Post-it Storyboarding - Scenes 5 and 6

Here we wanted to introduce some new characters and put faces to the names of the 'baddies'. These two scenes are almost one but we did want quite an obvious cut between them to really exaggerate him getting involved and setting himself up for a fall even though they are in the same setting. These are meant to make the audience aware that Scott has been set up and also introduce the action sequence.

Scene 5

Here Scott walks to the bar to find Jade waiting for him, she warns him not to get involved as she's seen people get caught up before and be hurt.

• An establishing shot of the bar showing Scott stood, waiting. Dim lighting and a cigarette in an ash tray (if possible).
• Close up profile shot of Scott smoking, introduces negative connotations showing him as morally questionable and not completely innocent.
• Jade enters and the camera follows their conversation with a selection of close ups and high angle shots. Might put in a close up of a Martini glass with lipstick on it adding in an element of sexual appeal.

Scene 6

Jade sends Scott over to the gang leader who is shown from a low angle sitting comfortably asserting dominance of the situation. Here Scott hands over the briefcase expecting it to go smoothly but the gang leader soon finds that there is no money and it becomes clear Scott has been 'stitched up'. The leader gives Scott 24 hours in which to have the money.

• Starts with a strong close up profile of both Scott and the gang leader with low lighting and tension building, non-diegetic music.
• We later decided that the tension might be better built up by complete silence, and having looked at the way the conversation would be best shown we decided a good source of inspiration could be the "Strudel Scene" from Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds (2.49 onward).
• We want to use high angle shots to show how vulnerable Scott is feeling but also some close ups to follow the dialogue and exaggerate the point where the gang leader gives Scott another 24 hours.
