week 1: film plot and summary

For this task my group consists of Will Turner (me), Conor O’Sullivan, Lyle Petts and Andrew Lloyd-Jones. We have all been allocated roles in the two minute opening of our film. We have gained inspiration from films like ‘Green Street’ and ‘Football Factory’

Our film is called Holloway Road. It is a British crime drama and explores the nature of football hooliganism and anti social behaviour.
Conor O’Sullivan will be in charge of the filming and the camera
Lyle Petts will be narrating over the montage at the beginning and will be the distinct lead role.
I and Andrew will be in extra actors in film and play football hooligans.

A film will be set and based around the Arsenal Football stadium and the streets around it including Holloway Road which is how we decided upon our title. We have not allocated names for our characters yet, but we will be changing then to more common English cockney names. The film is mainly about an undercover cop who needs to get close to the football hooligans in order to understand them and to lead them into a trap to get them arrested. The group of young hooligans have a distinct reputation and are known all over the football violence underworld. The police want to congregate as much evidence as they possibly can, so their final sentence is maximised. The police officer becomes so occupied and engaged with all the violence he forgets the real reason he started to be with the firm. The firm gain more and more trust with the officer who leads him to feel he needs to be loyal with his new fans and club.
