storyline- script

The outline of our film: A psychotic gangster aims to win big in a roulette game. The gangster loses due to the other members of the game cheating which leads to the gangster's outrage, once the other players leave the room he simply cannot accept his loss and trashes the room. All of the winnings are spent on luxaries via the two ganster's who effectively stole the money; the psychotic gangster cannot control his anger which leads to interegation and the torturing of the two 'cheats' with a 'twist' (he aims to play a game of his own at their expense).
The script:
The film opens with a Arial shot around dusk time of a car coming into a car park, we then cut to a low angle shot of the car pulling up, we should be able to see the lights registration plate etc. The driver then comes out and we see his feet and then we tilt the camera upwards to the upper body where we see a hand open the door of the car and then a body falls limply, the gentleman is blooded up and gagged, only slightly conscious. The driver pulls him out and then walks him through a pair of double doors, the doorway should be groggy and slightly damaged. We don’t see the face of the driver yet.
We then got to a Long shot of a corridor. We hear shouts and scream from a prisoner and “Shut ups!” From cam as he marches down the corridor dragging the prisoner behind him, (Maybe during this action music and a few credits?) The camera focus on cam as he marches up the hall way bursting through doors he is dragging a figure with a bag on his head and hands tied behind his back. When cam gets close to the camera we pan round and get a shot from behind him and the masked figure as he throws him into a room. Cam turns round to face the camera looks up and down the hall and slams the door in the cameras “Face”
Where now inside a dark and damp room. One gagged prisoner is already on the floor and the newly bought in prisoner is thrown on to the floor at cams feet (Ben and Ryan?) one just been threw in, the other has been there for ? Amount of time
Cam lights a cigarette and sits down and takes the scene in. He takes a drag and begins to take the masks off the two prisoners they sit at his feet with their hands tied behind their back.
Cam: Boys, boys, boys... what am I going to do with you. (Pause) You gotta know if it was up to me you guys would be living it up at the moment, I’d let you go free, cos I’m just a nice guy. (Cam turns to one of them and the camera follows his head movement he then goes close up to one of them waving a knife in their face) I’m a nice guy aren’t I ?
The prisoner ignores him we see the fear in his eyes
Cam: (shouts) AREN’T I
The prisoner nods quickly in tears

Cam: So my boys, You know why your here?

Both prisoners look at each other or the ground, just generally avoiding eye contact with cam
Cam chuckles and turns away, starts to walk off, He spins around and quickly kicks one on the ribs and he folds. He then swiftly draws his switchblade out and swipes at the other.
Cam: Liars! Spits


Cam: My boss wants you dead, but this is what I’m going to do. You see I’m a bit of a gamer myself. (Turns to the other prisoner) Do you like games? I like games, the risk the thrill, the anticipation, (in a sensual kind of way) it makes my blood rush. So I have with me ONE dice, each ONE of you will have ONE roll, One roll and whoever gets the highest number , gets taken out. GOT IT. (pause) So ONE roll, ONE final glimpse of life, ONE last thrill, ONE LAST CHANCE. (pause) So who wants to go first ?
