Planning

Treatment 
1)      Robbers running to safety
This will be the opening scene where we will be able to see the three robbers running away with heavy bags. In this scene the robbers will get to a safe location (dark road or back road) where they will try to catch their breath. When the robbers get to safety they eventually start to panic because their getaway driver is late.

2)      Robbers get into the getaway vehicle
Eventually the getaway driver pulls up and they quickly get inside the car, the driver moves off very quickly and leaves the location. Now that the robbers have escaped and they are all safe they take off their masks and begin to celebrate. The robbers have managed to complete their mission and now that they are all happy they got money, the leader of the group suggest that they should all lay very low for a few months, The other robbers aren’t very interested as they are both focused on spending  their money.

3)      One of the robbers (snitch) gets arrested
In the next scene (New day) one of the robbers who will turn out to be a snitch begins to spend all of his money buying expensive clothing and jewellery, as he is walking out of a shop towards his car he looks to his left where he notices that the police are closing in on him, eventually they arrest him and put him in the back of the police car. Meanwhile, the other robbers are in a chicken shop not knowing what’s going on.

4)      The snitch is an informer
In this scene the informer will be getting interrogated by police and we will be able to see that he is looking scared. Straight after this there will be a shot where we will see an undercover cop slowly driving past the chicken shop (Where the robbers are) as he looks intensely in the shop whilst the other robber (informer) is sitting at the back. Then the police officer points at the robbers and the other robber (Informer) nods his head as he confirms their identity.

5)      *Rapping scene*
There will be 5/6 shots of the rappers

6)      The other two robbers get arrested and get interrogated
In the next scene the first robber will be coming out of the shop and gets arrested as soon as he comes outs and then gets put into the back of the police car, then there is another shot of the second robber getting arrested.   In the same scene the two robbers are getting interrogated by the police. However they are reluctant to speak.


7)      They come out of prison
In this scene the two robbers beat the chargers as they had good lawyers. Then they walk out of the police station in relief and as they are coming out of the one of the robbers get a text message with the snitches location. Then the two robbers are sitting at the back of a car in anger.


8)      *Rapping Scene*

9)      They confront the snitch.
Lastly, the car pulls up next to the snitches location where they wait outside for a while, they then go into the house and raid it and then one of the robbers kick the door open and the snitches face change in shock.

Mise-en-scene: casting details, location scouting with photographs, props, costume and make-up, lighting.

Casting details
Robber 1:Abdiasis
Robber 2;Mansour Mansour
Robber 3:Ahmed Ismail

Police officer 1; Jawad John Charles
Police Officer 2: Abdiashakur Hassan

Props and costumes:
Balaclava
black hoodies

Champagne class

 This is could be the place for the first scene where they just robbed the bank and they are waiting for the gateway car
 This location could be where the 2 other robbers chill and they order food and they are arrested by the police because the informant told them they were here.
This location is Westfield shopping centre and so this can be the scene the informant gets arrested after doing some shopping.
