Film Noir Treatment

The film opens with a CU of a hand wrapping a package of a box wrapped in brown paper tied with frayed string.

Cut to the outside of ST PANCRAS STATION of a YOUNG WOMAN.  She wears an iridescent tan trench coat tied at the wait with her hair tightly crimpled into a bun.  Cut to the inside of the station.  A train departs from the station signalling this by the WHISTLE and HORN of the train.  There after the young woman walks along the platform of the station with a small tan leather handbag hanging from her right hand, carrying a package covered in brown paper with white string tied around in her other hand.  The CLIP-CLOP of the young woman's HEELS is heard.  News of a murder is depicted.

A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING YOUNG MAN  walks behind the young woman.  He wears a light tan trench coat with a dark coloured fedora on his head.  The young woman drops the parcel from her left hand and falls on the ground.  THE young man picks up the parcel off the ground of the station.

Cut away shot to THREE MIDDLE AGED MEN wearing dark trench coats and fawn coloured fedoras acting furtiverly.  One of the men throws a cigarette butt onto the ground and stamps his foot on it to put it out.

THE young woman walks out of the stations with the man following behind her.  She approaches a vintage car parked outside the stations;she gets into the car with help of the DRIVER who opens the door for her.  The woman notices that the driver isn't her normal driver and asks where her usual driver is, followed by the CAR DOORS LOCKING.

Next, the THREE MIDDLE AGED MEN are seen discussing a newsworthy, debatable topic.  While discussing, the three men are pushing around a picture of the young woman seen earlier in the opening and portray a reflection of mysteriousness amongst them.  It then pans back to the young woman in the back seat of the car.  Followed by the loud sound of a GUN SHOT.
