                                                TITLE SCREEN: THE EXCHANGE 

                    Black screen as the title of the film appears suddenly in bold, jumping 
                                                out towards the camera. (5 seconds) 
       
                                                                                       Dramatic music fades in:
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                      Dissolve to:

                on the side of the screen over time, gradually introducing everyone 
                involved in the film.

                Camera cuts to establishing shot of the car park with two cars facing 
                each other ready to do the exchange. The camera then zooms in onto
                the cars gradually.

                Camera cuts to a shot of the subject in a low angled shot, showing their

                feet as the step out of the car. The music begins to increase in tension
                as the audience see the briefcase for the first time. Tracking shot of the
                subjects feet as he begins to walk towards the deal.

                 As the receiver of the briefcase and the giver meet there is a over the

                 shoulder shot as the character passes the briefcase over, the camera
                 doesn't show who receives the briefcase during the exchange.
                                             
                                                EXT. STREET - DAY (6)

               music still continuing, camera slowly zooms into the subject and begins
               to track him, as if someone is stalking him.

               Cut to mid shot of the subject walking away with the briefcase. The

               subject walks past the camera and then the camera focuses on a person
               following him in a suspicious way, the subject is unaware of this.

               Cut to side shot of the characters as the subject becomes aware of the

               follower and he begins to up the pace to try and get away from him.
               Camera doesn't move, the characters pass by it.
