1. What/who is the film about?

The film is about two bunglers, turned murderers, who don’t know how to handle this shift in career. These guys are not used to having to deal with this sticky situation of having a dead body to take care of, but they are going to have to get used to it… fast.

2. Who is your audience?

I think that the audience for this film would be teenagers or young adults that enjoy a suspenseful, yet comical, movie.

3. What is the important point this screenplay should make?

The important point this screenplay makes is that you can always persevere through difficult times if you put your mind to it. Everyone makes mistakes, what matters is how you take care of them.

4. What do you want the audience to do and/or feel?

I want this audience to be interested by the story, wanting to know more about what happens. However, I also want the audience to laugh, or at least chuckle, because of the funny situations that these robbers get themselves into.

5. Character Descriptions

Max is a dark-skinned, short, wide-built man with black, torn jeans, a bright, Hawaiian-themed button-up, and a black ski mask. He was impatient, dismissive, and timid, yet full of confidence. He seemed to draw the attention of the room every time he walked in because he had a loud voice in a constantly-confused attitude.

John is a taller, white man who is skinny. He is wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and matching black ski mask, but his bright blue eyes shine through the mask’s eye-holes. John is confident, competent, and easily angered by all of the mistakes that Max makes. John is constantly in awe at the situations that Max is able to get them stuck in. However, John is the guy to take care of problems when Max brings them about.

6. Why does this story matter to you? Why did you choose it?

This story doesn’t have a deep significance to me, but, when I thought of it, I instantly thought that it could be a good idea. I chose it because I want to try to portray that interesting murder comedy that is playing in my head, onto paper.

7. Why will your audience be interested in this?

I think that my audience will be interested because they will be wondering how the characters got into the situation they did and how they are going to get out. I think that the comedy, if I manage to fit some in, will further grasp their attention and keep them interested in the film.

8. How will you grab their attention?

I plan to grab their attention by starting with a statement that seems ridiculous and, gradually, tell the story of what got them there and how they get out of it.

1. How did this fourth week go for you? What was challenging?  What could Mr. Burr have done better?

I think that the fourth week went well. It seemed like it was going to be something completely new, but it turned out to be a different perspective of the same thing. What I mean is that my screenplay felt like I was recording, but instead of sharing the film, I just described what happened and what was said. The challenging part was thinking of what to write about, after the initial idea everything flowed smoothly. Also, the style board was a little challenging. I think that Mr. Burr did great.

2. What was the most valuable thing you learned this summer in Mobile Media? Why?

I feel like I have already said this, but the most valuable thing that I learned in this entire class was not video technique, but rather, it was video content. Telling a story is difficult, but understanding what that means is harder. Knowing what it means to tell a story in a video is something important that I learned in Mobile Media this summer.

3. How do you feel about the storytelling? Are you proud of your project? What went well? What could go better

I liked my project. I had to compromise a lot of my story on the spot, but I feel like that added to the storytelling aspect of it. I think that writing it went well because the details just flowed. All I had to do was imagine that I was there filming or taking a picture and describe in detail what I see. One thing that could have gone better was thinking through the story a little more before writing so that I could make the story more interesting.

4. Any final comments you would like to leave about this class. Likes? Dislikes? Room for improvement?

All I have to say is that I really enjoyed this class. I think that video was a great thing to learn after learning a lot about photo. I think that Mr. Burr did an amazing job with this class. THANK YOU!
