1. Affiliation Concept Notes


Synopsis
The film is about seven gangs that decide to form an alliance to stop inter-gang wars. Time
has past since this treaty was formed and most of the gang leaders have been killed. Two of
the gang leaders meet in a bar to talk about what has been going on recently and reminisce
about their past. One of the gang members who didn’t join the alliance shows up and ends
up shooting one of the people already inside the bar.

Log line
The script is about a few gangs that decide to make a peace treaty. This is so they can get
more stuff done and don’t need to worry about being attacked if they enter the territory of
the other gangs. One of the gangs refuses to join and is killing the other gang leaders
because they have joined this alliance.

Characters

Spencer – Blind gang leader, prefers to strategize and outsmart his peers, dresses in dark
long coat and always wears a hat. Carries a single playing card (King of Spades) as he
believes that there is a certain order of dominance within the affiliation, and he often sees
himself on top.

Benjamin – Gang leader, prefers a physical approach to situations, quick to draw his gun
and end things quickly but also able to outsmart his opponent if without a weapon, dresses
in a dark waistcoat an always carries a flask of Root Beer to sip on when he needs it.

Anthony – Unaffiliated gang leader, believes that there’s more strength in independence
than in an affiliation and thrives in playing mind games with his opponent when confronting
them. Wears a scruffy-looking coat as well as a pocket watch and enjoys tasting any alcohol
that is present where he goes.

Pete – Owner of a bar that serves as a central meeting hub for the affiliated gang leaders,
never playing for only one team and always making a deal that benefits primarily his own
interests, even if he has to betray an old friend along the way. Wears a classic, simple dark
shirt and often serves the worst quality of alcohol in his bar, which many affiliated know.

the meeting point for all the gang leaders that signed a peace treaty about 10 years ago.

everyone apart from the gang leaders who each wear different types of cufflinks.

Target audience

The target audience for my movie is 16 – 24 years of age. This is because the film includes
violence as well as drinking mature themes. I’ve rated the film this as it doesn’t have things
in it such as mature language.
