A film by Eoin McCoy, Aaron Esteban and Ciaran Hines
-Defying Conventions of The Hacker-
When we came to an agreement on creating a hacking film, we didn't want to make it stereotypical or cliché when creating the characters and their dialogue. We wanted to tackle a style of film that hacking has never really been implemented into. This is the adolescent action adventure genre, these films were very popular in the 1980s and they showed the ambitious and somewhat unrealistic adventure of a group of kids. We wanted to bring back and modernise this genre as we feel that these films are very fun to watch.
When using the hacking theme we wanted to defy the clichés and conventions of the hacker, we started by focusing on making believable characters, being the age of these characters I was able to understand how they would talk to each other naturally. I wrote the first draft of the screenplay which you can read here. I showed this screenplay to the rest of the group for feedback and we drastically changed the tone and ending of the film. With this feedback we realised that it was too dialogue heavy and needed more action so I took away unnecessary dialogue and added a chase scene to give this opening scene more of a purpose. You can read this updated screenplay to see the differences here
Noah, Ben and Ava are the main protagonists of this film, each are brilliant with computers but very different when it comes to personality. Having vastly different personalities within the friend group allows friction between characters when in disagreement, it also allows them to point out each others flaws.

We hope to create a believable and relatable film that will excite the audience.
