Pitch : Imagine living a life of wealth and respect, having your food and clothes tailored to your needs. Thinking an idea of what you wanted and receiving it. Money being the one thing you control and spending it. This is the life Drake Delotorie lives, but imagine if that lifestyle that you were so accustomed to was ripped and taken from your hands how would you react. The 2hr film goes through his journey as a well established human being and how being so rich and extravagant can suddenly just change.
Description: His parents had to flee from their wealthy background, having gone bank robbed in the recent recession. Living in a rich mansion in the country side, the family had to sell there belongings and move to lower less wealthy area in west London .
Drake reacting like any teenager he went against the idea but he obviously could not live in his house so therefore he agreed. At this point Drake is living in a different area with people that he hasn't seen ever in his life. He struggles to get to know the neighborhood and the people living in it, he's also struggling with the people he has to go collage with. At this point Drake's life is becoming rather difficult and it's when he first starts to act unusual and realises that people around the world don't live like him. It is as if he lived in a bubble all his life and the bubble finally POPS when he sees his surroundings and what he has to adapt to however not every animal in the animal kingdom adapts to where they live and so the ones that do not adapt are extinct this indicated how Drake's mind is working and he feels threatened by all these different people and cultures. That is when the obsession of being the better person starts.
Drake at this point lost in his own mind, goes to school only to find himself in a argument. Having a altercation with 2 students he waits for them outside school and does the unthinkable. He commits his first murder, he remembers striking one with the knife and feeling the edge and thrill from it and he than remembers smiling and feeling no anxiousness, the feeling of ease and calmness like it came naturally to him. He realises this is the only way to make him self relax and get away from the stressful life of being a Londoner now.
How far will Drake go to feel that adrenalin and ease, will he kill everyone that has an argument with him, how far will his obsession take him ?
First 2 mins : We first hear a clicking sound of a light switch being turned on and off and then from a distance we see a light being switched on and off. As we gradually get closer to the light we see that it is a lamp and we notice a figure sitting underneath the lamp. The camera moves closer towards the figure still not seeing his face but as we are going closer we see that their hand is twitching and the camera reacts to this and moves towards the hand, still hearing the clicking sound of the light switch. The camera turns towards the side of the hand to see a kitchen knife (this being a close up shot) the camera continues to stare down the knife. The clicking of the light stops and the light is left turned on by the figure in the dark. All that we can see of him/her is a the figure of their body shape and both hands, we can not see there face this part is hidden by the shadow of the room. We see the figure picks up the knife and is hesitating trying to cut themselves. A medium shot of the figure with the knife on one hand and trying to cut the other hand. The figure with the knife stops what they are doing and throws the knife away. We see a long angle shot of the knife being thrown away and a medium close up of the figure sitting there no movements and then the scene blacks out.
