal film storyline idea. Due to the final project we are making being the opening sequence of the movie. I went more in depth for the beginning opening scene then I did with the middle and end.

Beginning Opening Scene

Title Sequence, Demarco (Main Protagonist) is standing over a case, a man comes up behind him and swings at him. Cuts to black and shows the name of the main actor, fades from black and Demarco is smacking the man’s head against a fridge and cuts to black again showing the name of another actor. Fades from black with the man on the floor and Demarco walking away, leaving the building.

Demarco walks down a street with a phone against his ear. We hear his conversation with his boss, Nikolai, who greets him and congratulates him on his successful mission. We then cut to another man who is within the building. Screen cuts to black and shows another actor but you can still hear the conversation, Nikolai tells him that someone might be hunting Demarco. Fades out of black showing the man who walks into the room where the fight took place. Cuts back to Demarco who is walking along the street (Long shots to show Isolation). Nikolai remains silent as Demarco stops and turns around. Demarco asks for more information, he wants to know who it might be and what their goal is. Nikolai replies with “It’s Matteo”. (Demarco worked with Matteo for a very long time and became best friends, they fell out at some point)

Demarco begins to turn around on the spot, checking every corner and roofline. He then begins to walk back to the fight scene where he finds that the door is open. We cut to Matteo who is inspecting the case. Demarco suddenly appears and runs up behind him. A fast paced action scene starts and the criminal is choked to death, it was one of Matteo’s henchmen.

Middle

 Demarco walks out of the building with the case, he then turns a corner and walks down the street to Nikolai’s building. They meet up and talk, they find leads regarding Matteo. Action scenes of a fight with some random guys on the street, Demarco goes undercover and joins up with the team of professional bad guys that Matteo might be a part off. Demarco has to try and get closer to Matteo through his friends. He infiltrates deep into the group and even becomes friends with some of them. He goes on heists with Matteo’s group

End

 He finally gets close to Matteo. Matteo is aware of Demarco among his friends and points him out during a meeting. (Demarco is watching in the shadows and is surprised when Matteo turns his head to face him). Demarco has to fight off Matteo and some of his groups. Some of the others don’t actually like Matteo and eventually during their fight they give up on Demarco and start fighting Matteo. Matteo is bested and killed, Demarco walks away.
