Hey guys!
just looking for some ideas here!
Last year I shot a detective/scene 5 min drama and got an A2 for it. I am now going into my third and final year of Film and Television and we have to shoot a 10 min film.
If you want to see my film from last year check here
I've decided to stay within the crime genre and would love to hear suggestions for a twist / different ending to my story as I really don't like it
Here is my story, spec me a ending! (I'm looking for a good twist. i've considered having the policeman being the guy who's framing Joe)
Joe and Scott are on their way to a social event and have both had a bit to drink beforehand. Whilst walking to their destination Scott decides he wants to take a leak. He walks down an alley whilst Joe sits on the kerb waiting. Whilst Joe is waiting he hears the sound of glass smashing. Joe presumes Scott has dropped his drink and begins laughing; he calls out Scott’s name but get’s no reply.
Joe walks down the alley and finds Scott unconscious on the floor with a large gash to the head. Joe tries to phone the police but is out of battery, he checks Scott’s pocket for his phone but fails to find one. Joe knocks on two nearby houses in an attempt to use a phone in a household but neither opens their front door.
Despite having been drinking alcohol, Joe panics and decides that he is going to have to drive Scott to hospital. Joe picks up Scott and lies him down in the back seat of his car.
Whilst driving, Joe is pulled over by a police car for reckless driving. The policeman asks Joe if has been drinking to which Joe responds yes. The policeman looks inside the car and sees a body in the back with a large wound to the head. The policeman forces Joe to the ground and handcuffs him accusing him of drink driving and suspicion of murder. Joe protests his innocence whilst the policeman calls for paramedics.
Two days later and Scott is in a coma. Joe is brought forward for interrogation. From the Police’s perspective it seems as if Joe had assaulted an innocent man and was on his way to dispose of the body. The detective/interrogator asks many questions, for example, why was a public phone not used?
The Film concludes with Joe being found guilty of both drink driving and attempted murder and is sentenced to life in prison. Scott wakes from his coma four years later and Joe is released from prison and compensated.
