Voiceover Script

Scene starts with a boy of about 16 sitting in the tunnel looking shady. The tunnel is long and wide and it is in the day time.

Youths walk over in urban clothing with a annoyed look on their faces.

Youth 1 : Oi blud, what the fuck you doin' 'ere

(DJ sits there looking amused)

Freeze frame on DJ and cuts to a non diegetic voice over of DJ

DJ : Thats me. Made an orphan at the age of three and committing crimes by the age of five. The names DJ by the way and I ain't here to bore you with some bloody sob story about how no one loved me. Nah I've got more important things to worry about. You see my and my associate Pillz. (cuts to a scene of Pillz assaulting a young man and then eating a tangerine afterwards) Well lets just say that we've got some business to deal with. 

Pillz walks up and points knife at the youths. Boys run and D.J and Pillz sit there laughing and pull out tangerines.

The beginning scene for this film is similar to the one we have in mind. The reason why want this sort of beginning is because it can help give an in is to what the film if completed would have. Silty different our beginning scene is going to involve our to actors pillz and dj sitting at a bench waiting to cause trouble. 

Our film been only 2 minutes long it will be to our benefit having a good beginning in which people maybe able relate, wonder and envision what it would be like if it was a  full length film. kidulthood been one of the most successful british films it is good to try and relate and get ideas from good sources like it also it also it is important for us to note and learn something off it for future reference.

Release Strategy

We plan on releasing our movie using a Blanket Release strategy, so that the film is widely released on over 300 cinema screens over the country to recieve the best reaction to it possible. Also, by doing it this way it will have a greater effect on the amount of money taken in by the film at box office.

Following a cinema release, the film would then be released on DVD and Blu-Ray, availible to download online (Such as iTunes) and release a soundtrack with all the best sounds featured in the movie. If the production is found to be successful in the UK, producers could take action on whether to release it world wide, hitting the USA and making even more money still. Other merchandise such as posters, T-Shirts and keyrings will also be produced. This way the film would be more widely known, not only nationally but also internationally.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LqzWyunWMk&feature=PlayList&p=191ABB5625547580&index=0&playnext=1) - Opening of 'Adulthood'.

The opening to this film is similar to the way that we wish to present the opening of our film. We could show short sequences of the two main characters to introduce their characters as well as introduce the genre, setting, and mise en scene of the film. This particular opening sequence relates back to the genre of our film well, as the teenage crime thriller action is similar to our thoughts.

Although our film is only a two minute opening sequence, I feel that we could get many elements into this short sequence of time to clearly introduce and present the theme and genre of our film. We plan to have two feature stars, corrupt youths trying to make a name for themselves in the gritty streets that they live in.

We plan to appeal to a target market audience of teenagers and young adults, that could possibly relate to the things that are happening in the opening sequence. To do this, we want to set the rating as a 15, as this then enables teenagers to view it and not restrict the target audience by setting the film rating as an 18 - if this was to happen then this would majorly restrict things, such as sales and opening box office releases after the planned blanket release.

As a group we decided to film in Reigate despite our original setting of London. This will be easier as we have more time to film as there is only a short distance to travel. This way, we have more time to film and produce.

There will be two key themes to the opening of the film to present - One being the relationship shared between people and how certain events and environments can affect them, and secondly the corrupt and gritty streets of some neighbourhoods.

Synopsis -
A day in London can last an eternity on the streets. In a neighborhood where respect is everything, the only thing missing is respect. Two corrupt youths are out to make a name for themselves among the gritty streets of London. However, not everyone is prepared to let them move in on their turf. One day will change everything. The only question is; can they survive it? As they're faced with trouble, revenge and violence they must make decisions that will challenge their whole ethic. They say the streets show no mercy, they are about to see how far the streets will be pushed, one thing is for sure; karma is about to bite back.

DJ, made an orphan by the streets is bitter, twisted and out to get revenge. He has no morals and lives on the edge. Together with his drug addict associate Pillz, they set out to increase their reputation all the while carrying a sinister motif. These two are heartless and cold, but they do say that revenge is best served as a cold dish.
