Roles and Participants: Actors Chad Johnson - Drake Jason Pierre - Joker Ethan Lavelle-Stablein - Akira Sebastian Suarez-Espino - Ren Maria - Filming Ethan Lavelle-Stablein and Sebastian Suarez-Espino Editing Chad Johnson and Jason Pierre Health and Safety: Although we are going to be using prop swords, they will be wooden instead of metal. This way if we accidentally whack each other, the impact wouldn't hurt anybody as badly. Another solution that we considered was attacking with the swords very slowly, then editing the footage to make it look faster. This way, there would be no way to injure anybody while swing the swords. In order to make sure we don't hit anybody else who are bystanders, we plan to record secluded from others so they couldn't be in the background or get caught in an accident. In the worse case scenario, we will place 2 of our phones down in a secure place to be ready to call the police in case someone gets hurt. Schedule 3/4-3/6: We plan to film the f

  Scene 1 -Drake (V:O) : Hey, my names Drake, and I'm a former gang member of the wire gang. I left because I changed my ways. I realized violence isn't always the answer to everything. Some may call me weak and pathetic and some might even call me a scared loser. However, in my own head, I'm the strongest. The only one to break out the cycle of constant violence and endless regrets. I have a sister who's often kind to me. I remember ever since we were kids she was always the one to stick up to me. She influenced me to change my lifestyle and so now, I'm living a calm peaceful life..... or so I thought... Cell phone rings (Huh... my phones ringing.. anonymous call? Wonder who this could be..) Answers Scene 2 -Drake: Hello. Who's speaking? -Joker: We have her... heartbeat sound Drake: Huh? What're you talking about? Joker: Your sister.. want her back? Drake: What the... Joker: You know where to find me... meet me there in 10 minutes or else.

  Our group decided to do the thriller genre for our short film. We came to this decision because we looked at many of our favorite films. The thing we found in common was the genre thriller, and the elements of emotions it gives off.

Another element that we admired was the suspense that it builds overtime. This leaves a feeling of mystery and uncertainty for the viewer to be astonished when the truth comes out. For our opening sequence, we will open up within the dead of night. While two brothers are sleeping, there's an assassin looking to kill one of the brothers. The assassin gets inside the house and kills one of the brothers offscreen, then leave a card threatening the brother. Once the other brother wakes up from the other brother's cry, he will be shocked and emotional. Then he will read the left behind card and make up his mind to get reveng

I like the second idea because I could make it pretty scary. I have the ability to make the second pith scary by filming at night! overall I like both ideas. the pitch I decided to use is the first one because i feel i could be more creative.
