Skewed, distorted and sometimes misty looking images flash on screen in black and white, the young man, still looking as if he is in a daze, picks up a gun and shoots at an older, smart looking man.
The scene flashes between the black and white sequence and a close up of the woman's lips, still whispering.
Then suddenly, the man wakes up - he was in a bad dream, he looks confused and shook up. With that, he gets up to get him self a glass of water, when he has finally come round from his deep sleep, there is a knock at the door. He is speechless to find the pretty blond from his dream standing, smiling at him from outside - she introduces herself and explains she lives in the flat next door and has lost her key - not knowing what to do she is welcoming into the young man's flat.

Who is this mysterious woman? Was his dream just a coincidence? Maybe he had seen her before? Or maybe his dreams are warning him...

Editing will be used to make the scene look convincingly noir, the flashes of him shooting in the dream will be in deep black and white, with long shadows and areas with no light. Low camera positioning will change the horizon line to make the viewer feel disorientated, as will skewed and distorted images. Other parts of the sequence, that are not flashes will be in colour, but with a low contrast in colour to create a 'cold' feel. Usual noir codes and conventions will be used, such as the characteristics of femme fatals and innocent 'hard boiled' men for her to seduce and manipulate and ultimately, change his life.
