Planning

Myself (Ebony), Holly and Paige brainstormed possible ideas for what the conversation in the short film would depict these included such things as; a family, interview, boyfriend and girlfriend etc. We finally made the decision to go with my idea of having a gangster killing someone who hadn't given them their money.

The Story:


A female gangster (Clarissa) hasn't been given the money she's owed so she waits in the other woman's house (Maria), they have an exchange of words and the matter is finally settled with Clarissa pulling a gun out on Maria.


To set the typical scene of a "whack" we decided to have the exchange in a low lit room and in this instance the movie room in our Media block fit the bill. We see a shot of Clarissa in the dark, then her turning on the coincidentally placed lamp to create an air of mystery around her.


Paige and I shall be acting out the characters, as well as being hands on with both filming and editing along with Holly.


The Script:


Clarrissa:  Sit down Maria.
Maria: I'm sorry I don’t have your money, I need more time.
Clarrissa: Sorry ain’t gonna cut it anymore. (Pulls out weapon)
Maria: I will get it to you I promise
Clarrissa: This is one promise you’re not gonna get to keep!


Monday we hope to organise what shots we are going to include in the clip, complete a detailed story board and hopefully start filming for it.
