Vague reality of 'Straight Up'...
frame 1: Various scenes shown in a fast motion
frame 2: Violent start which gradually calms down - Gang Intro: Include savanna's idea (all boys glaring at girls pass by, except Troy - he then gets slack)
frame 3: A form or multiple forms of drug abuse (smoking weed, preparation to sniff cocaine, alcohol...)
frame 4: A scene showing the gay guy's (Troy) broken foundation/ home life
frame 5: Troy and Mitch's friendship relationship (at the beginning - before revelation)
frame 6: A scene with the entire gang including the female company - show what they do for fun
frame 7: The younger generations idea of 'fun' - playing knock down ginger, imitating the older generation (respect/ territorial)...sniffing glue (drug aspect - humour)
Transition: Voices overlapping ( Mention of general morals - right from wrong mainly his mothers voice and younger siblings questions)
Deeper Rotted Issues come to life...
frame 8: Troy visiting his father in jail (confronts who he blames for his sexuality), first questions why he walked out on him, then discusses his sexuality (rejection cycle) - he set his dad up for leaving him
frame 9:Troy kips at Mitches house (comfort) - makes a move after feeling wanted ( substitution of a male figure he never had growing up) later on and then panics after being rejected (rejection cycle)
frame10: Hospitalises Mitch and hides the evidence (almost but doesn't kill him)
frame 11: Mum doesn't notice he didn't come home the previous night, and shares the news "did you hear about Mitch"
frame 12: Gang meeting (Troy is highly paranoid and the guilt weighs on him heavily) - suspicion is in the air and is more visible to one particular member, Jamie.
frame 13: Troy disposes of the attack weapon- A knife or a Baseball bat (over the shoulder shot) - someone see's this (The most vigilant member within the group of boys)
frame 14: He retraces the weapon
frame 15: Vigilant member puts two and two together and thinks of how to teach Troy a lesson without asking questions
Transition: Gunshot

frame 16: Troy's mum seats him to talk about his father's progress in jail (suicide attempt?)
frame 17: Troy chills with Jacqueline, similarly after hearing of his dad make an awkward move (rejection cycle)
Confronting his demons...
frame 18: self-harm fazes and close up shots to show how he views himself - looking himself in a mirror, disgusted by his sexuality, in denial and extremely angry (silent tears)
frame 19: Focuses on Mitch's visitors
The fallout (Keep your friends close and your enemies closer)...
frame 20: The boys are brought into Jamie and Owen's revenge scheme
