The idea of Betrayal and double crossings can be found in films such as Training Day and Lock, Stock and Two Smocking Barrels.The reason for the double cross is usually as it builds the tension built between the characters , which can be caused by two things :
1: A difference in character between the protagonists causing them to turn on the other in order to resolve that tension
2: One of the characters has a similar objective to the other character but this objective is changed by an outside force eg money , or inside force e.g actions of the other.
My influences were Training day as it gave the most ideas in handling the idea of betrayal and double crossing in this cased the topic was handled by separation in between the characters caused by behaviors an difference in moral standing , which i think influenced the way i handled the idea of a love triangle with in the story while this was not touched on in training day . Also the idea of the poker game came from Ocean thirteen which involved a casino heist. As the image of the gangsters , i was highly influenced by films like Snatch and Hooligan Street and Green Street. This allowed to create a more unrefined gangsters closer to the hooligan than the refined gangster.

I like this from a artistic point of view . The script it's moves very fluidly and creates a very suspenseful environment , giving my a idea about what good action means in a crime drama , in terms of pacing . The short begins with relaxed pace which is used to build suspense which reinforced by the fast paced middle act of the sequence.And it it helps intensify the ending
This shot gave me good of how a good chase created by always making sure that actions of the actions of the chase create a good idea of fear. This makes the pace of the sequence seems faster which is what is needed for a chase scene to succeed.
Context is used to show the setting of the series.this also use context in order to juxtapose the normality of submake with the out look of the shoper,which is given by use outer presence in order to show what kind a look the character has , also in this text this is used as context in order to show what world she live in and create tension. Further this also gives out a sense of slight abnormality in
the world of the character
Dialog is used order to strengthen a characters personality at the same time , establish somenes re relationship another character without giving away to much . Saying this dialog is abou what is being said
when asked about the topic of my film which a double cross more than half of the respondents agrred that it makes for plot good development.Further more they agree that money or a love relationship makes for reason for the double cross. Proving that the basis of my idea is viable
