A Wild Wolf Production

Storyline
Chalky is a local white boy who gets himself involved in the wrong crowd. Chalky starts to get himself involved in crimes at first he start of with petty crimes e.g. stealing from shops (shoplifting) and just being a general nuisance the story unfolds we see gradually see chalky progress from a small time offer to a fully fledge criminal. Chalky gets himself involved in even more heaver crimes and his mums begin to get worried about him. But every thing chances when he meets a girl. However this girl turns out to be an undercover police bent on bring justice back on the street by bring down the criminals. But Chalky doesn't know this piece of information and is unaware of her true purpose and her plan to betray him. Unfortunately the under cover cop dies during a feud with some gangs leaving chalky broken hearted so this makes him go on a revenge mission to get revenge on the person who killed is love. Unfortunately for chalky it all goes horribly wrong and chalky ends up dieing as well on the streets.

The Opening sequence
Our 2 minutes opening sequence will be showing the main characters Chalky and his best friend Rascal. First the will be a black out in the beginning of opening sequence and then it will go straight in to the footage, The first thing we well hear is a shop keeper shouting "What are you doing, come back here you dirty beggar" and then we will see an establishing shot of a shop from the shop we will see a young person running out of the store carrying bars of chocolate (mars bar) and a couple of drink his arms will be filled up with so many stolen goods that his going to be dropping them as his running a way from the shop. As he is running the will be a slow motion showing him running away from the store and him dropping some objects one by one then it will go back in to a fast past as he escapes the shop and the shopkeeper and he will go to a flat building (the Lego Tower) to meet this best friend Rascal how is a fat, chubby guy and he will sit down with him sharing the food and the drink chalky stole and talking about their day. We will also have a fast past gangster/ crime style music playing in background of the opening sequence so that the audience can easily identify was type of genre of film their watching and we will have a voice over of the chalky telling us his story of how he died later in the opening sequence and in the film and at the beginning when the shopkeeper is shouting at him we will have a voice over for that as well. We have also decided to have the characters wear costumes such as hoodies and track suites to make the film even more identifiable and to help create the scene and atmosphere of a crime driving community. We well use camera angles such as low shoot angle and high shoot angle, close ups and we will be using a lot of flat shoot angle as well.
