Initial Film Idea Start to End

Genre: Crime

Beginning
The scene would open in a corner shop/ post office, something like that in which the shop assistant is just chewing gum in an otherwise empty shop, something to signify that she [the shopkeeper] is cocky.
As the shop is quiet and boring, a robber, dressed as expected, balaclava, black clothing etc. bursts in with a knife and screams various profanities to the shopkeeper in order to intimidate- holding the weapon towards him/her whilst she loads money into a carrier bag provided. As soon as the money is placed in the bag and given back to the robber, he scurries out of the shop and runs into a dark area/ getaway car in which two other people are already located. The robber removes his mask and asks “did I do alright?” or something along those lines, a cut is made to the disappointed faces of his two accomplices which is then followed by a camera cut to the outside of the car/ dark area showing a trail of money as to where the bag has split, probably follow this up with “fuck” or “shit”.
Then cut to the title of the film.

Middle
The three criminals discussing what went wrong and how this needs to be avoided in the future. The 2 ‘senior’ robbers are basically lambasting this other bloke for being an amateur and a failure, all that sort of stuff.
Basically, as of then the story is that these two criminals are going to teach this new kid how to rob places, he’s given “trial runs” at other shops, pick-pocketing, shoplifting, that sort of thing. They’re masters of all criminal activity and he’s showing promise, getting better, maybe show montages of him pickpocketing or stealing food from shops or committing armed robberies or muggings.

Ending
All 3 of the criminals decide they want to do a big heist, a bank most likely. They decide they’re all ready for it and get blueprints of the bank draw up plans on notice boards, they meet up with blokes who get them guns, explosives, all the necessary things for a bank heist until they eventually go into the bank, start demanding money when police sirens are heard not long after entering the bank. The camera would cut the outside of the bank and “fuck” or “shit” would be said alluding to a previous point in the film, signalling the end.
