Short brief;
Jay Wilson is probably a parent’s worst nightmare, with no respect, manors or emotion towards anyone except himself, he is a reckless mess. Jay often flips when people try and confront him for doing things they don’t see as acceptable; that’s why he got kicked out of school.
Jay is the type of person if you saw walking towards you after dark, you would turn around and walk away. He’s frowned upon in his town for the things he does such as mugging anyone, from a child to an old age person. He has no remorse which makes him one of the hardest characters to like. In fact, a huge dislike generates in in other people’s eyes, despising him for what and who he is.

| Here is My Film logo which I created using Microsoft word, along with images I got off Google Images; it took a long process of changing the saturation, brightness and contrast in order to gain the full authenticity. The reason I have chosen this to be my logo is because it represents the gangs, with the gun, and the first two letters ‘R’ and ‘E’ is a way to emphasis the gangster side of the situation, where I have standard ‘copperplate’ writing, shows that within all the mess and evil, there will prevail a brighter, better side of things. The reason I chose the black and white is to show the good and bad, the black is the main colour because it is showing that anywhere, and everywhere there is evil lurking, but the white comes through as good, a light and hope for anyone. This can be linked to the story line of my film. Story map; Characters- Jay Wilson, His gang, Mother, Other Gangs, Girl he meets. Setting- London, Suburbs, Council Housing block apartments.
