Niko's Proposition - Opening Sequence Treatment

Niko’s Proposition – Full Film Treatment

 

Niko’s Proposition – 2 Minute Sequence Treatment

 

Title: The title of the film is Niko’s Proposition.

Duration: Estimate 2 minutes to 3 minutes.

Audience:

Our film is aimed at 15 years to 50 year olds who have an interest in Action and Crime films. Stereotypically, males aged 15-50 may like this film as intense action is more associated with males, while romance is often associated with females. Similar films and tv-series such as The Sopranos, Pulpfiction and Narcos have a similar demographic; young males. The certificate rating of our film is a 15. This is because it has violence, bad language, references to drugs being taken and strong references to drugs being sold.

Distributer:

The most ideal distributor is a famous conglomerate, preferably a long time industry veteran so we know we can trust their decisions. If we were a professional film making company ourselves, and we do not own a distributing company (Not a conglomerate, having to resort to horizontal integration instead of vertical integration) it would be in our best interest to work with a professional distributing company so the product which we have spent ages making (and is of high quality) doesn’t go to waste.

Certificate:

The certificate of our film is a strong 15, of course various countries have different views on controversial topics, so even though they might keep it at a 15, we may need to censor our final product. And with the opening sequence of our film having strong references to drugs, the film may not be allowed to air in some countries. (Possibly bumped up to an 18)

Summary of the opening few minutes:

The title sequence ends and transitions into the drug deal scene. Demarco is making a deal with Alexei and Lucas.
