Scene 2 Two characters are sitting around a small brown table in a pub, with money notes in the middle with a large bottle of brandy/whiskey by the side of the money. The two players are sitting next to each other, with glasses to the left hand side of each player, containing small amounts of liquid. On the left hand side of C3, there is a jet black pistol, for protection. Whilst slightly to the right of they are their cards for the game of poker that they are playing. Whilst having an ashtray of cigars through the middle of both players. C2 MEDIUM CLOSE UP of positive emotion emitting from C2 as he normally pulls up a drink and sips it quietly and slowly, thus showing an enjoyment of the taste. Long medium shot of both characters around the table (showing top part of the table legs) and showing their game of cards. C3 throws 2 cards onto the table Camera cuts directly to an EXTREME CLOSE UP of the table with cards already on it, but with more cards being thrown onto the pile from C3. C2 Jokingly mocks C3 (in an Essex accent) because of his bad hand/cards.
C3 Then laughs a long with C2s mocking and it can be seen that C3 is thoroughly enjoying themselves. So how much did you take him for then?
C2
Pauses and smiles directly at C3 before saying; Only ten grand C3 Looks worried at C2. Isnt he going to be pissed?

Scene 3 Scene is set in dim light, given a tense atmosphere in an office in a building. The room has a large brown desk (this cannot be noticed as the scene is in film noir), with papers scattered all over the desk, whilst having a black briefcase next to the desk on the murderers left hand side. C2 Knocks on the door, from the outside of the office. The knock is loud and quite deafening THE BODYGUARD The bodyguard then stations himself directly parallel to the door and slowly opens the door, to allow C2 to walk in. C2 Slowly walks in being mindful of The Bodyguard, C2 then walks up to the large brown desk, and places a black suitcase upon the top of the desk. THE BOSS Turns around in swivel chair, and reaches out for the briefcase. As soon as the Boss has the case in his possession he slowly opens it up, to reveal that there is no money. And shouts... Who the hell do you think I am? You realise this is empty? C2 Shows a lack of respect at the Boss, and smirks at him. C2 then turns around, in order to leave. THE BODYGUARD The bodyguard then cracks his knuckles. Various jump cuts used to show the intensity of the violence that is happening, as the bodyguard throws him around, and starts to assault him, eventually beating him to his death (possibly shot) (Whoever shoots C2 then aims the gun at the camera and shoots it)

Scene 4 The scene takes place, in the house of C3. The living room features two sofas and a large television screen with a DVD player. Scene starts off with post-box banging with the arrival of a brown envelope. C3 C3 slowly picks up the envelope from the floor, and opens it up rather quickly, to reveal that it is a DVD disk within its casing. C3 then walks back into the living room and places the DVD into the disk tray of the DVD player. C3 then goes back to the sofa that is directly opposite of the TV screen, and sits down in order to watch the TV. The footage of the DVD then starts and we quickly show a quick cut of the television and the footage, as the violence starts to begin the camera then focuses back onto C3s face, most notably his facial expression. This occurs throughout the scene, showing quick jump cuts between the two to build up the intensity. After a while, the camera then goes to focus on C3s knuckles, as he is clenching them hard, in order to show his anger through body language.
