Directions and Shot List

(Wide panning shot, from almost behind the hedge to )

Man comes out of a house holding what looks like a folded up rug. He puts the rug down in order to close the front door. As he does this we can see it takes considerable effort to get the rug off his shoulder, giving the viewer a clue that there may be something or someone hidden in it. The panning shot begins, following the man slowly as he walks across to a car parked on the far side of the drive.

(Medium/close-up)

When he reaches the car and opens the boot, the wide pan cuts to a medium close up from the inside of the boot of the car, looking up at the suspicious man. He pauses and looks down at what we can now assume is a body because of the bloodstains on his face.

(Panning shot)

This shot follows the man as he closes the boot till when he gets in the car.

(Close up from outside the windscreen of the car and from the passenger seat) These next two shots will run in conjunction as the man sits in the drivers seat. One camera will film from the outside of the car looking in on the man, and the other will film close-up from inside the car perhaps from the passenger seat. The man looks contemplative and almost regretful, he then receives a phone call from which we can assume to be his boss. He chats casually to this man conveying that whatever has been asked of him has been done.

(Medium Shot)

The last shot of the scene is of the car as it pulls away.

Target Audience

For films such as Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas and Harry Brown, curiosity and intrigue around the content of the films, stems from the modern audiences need for insight into the macabre and dangerous world of the proffesional criminal.This escapism is matched by the similarities shown for example in Pulp Fiction with normal everyday people, this countertypical representation of organised criminality is refreshing and attractive for the audience, and made this particular film a resounding success. Goodfellas displays another equally attractive presentation of the gangster lifestyle, by documenting the life of an authentic crook called Henry Hill. This adds reality to the peice, and instantly shocks the audience, as all content in this film in believed to be historically accurate. This is also the case to an extent with Harry Brown, that portrays a real London council estate and the dangerous inhabitants. The harsh reality of the gang-run estate is horrifying to the viewers but at the same evokes a morbid curiosity. The target audience for films such as these is very wide, and can be relevant and entertaining for absolutely all ages. This is because despite developments in society, crime and particularly organised crime, is viewed with the same mystique  and awe as it was during its peak. Therefore the target audience has relatively no boundaries apart from the minimum age should be 15-18. And although many will take an interest in these films, the audience will naturally be more male, as the type of action, majority of the characters and narrative are all designed for a more masculine audience, and women will find it hard to relate to.
