-         Write 200 words minimum-  

End scene of the film out of the blue. How does it fit into the film.  

-         Rewrite the scene aiming for a different audience. The new audience is in their twenties not afflent and city dwellers. Reshape the film. {scene}

-         The scene where David Gray is killed by the armed terroist squad fits into the film as his death had to be inevitable to correspond with actual real life events when he was killed. It also fits into the film to show the audience the message of mental health of society and the consequences for society being ignorant of people’s mental disabilities and issues. It also is appropriate as David Gray takes off his disguise before he meets his gruesome fate and looks into the mirror without  his hoody and black paint. It is this scene as he realises the inevitably of his actions as the sound of water running down the drain is an analogy of how he is running down the drain to the sewer line to the place of no return.

If I were to rewrite this scene to appeal to a young audience in their 20’s living in the city  I would use different methods of representation to appeal to them. One of these would be to add the sound of a rat writhing in pain when David Gray is shot down and struggling when he meets his final fate. I would do this to appeal to these city dwellers as they would be familiar to the multiple rats in a city and the analogy would be that David Gray is the lowest of the low as rats are small and are thought to have diseases much like David Gray at the end is struggling on the ground like a rat and has a mental disease {schizophrenia}.
