Hey harriet, yeh i think were meeting at 9:30 at stores tomorow to try and film. i've put up a basic script with just lcoations/action basic plot of what happening. i think we need to find two actors though, I know theo asked his friend to be in it. but we need another for the script.

Alex

Have we organised a meeting for tomorrow at all?

Thanks
Harriet
Hey, are people free to meet tomorrow morning? I think we need to shoot and edit before the weekend because we have to present it next Tuesday i think?

Short script for tomorow

hey guys I quickly wrote up a script with the ideas we discussed in the meeting, I did it really quickly so i hope it okay. i made it gender unspecific, incase we don't get particular actors we what. ermm, I think after reading the script, it seems quite dramatic/thriller-spy type-styled script, but if thriller does not suit when we can come to shooting we can change the tone/story of it and still keep to the plot/action aspects.

Be as blunt as possible in feedback and give any ideas you have as well. hopefully everything be okay for tomorrow/ this weeks

5.the final idea chosen

We hear the sounds of small ambience and footsteps, we cut to our protagonist walking down an empty residential street on their mobile phone S/he finishes and puts the phone away and whilst walks down the street the antagonist walks into shot and starts following our protagonist.

Our protagonist notices the antagonist and moves out of the way to let him/her pass but they don't they keep following right behind, adjusting their steps to our protagonists. Slowly the protagonist gets worried and starts walking quicker and takes a side street to avoid the antagonist. But the antagonist jumps to her a grabs his/her arm

that antagonist quickly and almost incoherently speaking

“give me what's in your pocket!”

the protagonist, scared, delves into their pocket for the phone all the while the antagonist shouting off words, playing the part of a crude thief.

“… quickly.. Now .. the phone ... quickly the phone...”

the protagonist gives the phone to the antagonist, “here” and runs off... the antagonist holding the phone in his/her hands immediately looks at the phone and typing on it, he looks off to where the protagonist is running.


We cut to the protagonist nearing the tram lines trying to catch a tram that's at the station but s/he misses it as s/he gets to the platform. Everything is eerily quiet and empty for them, thinking how come? when its daylight and near the city centre. s/he catches their breath and turns around to see the antagonist walking very quickly towards him/her

The protagonist immediately starts running down the tram-line training to get away, but to also find a tram stop with other people waiting, so for safety also. All the while looking to see where the antagonist is, hoping that no one else will jump out and stop them

after a chase the protagonist gets to a tram stop with passer-bys and walks under the station roof for a respite from the weather/wind. S/he catches a breath for a few moments and looks up, s/he sees the antagonist in a short distance walking slowly now up to the tram station. The protagonist thinks for a moment but then decides to stand his/her ground. There's a short wait till the antagonist walks up to the platform where she is standing. The protagonist finds this all rather surreal.

The antagonist reaches his hand out towards her

softer voice “here” he has the phone in his hand.

The protagonist doesn't know what to do, just looks at him/her.

“I had to know who you were calling.... (smiles) there's worse people then me out here in the world”

the protagonist looks really confused

“what do you mean?, Who are you?”

the antagonists who starting to looks more friendly takes his/her time in answering, seemingly in their own world.

“ not now, when we get on the tram, people are watching, it's not safe”

the protagonist looks at the antagonist, who gives a big grin to the protagonist. Feeling that the whole situation has been flipped the protagonist looks around at the people and the environment, starting to looks worried, who'd be watching them? The camera cuts


End

Ahoy
