Short Project
We were given a task to create a short story, using a random location and two random characters, we had been given the location of a garage and the characters of a gangster and an unemployed teenager.
Below I have added a mind map of the two characters development.
Gangster
Unemplyed TeenagerThe location that we have been given is mostly set in a car garage that we have chosen to be owned by Terry Johnson, within the garage is Terry's office.
The story
The story starts with Mark's parents arguing and his father walks out. With no financial support, mark has to find a job so that he can support his mother, however with no qualifications he is told by a friend to go and talk to the local gangster Terry Johnson.
The Plot
A short film that is set in East End showing the struggle of an unemployed teenager who turns to a notorious gangster for quick cash. The story starts with Mark's farther leaving the house for good, which leaves Mark and his disabled mother financially unsupported. From this moment onwards Mark feels that he needs to step up and become the man of a house, to do this he must find a job. However, he has no qualifications because he had got expelled from school.
In conversation with his friend, he is told that Terry, the local and well known gangster in town, is always in need of people who can do the 'job' right. Mark visits Terry's car garage and finds Terry who is drinking whiskey in his office. After being laughed at by Terry, Mark is given a chance to prove that he can do the job of selling drugs.
A few months down the line Mark is no longer unemployed and is a successful shadowing Terry in the buisness of drug dealing. He is no longer wearing a tracksuit but now a suit and is now able to support and care for his mother.
One night as mark is sleeping the police raids his house and arrests mark, leaving his mother to go into care.
