1. Narrative:
The Narrative of my opening sequence is about a Hitman who is shot and has
to be loaded onto the vehicle, which happens to be the most inappropriate
vehicle for the job, a moped.
The scene starts out with a person, Stevie, pulling up outside a house on a
moped. This is quite subtle and nothing out of the ordinary. Stevie then
reaches into his moped boot and pulls out an envelope, this envelope contains
money and a picture which the viewer finds out at the end of the opening
sequence.
After retrieving the Package from the boot of his moped he heads over to the
door of the house. He then goes to tuck the package under the doormat but in
the act of doing so hits the doorbell. This alerts Jimmy who is inside the house
and he moves towards the door. Stevie therefore makes a break for it behind
the moped he has arrived on. He then falls flat on his stomach to conceal
himself from sight.
Jimmy then walks out the door onto the front step of the house and picks up
the package. He looks inside and then begins to say that he will no longer be
able to protect whoever delivered the package.
Stevie then stands with gun in hand and walks over to Jimmy and shoots him.
This alerts Julia from upstairs who comes down angry about the mess on her
carpet and not in the slightest worried that her husband is lying dead on the
carpet.
She requests that Stevie gets the body off the carpet. Stevie obeys adn goes to
drag the body out of the door, Julia stops him doing so and tells him that he is
a idiot for trying to do so as he will justy spread more blood and he should lift
the body.
Julia and Stevie then go and lift the body and go to put him on the moped.
Stevie tells Julia that his plan is to take him on the moped and that she needs
to get the helmet from inside the door. She does so and then tries to put it on
Jimmy. She can’t seem to get it on jimmyhead so Stevie tell her to pass it to
2. him. He decides to take a run up to get it on his head and knocks the body on
the floor in the process.
Julia worries that Stevie may have hurt the Jimmy whom can’t contain his
surprise at Julia’s stupidity. They then hoist the body up onto the moped tying
it down with a strap and then pulling away. This is when the title of the movie
appears.
Stevie throughout this entire sequence appears fairly scruffy but is shown in
bike gear such as a jacket and trousers. And Julia is in jeans and a t-shirt (casual
clothes)
