Treatment Rewrite

Title:Rags to riches
An original screenplay by:Dean Landers,Damian Mathers and Josh May
Production Company Name:Damian Media co.

We are presenting a gangster film about  typical London man who starts off poor and ends up very well off because he teams up with the insiders of a well known London Gang; WestfieldGang.In doing so he eventually becomes the most feared man in the whole of the capital.

As the story unfolds we see how the main character betrays each of the supporting characters to gain respect and further power.We see this through the killings/Imprisonment and kidnaps of the supporting characters.

We have changed it from him gaining respect hourly and going up in the hierarchy to just betraying them all in one go as gaining respect hourly is pretty unrealistic.

We are trying to make it as batman meets the Godfather because we like the idea of when the Joker betrays his associates to gain all the money for himself.

Our production company plans to use the theme of trust,betrayal and money in order to achieve the desired effect of surprise targeted towards a demographic composed primarily of the male gender.

Audience Research:Interviews with members of staff

We took the time out to conduct extra research in the way of an interview. we managed to interview 5 different members of staff and they came back with a very varied opinions upon each of the questions asked. One of the main questions raised within the interview is maybe the possibility of introducing a strong female character to go against the typical conventions of male dominance in the gangster genre.
