Intro Synopsis
Synopsis
During the middle of a cold winter night in a typical suburban house in south London a loud ‘crash’ disturbs the silence, waking up James (18). As there has been a loud crash resulting in waking up James, he then jumps out of his warm comfortable bed grabs a cricket bat and cautiously heads down stairs to find out what the noise was. He assumes that the house has been broken into as he has drug connections and owes a dealer some money So as he explores his house with a cricket bat in his hands, he finds that the noise was made by his cat knocking over a chair. Relieved at the fact that it was only the family pet that knocked over a chair that made the crash, James then heads back up stairs to his bed to get back to sleep. AS he gets back up the stairs into his room he then switches the light of and climbs back into his bed. As he starts to fall asleep again he is woken up once again by the cat as it jumps up onto the bed by his head.

Establishing Paragraph
The film I will be making a two minute intro to will be called ‘White lines’. I have chosen to call it this as it could mean many things and will make the audience wonder what the film is about.
The intro will be set in a house in the middle of the night and something falls over and makes a loud noise, this will wake up the character in this intro. He then makes his way down stairs with caution expecting to see that someone has broken into his home. This could also give out a clue to the audience that maybe he has been expecting something like this to happen, this could also link back to the title as it could relate to drug abuse which is an aspect of the social realism genre.
