Full Synopsis

This is our Full Synopsis:

1996. A mother and father die in a car crash in the South of London, their 1 year old son, Luke, is sent to an orphanage. He is eventually adopted aged 2 into the Morgan household. For 15 years Luke didn't fit in. He was bullied in private school, thrown out of boxing club, and generally out of place. 2012. Aged 17 Luke Pine discovers the car crash which killed his family. An anonymous tip takes Luke to his birth father, who takes Luke under his wing for his new organisation. A year later after working for his father, he discovers he has been assisting his father in organised crime, and the car crash was a cover up for an attempted assassination, in which Luke, and his father survived, and Luke's father swore revenge on the government for killing his wife. Luke is then faced with a moral dilemma as to whether he kills his Dad, or assists him. He kills his Dad.

When it came to writing this, we had some complications in terms of wording and how much of the story we were supposed to give away, as it is a full synopsis, we were supposed to give away the whole plot so we ended up doing that.

Another difficulty we had was deciding exactly what our story would be, we had our basic idea of an orphan and some story about his parents, but we needed to figure out exactly how the plot would develop. We came up with a set up car crash but then we needed to piece together why someone would  want to kill the family, how, whether or not Luke knows he's an orphan. Eventually we came up with this plot we have now, we added in a plot twist at the end in which Luke needs to make a moral decision. We needed to figure out where we would film all these shots, but we have a warehouse at our disposal, and of course numerous public places and houses.

Another issue was, and still is, the cast. We needed 3 male characters, Jake was originally going to play the main character Luke, but decided against it. We do have a new cast but height may become an issue so we may have to find our way around this.
