McKee's 'classic Narrative Structure'

Exposition- Protagonist

The protagonist in my story-line is Kaden. He is a young thirteen year old boy who is guardian less living with just his brother in a run down estate in Barking. He is a student at school but unlike the typical type of boy who lives on the estate he is very smart in school but he seem to hang around with the wrong type of people in his area. When you first see him he is represented as a young boy who is bad person from the area that he lives in. He costume he wears is jogging bottoms or baggy jeans and hoodies with trainers with a hat on his head giving the audience the impression that he is part of a gang or that he is an criminal. He is not interested in drinking alcohol like a lot of people his age as he is smarter then them and know the effects of drinking. He is also represented by the way the places that he goes to like chicken shops as the is cheap to go to and they have no one to cook for them.

Agents of Change- Antagonist

The antagonist in the story-line is a police man named PC Richard and PC Dave. PC Richard is racist toward black people and does not respect them or treat them fairly. PC Dave does not treat anyone of a lower status or class fairly weather they are black or white. If you are on his class or above he would treat you with respect. This is because the people black mail the young boy, Kaden not treating him right and putting him a difficult situation. This show the view of how police treat lower class people and showing the trouble that the young boy is going to have with the police. The police are trying to find out information about Kaden's brother and the gang that he is in and trying to see there acts of crime but if he does not give the information then the police will arrest his brother.

Conflict Complication

Even though Kaden is at school as he has no parents around as his dad recently died and his mum left him he has been getting caught up with stealing items. The young boy have done petty crimes like stealing trainers from stores and taking people phones. This is as he has nothing much himself he does these little crimes showing that he does not have much money as he takes people items.

Elaboration

The themes that will occur in the film are corruption of youth as he grows up living a hard life, racism from the police, poverty as he does not have much money and lives on a estate. Also there would be themes of aspiration and escape, violence and loyalty. The story-line is about a young boy who is running away from a gang trying to escape is how it would start making it a smash mouth opening as it would me shocking to see what is happening. He then escapes and see the police that tried to talk to him before about the police having a plot on how to set up Kaden's brothers gang with the crimes they do but if he deiced not to then they would put his brother away. This then put Kaden in a difficult situation. He then walks into his brothers room and find him wiping a guy staring at it. Kaden then remember what the police said and tears begin to roll down his face. He then goes in his room laying there thinking of what he is going to do. He then looks at a picture of him and his dad before his dad passed away  The character in school is a smart boy and a teacher that he is close with want him to stay out of trouble. He then starts to steal for way to earn money and his brother is up to no good with the gang doing crimes. 

Climax & Resolution

After the hard decision that he had to make the police made him feel like he had to help so he helped the police set up the gang with a plot. The police end up with what they was trying to achieve in the first place.

Coda

A couple of month later there could be that the Kaden brother was caught doing the main crime with the gang by killing some one so as the boy told the police about the gang and set a plot it also set up his brother. The boy the ends up having to get taken in care as he has no one else. We decided to do this as it so the realism that happens in real life as there is not always happy ending for everyone.
