Noirvember - Power Dynamics

1 - Establishing shot of a downtownish street. It's winter time, so while it might not be late, it's definitely dark. It's also snowing. There are some storefronts of various restaurants, shops, etc. There's also a lonely looking alley.

ORSON (from the alley): Are you serious?

2 - Into the alley. We look at the boots of Orson and Scott standing amidst the freshly falling snow. Orson's boots look worn and ratty - maybe a hole or something close to it; whereas Scott's boots look new and warm. There's some garbage cans in the background, maybe one is spilled over, etc.

SCOTT (off-panel): Sorry, man, I forgot it at home.

3 - Focus on Scott's torso, revealing him to have a really nice jacket on. It looks warm and comfortable, particularly in the winter setting.

ORSON (off-panel): Will gimme your jacket then.

4 - Focus on Orson's face, he looks desperate and scraggily - not enough sleep, unshaved beard, scars, etc. The type of person who is not joking around.

SCOTT (off-panel): Are you serious?

5 - Reveal Scott and Orson in their entirety. Orson, looking as down on his luck as the previous panels have implied, is in the process of mugging Scott. He waves the knife menacingly to remind Scott of the situation he's in. Eyes wide with fear and worry, he starts taking off his jacket.

SCOTT (1): Right.

SCOTT (2): Okay.
