Describe the scene and action. How many people are on camera?

There will be one main subject who we follow through a day in the life of a college student trying to survive (aka pass) but there may be some individuals in the background going about their normal day to add to the authenticity.

How much space is needed?

A classroom.

Will the action be shot from one or multiple locations?

Multiple- two buildings if necessary for change of pace in the story.

Is there off-screen space available?

Yes.

What are the light levels and sources of light? How does this impact your scene?

Natural light from outside and the indoor translucent light in the rooms. It impacts our scene by making it look realistic and not staged.

Are you recording sound? Are there any issues to be aware of?

Maybe a little of the daily shuffle of papers, pens, computers, and hustle and bustle of the everyday traffic. No issues to be aware of.

Is there any special equipment needed?

No.

Are there any concerns that need to be addressed about shooting at this location?

Considering the time and day we shoot we need to take into consideration that other classes will be taking place.

First Time At The Carnival

by

Jentry Binder

EXT. At a carnival- Night

Patricia walks down the strip, head held high, eyes wide looking at all of the carnival lights. Camera POV shot of what she sees. She stops when she sees the Matterhorn ride. She speeds up, grabbing her boyfriend’s hand, pulling him along towards the line. They wait a few minutes.

Patricia (to Jake)

I’ve always wanted to ride one of these!

Jake (to Patricia)

They’re pretty intense.

The line speeds up and they get a spot on the Matterhorn. They strap themselves in and the ride attendant walks around double checking everyone’s belts. Close up of the attendant checking Patricia’s belt.

Jake

(teasing Patricia)

You ready for this?

Patricia

(excited)

Ready as I’ll ever be!

The ride starts up. Gradually getting faster. Patricia’s facial expression changes from excited to nervous. The ride reaches its maximum speed and Patricia’s expression is careless and excited. She opens her arms up.

           Patricia

I feel like I could fly away in this thing!

Zoom out of a close up of Patricia’s arms open and face happy and smiling, to an outside view of the Matterhorn spinning at full speed.

Documentary

For our documentary I am the director and we have decided that we will be interviewing Scott Ryan. He is a tattoo artist at Bully Breed Tattoos & Piercing in Granger, Indiana. For the treatment I would like to get footage in a typical interview style having him as the main subject in the frame and using voice over while showing footage of him tattooing a client and possibly piercing them as well. We will use some of the questions that I posted in the previous documentary blog post and come up with some others that we discuss as a group.
