4. KEY CHARACTERS
SCOTT SPRING - An adolescent school-boy, who gets himself into a
situation when he steals an object of great value from the well-known
and connected gang he used to belong to in his London suburb.
Scott’s family has recently been evicted from their home and are in
desperate need of money. The object is a key piece in allowing Scott
to a fortune and a resolution to his problems.
JAVIER MENDEZ - The grown-man who operates the gang, employing
adolescent and impressionable teenagers to run his illegal and immoral
errands for a share in his fortune. The object has great value to Mendez
and it becomes his prerogative to get it back.
DAMIEN JOHNSON - One of the more recognised and useful members
of the gang, Damien is part of the duo who will hunt down Scott and
retrieve their boss’ item.
GREG HEDGER – Damien’s right-hand-man and equally as skilled
member of the gang, he will prove difficult to outrun.

5. BRIEF OUTLINE OF FILM
BEGINNING- Scott leaves his gang and steals the key to a warehouse
filled with stashed away money from drug-laundering and various
robberies etc. The audience don’t know this at this point in the story,
the object remains a concealed mystery as he is chased throughout
the streets. He finds safety and plans his journeys.
MIDDLE- The gang are after him and follow him in every direction he
goes, a race against the clock forms as the gang begin to get closer
and have some encounters with him where he gets away each time.
Tension builds as Scott becomes closer to his fortune, but the gang get
closer and closer to him.
END- Reaches the warehouse and finds it to be already occupied by
thugs from a different background, who seem to have found the
fortune first. Scott cuts his ties with his pursuers and convinces them to
join him and take down the thugs together and split the money.

6. TITLE SEQUENCE
Our sequence will be a continuity sequence, setting the scene for the
rest of our film and introducing some of the key characters

7. TARGET AUDIENCE PROFILE
This is Dave
Dave is 16, and enjoys action-thrillers.
Dave often watches crimewatch and
enjoys the film Taken. He regularly uses
twitter and facebook and could see the
film advertised here. His favourite
pastime is listening to music and seeing
his friends. Dave would like the film
because all of his favourite films have
elements that are explored in our film. He
also could relate to the characters what
with them being a similar age to him.

8. INFLUENTIAL SEQUENCES AND FILMS
Some sequences that have influenced our film are as follows-
CASINO ROYALE- The chase scene in the opening of the film, this
influenced massively our chase scene opening.
TAKEN- The consistent pursuit theme is something that is eminent in our
film throughout the plot of our film.
ADULTHOOD/KIDULTHOOD- We took the young gang theme from these
films and also some of the setting will resemble that of these films.

9. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
- Is our storyline exciting enough? Could it become boring?
- Are our characters credible enough?
- Do we have a large enough target audience?
