Synopsis

Dissection: Bishop is a no nonsense DCI, brought through the ranks by the old style police officers that were not afraid to get their hands dirty to find the truth. However tensions arise when he is partnered with Youngs, a new constable, bright eyed and immature behaviour rubs the pair the wrong way. This though will have to be overlooked as they are now both faced with one of the most sadistic series of murders in British history, Jack the Ripper would be proud. They must put aside their differences and find the definition of pure evil hiding inside someone’s body, before time catches up to them. Bishop and Youngs must keep their eyes peeled because the killer may be closer than they think. The synopsis (above) for the film is trying to show the genre in the way it is written. The idea is to show the genre of horror by comparing our villain to Jack the Ripper as he, being one of the most infamous killers, is known for the evil and gruesome way in which his victims were killed and we want to show the killer in our film like this so that it fits with the tension and fear factor of the Horror genre. The way we try to show the thriller aspect in the film is by using the phrase ‘before time catches up to them’ this is a way of foreboding the story as it makes people wonder how the detectives could potentially outwitted. However it also suggests there will be suspense in a limited amount of time and on top of this suggests danger because it is showing that the two main characters are in dangerous territory. The film is going to try to show this by using a twist early on in the opening of the film where the idea of the killer being close becomes relevant to the context of the film. This concept then adds tension and the scenes with the killer are going to provide an aspect of Horror.
