Treatment

The subgenre is British Gangster and is inspired by ‘Layer Cake’ with the use of voiceover by the main character and contrast between smartly dressed characters and non-smartly dressed characters. In the opening there is a man who talks about his amazing life using a voiceover and the camera shows his life and family but then he goes into the bathroom and washes his face and when he looks up he’s changed and the tone of the voiceover changes with him, he walks out of the bathroom and the scene changes to an abandoned house where he is hiding from a debt collector. The character is now scruffily dressed and the debt collector is smartly dressed which creates a contrast between them. The character hides from the debt collector (no running or chase scenes) and he finds him and shines a light at his face and the picture freezes, although the voiceover continues for a few seconds before the scene ends. The location’s we are going to use are an abandoned house, a bathroom and a field. The abandoned house gives an eerie feeling and sets the atmosphere, the bathroom contrasts with the dark house and acts as a link between the characters new and old life. The field is an open but deserted space which implies the characters loneliness. The scene creates an enigma as the audience is left wondering why the character is being chased and why his life changed so much, if the film continued it would tell the characters story of why he changed and what happened between the two scenes shown in the opening.
