Brief Outline

Scene One
The scene begins with the set of a living room, the main focus of the shot being a sofa. The black woman walks across in front of the scene, sits down on the sofa; she picks up the rolled joint which is sitting on the coffee table and lights the joint. She inhales, twists around on the sofa, stretches out her legs and crosses them at the ankles. The song, Jeepster, Trex is playing in the background of the radio.
As she inhales, she stretches her legs. She exhales, tilting her head and blowing the smoke upward. 


Scene Two: Diner
Black woman and man sitting in a booth in a diner. The Black woman again, is the main focus of the shot. Although she is not centred, we see by her body language that she is dominating the man. Throughout the scene however, blocking is used (although the characters do not move, the camera does.) The man is sitting further back in the corner of the diner sofa, almost slumped.
Their conversation is irrelevant, however she is in control of it.
The camera will then pan to underneath the table, where she is holding a gun to his crotch. The irrelevant conversation continues
Gun is shot.

Scene Three: Bathroom
Rumble, Link Wray is playing in the background in the diner.
Black woman walks off, leaving the man dead.
Black woman walks into the bathroom, walks up to the front of the mirror, pushing her way through other women. She looks in her bag and takes out red lipstick and reapplies it. She is the centre of the shot, which is a shallow shot. The women in the background are slightly blurred. This portrays their insignificance in relation to Black woman. She pulls her head back slowly to look at her reflection better. Extreme close up of her eyes.

Scene Four : A memory
Extreme close up of Black woman's young self's eyes, zooms out. She squeezes her eyes shut, which in turn creates a blackout.
The shot reopens blurred, portraying in a point of view shot, her parents being murdered. She is hiding. Close up : Black woman's young self looks down then strongly into the camera.

Scene Five : Bathroom x2
Rumble, Link Wray continues from the previous bathroom scene, fading in.
Fades into Black woman looking strongly into the camera/mirror. The women still in the background blurred, like how her parents were in the previous scene. She takes out a joint that she keeps in a gold metal tin. She lights it.
She inhales, smiles slyly and blows smoke into the screen.
