My film Noir

Film title-crossed/reload

Synopsis
The film is about a young man that has just started up in the drugs industry selling cannabis. He is double crossed whilst going to ‘reload’ (buy more drugs). The story then develops with the protagonist trying to find out who double crossed him; including dirty cops, rival gangs, femme fetals and friends worse than enemy’s.

The story concludes with our protagonist finding out he was double crossed by his best friend.

First 3 minutes
In the first 3 minutes my protagonist is walking down a street at night (monologue). He reaches the meeting point and notices a police helicopter; but dismisses it. When his dealer shows he is acting shifty which raises his suspicions. Then 2 men show up and a scuffle breaks out; with our main character having his reload robbed and being K.O’d. He gets up in a daze and notices a wallet, it is one of the men that robbed him; the man is a police officer.

My film will have a gritty dark look; to in keep with the noir genre. It will include monologues, rain dark quiet settings but within an urbanised area. In my film I am aiming for a cross between the noir genre and a newer more youth focused film such as kidulthood.
