Title change

We have decided to rename our film from "The Backpack" to "The pack of lies". We chose to do this because we were not 100% happy with The Backpack. The pack of lies also seems more mysterious but it still gives a hint of what the film is about.

Results

People felt that out of the ten films we chose, five seemed to come under the genre of action adventure. (River Wild, Shoot 'em up, The A-Team, Snakes on a plane and Die hard 3.)
The age range we chose was 11-28 year olds as the main audience. We thought this would be appropriate because the majority of action/adventure films are viewed by this age range. The destinations people thought action adventure would work best are back alleys, deserted werehouses and on mode of transports.
For the costumes people suggested characters to wear dark clothing eg. leather jackets.

Plot

Agents try to obtain priceless items in many circumstances for years, some succeed some don't. An agent is requested by a boss to find a suspect who at first thought to be a male after a member of the public had mentioned somebody looking suspicious with a bag on their back. The agent sees a suspicious "man" entering a local recrational ground. At this point, the suspect realises "he" is being chased. "He" runs through the recreational ground, up an alley way and across a street where "he" throws the bag into a van and hurriedly jumps in after. As the suspect gets into the van, "his" black hood fell down and revealed that the suspect is a female. The van drives away quickly leaving the worn out agent to phone the boss. The boss is furious the agent has unable to catch the suspect and he informs the agent that the content of the bag could result in something fatal. It is now up to the agent to sort things out.
