Next piece of coursework - 2 minute intro. to a film.

I had originally chosen to do an action/thriller film. I researched the generic conventions of this genre, analysing "Gladiator", "Gone in 60 Seconds", "Shooter", "Jet Li's Fearless" and "The Matrix".
However, somehow my idea transformed into a comedy. The film is set in the modern day and is a cop comedy called "Fo' Sho' Mo' Fo' that's Crackalackin'!"

100 Word Synopsis

Fo Sho' Mo' Fo' That's Crackalackin'!!

The film begins showing the characters doing what they do; the officers are in the field, the sergeant is at the station. There is a massive heist and Sergeant Tinkle calls his best officers only to find they’ve all fallen ill. Leaving Officer Retro-Face, who’s stuck in the 70s, and Tubgins to solve the case. The film follows the duo on their Tandem as they attempt to solve the mystery. They often don’t get very far into their detective work before Retro-Face hears a funky jam he can’t resist and Tubgins sees a hot dog stand. Then they stumble upon a friendly gangsta who takes pity on them and teaches the ways of hip hop allowing them to get inside the hood and find the criminals.
