Non-dialogue script

EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT

Scene starts very eerily with a point of view shot of someone walking down a road turning down into an alleyway. The area looks deserted and you can hear the sound of tumbleweed.

The road is covered in litter and there are car alarms going off, you get the idea that it is run down and people don't like to go there. The moon is glowing very strong.

There is another shot coming from the sky moving down focusing on a flickering lampshade on the right side of the screen. A dark figure is shown through an over the shoulder shot. Focusing on the background in the alleyway.

                                                  CUT TO:

Luke and Michael are in an alleyway. They are both young and are very smart dressed. They speak in a cockney accent, their tone of voice implies that they are scared.

They discuss how they would go on a runner and leave town, throwing away their old life. They start singing frantically.

A shadowy figure called Albert Brookstein is shown in the foreground. He is then put into focus and he startles them. They then scream and start running firing shots.

Albert is very calm and does not seen threatening however his persona and the size which the shot portrays makes him seem like he is in charge of the scenario and he has control.

Luke and Michael are young and dress like they mean business however deep down they are frantic and scared of this man.

                                                  CUT TO:

A tilted tracking shot of Luke and Michael from the alleyway running down a hill. There are various shots of them running/cutting corners. They stop and try and catch their breath. They are now in the foreground on the right with the shadowed figure entering the background from the left.

                                                 CUT TO:

There is now a shot looking at the shadowed figure on the left and the other characters on the right facing each other. There are various shot reverse shots. Both sing to each other. They beg to be let free. Albert asks in a concerned voice if he can trust them

INT. UndERGROUND GAMBLING CLUB - DAY

There is a flashback of the back story of why James and Michael are frightened of their life. They are shown engaging in a poker game in a dirty disused basement. There is a quick external shot of people going through the door from outside.

Multiple shots of the gambling game.
