How the script enabled us to visualise our characters feelings and emotions

Our script is a voice over from the perspective of the son Dennis Callaghan on how his first experience in the mafia changed his life forever.

Voice over: I was 16 when it happened, bored, useless and craving excitement. Boy did i not know what i was getting myself into. My family are notorious for their name, always have been. The Callaghan family. The name alone could get you anything you wanted in this town. The boss Brandon Callaghan, the most respected man in South London, could get you anything you needed. Thats why when i was first introduced to the family business, [Start Conversation (Muted)] i was so proud to work with my dad for the first time. We were driving late at night, when we heard a bang, i thought it was nothing, but that bang changed my life for the worse believe you me.

The script gives an impression of his innocence something which is something certainly not associated with someone who kills in the mafia. The line 'Boy did I not know what I was getting myself into' shows that he was young and didn't understand the family business which is quite sad as now when he is older he has this horrible past from a young age which is something that will always effect him. As a young boy 'he didn't know any better' and just looked up to his family who were very powerful in his town and when you the power that they have you want that for yourself but unknowing what costs it comes with. All these feelings that have been suggested throughout the script are confirmed in the last line 'but that bang changed my life of the worst believe you me'. The script helps viewers to sympathises with the boy in the opening sequence as it gives the impression he didn't choose this life but it chose him and now there is no getting away from the negative way it has effected his life. The mafia are known for being cynical and not showing mercy for their victims nut this is a special case and in the sequence the boy is shaking with and extremely worried loom on his face almost proving that this life wasn't for him in contrast to his dad who had clearly been in the business for years and showed no sympathy towards his son and feels that it is his duty to bring his son into the business just like his dad did for him.
