Friends enter party, they’re all having a good time, all drunk and smoking franks
drugs, and then the local gang Derek met earlier arrives. Derek leaves his friends and
begins to get drawn in with the gang crowd. The gang leader notices a rival gang have
turned up to the party, they all acknowledge what’s going on and move towards the
other gang, Derek sticks with the gang, his friends try to stop him but he doesn’t
listen. A massive fight breaks out between the two gangs, the gang leader hands
Derek a knife, Derek nods at him showing he knows what he wants him to do, as
Derek moves off he is followed by a rival gang member also with a knife. People are
running screaming in all different directions, finally an ear piercing cry is heard and
the party clears and we see Derek lying on the floor holding his stomach, knife lying
beside him, the gang he thought he trusted, the gang he begged acceptance from had
left him. His friends turn up all tearful. Grant and Phil are either side of Derek trying
to stop the bleeding, Pam and Lauren are crying, Pam calls the police

5. Scene 5:
We hear knocks on the door, the rival gang member who stabbed Derek is who the
police is after, he looks around too see if there is a window or any way he can escape
but there is no option he is two floors up he will break his leg if he tries to jump out
the window.
We open to a shot of a door, point of view shot.
We hear the police knocking on the door but we don’t see them, the camera pans and
tilts around the room, moving around the room, still acting as a point of view shot, the
aim of the shot is to act as the persons eyes looking for an escape route out of the
room. There is none.
Police: “don’t try to run sir we have the building surrounded!”
Rival gang member: “fuck this is it”
