The film will start with a moving camera of continual flashback of them when they were police
officers. The camera will originally be on the main characters, Dan and Jake, the first shot will be
filmed from the back of a moped. The camera will be in front of the two of them on their
motorbikes, after a few seconds of filming them from in front the two of them will over take the
moped camera. The next shot will be character Dan running after a criminal and then tackling the
man to the floor. We’ll then see both characters in combat with two other men (criminal), they then
shortly have both men on the floor and Dan and Jake then high five over the two bodies.
Each small scene will be one shot as the camera is always moving to the right, on the last shot of the
opening scene we see them now, sat on a sofa, smoking and watching tv. This last shot will be a long
shot with the two of them in the center and this will show their surrounds.
