Narative Run Through


  • Shows logos – diegetic sound of car crash – no visual
     
  • Cut to child crying/hiding (just experienced crash/trauma), comforting hand of other child, go to a bench/seat, one comforts the other – They become better friends through this
     
  • Graphic match to same hands in hospital – EMOTIONAL HOSPITAL BIT
     
  • Shows flashback through editing – bright white – zoom into hospital light (now show their lives before this hospital bit
     
  • Cut to posh guy getting ready early in the morning – showing him taking pride in his appearance, putting on a suit, combing his hair etc (camera as mirror?)
     
  • Show watch/clock, then cutting to watch/clock in misfortunate guy’s room, (showing the same time) – still in bed, room is a tip, obviously doesn’t care, no self-pride etc – fades out to black (now jumps to different day in these guys lives - still in past before hospital)
     
  • Fortunate guy getting out of fancy car, walks into nice building, pans from guy going into door to sign by the door advertising interview/internship – making progress in his career
     
  • Cuts to misfortunate guy dealing drugs/taking drugs in alleyway – shady, not good
     
  • misfortunate guy on bench  – costume/mise-en-scene shows he’s scruffy – fortunate guy walks up in very posh suit – obviously well-off – sits down to eat his lunch
     
  • Pause, then moment of realisation as they recognise each other
  • Ten cuts to showing the rich guy helping the less fortunate, spending time together-catching up (in coffee shop?)

Narative Ideas



Drugs

Person leaves group because taking drugs -> pushes group away -> group try and understand

OR

Girlfriend and boyfriend get into drugs and become unhealthily obsessed with each other. Girl try’s to get out and get away from boy

Gangs/Gang Crime:

Friends reunite to find they all have no money and no jobs.

Make a plan to steal a load of money from someone or somewhere and improve lives.

Poverty vs Wealth:

Transition from two childrens childhood.

One is now wealthy other is not

Wealthy friend helping out unwealthy friend,

Wealthy one is ill all along, falls seriously ill.

Unwealthy guy sees him in hospital
