Abdi- will portray the character Malik who is the main protagonist in this production. Malik is a former gang member who has been experiencing flashbacks of his experience as a gang member after crossing paths with old settings.

John- Marvin will portray the character of Lucas who is now Maliks closest freinds and has relatively never been involved in the supposed 'gang life'

further casting will be confirmed

location

park royal tunnel- why we chose this as our original setting is because of the dark setting we can implicate by generate with each of our shots. this will truly clarify our camera work. this will be our secondary location as it cannot signify the importance of our primary location.

another location we chose to shoot in was grand union village, why we chose this location is because it is a convenient location to film clear shots where the set up of the area is relative to our production. grand union village also features a canal which carefully links to the plot of possesses elements of violence.


characters

Malik
Lucas
group of gangsters
Benjamin
Donald Price

props 

magnum gun- this will explore elements of the protagonists troubled childhood and how he has dealt with guns throughout his life and is still having issues with them now.

knife- not definitely used but explicitly details the dangers that symbolise the power and destruction in which can be caused by the knife.

iphone- not entirely important but links to the scene.


smoking products- needed to link in our scene

costume and make-up

hoodies and sweatshirts- basic clothing

make up may be needed if in fact we do decide to participate in a fight scene, however we do not intend to make it seem cliche.


malik may be shown in formal dressing  when we see the transformation he had from a gang member to a sophisticated young man.


lighting

high key lighting will be used at specific elements especially in the tunnel due to the darkness during when we are shooting

low key lighting will be used when we finally meet the boss' Donald Price' as it will implicate he has a sense of power and dominance

  Malik stares into space as he looks back, completely ignoring 
  Lucas.

                 Malik
                 I been here holmes.

  Lucas squints his eye, laying his right hand out.

                 Lucas
                 The fuck you talking about, Malik? 

  Malik, looking around almost as if he's exploring a ruin.

                 Malik
                 This is where Life 1 ended for me, bro.

  Lucas, looking at his cigarette confusingly, carelessly     throws it on the floor.
