Treatment Plan

'This Life Ain't Fair' is a non-linear action drama film that follows a music groups rise to success as they try to leave their violent and gang-related past behind an try to pursue a career in music. the opening sequence starts off with the group recording in the studio and they are interrupted by a group of people in balaclavas who knock at the door. A gunshot is heard and then cuts to a scene of the group a year earlier. Through psychographic profiling we have come to the conclusion that our film will be mostly for ''the succeeders'' ''the  aspirers'' and ''the strugglers''. This film is mostly aimed for males aged between 15-22 as the context and language may not be understood by older or younger people.

Overview
The opening sequence will start with a title shot and then fade into a shot of the studio, showing a person rapping, a producer and some people chilling on the sofa. The rapper finishes the song and for a moment all is calm with shpts of the friends laughing and exchanging dialogue until they hear a motorbike coming down the road. This is followed by a tracking shot of the motorbike as it comes down the road, approaching the music studio. A long shot then shows a group of people in balaclavas jump off their vehicles and run up to the studio door and start banging on it. The first person to get off the sofa and run to the door gets hit with a gun as he opens it, to which one person says "this ain't fair, what did we do?". One of the masked men replies "This life ain't fair", this is when a gunshot is heard and the scene changes to the group one year earlier after the screen goes black. The group then plan and carry out a robbery while a narrator explains what is happening and why etc.

Synopsis
After the opening sequence we will see that another of their friends gets killed in an attempted robbery. This inspires the group to change their ways and start making music as a sort of release from their violent past. After a lot of hardwork and dedication they exceed in the music industry and manage to leave their past behind, or that's what they think... They find out that one of the masked men is actually one of their 'friends' but before he has a chance to shoot at the group, one of the artists kills him and saves them.

Themes, Mise en Scene and other details
The binary oppositions that we will include are: Past vs future, good vs evil and gang vs gang.
some of the props that we will use are fake guns, baseball bats and other weapons such as hammers.
We will set most of the opening sequence in Oscar's recording studio in Morden, and the road just outside. To accomplish this we will need at least one camera and tripod, and at least two lights.
We hope show the darker side of life in south London while presenting themes of music, crime and gang related violence,
