Opening sequence treatment- Detail of characterisation, story and setting and how this will be constructed


Characterisation 
Protagonist:
18 year old male; average middle class white boy
Comes across as your average guy mixed up in a crime; appears guilty and concerned about what he has done
Runs away from crime; shows lack of responsibility which is typical of teenagers
Matt
Actor- Matt

Similar characterisation to Freddie from Skins in that he is an average teenage boy who shows emotion towards situation for example his girlfriend, however he often ends up in troublesome situations.  


Protagonist's Girlfriend:
18 year old female; average middle class white girl
Inquisition about boy's whereabouts shows she cares and worries about boyfriend
Actress- Georgie

Anger shows her strength and power, like the character Mini in Skins
