 Script- 

We open on the firepit to which we zoom out to a group of four teenagers roasting marshmallows on the fireplace. Taking a pan shot of the scene we focus on Taylor who is laughing and starts to speak 

Taylor- I am so happy that we finally got to hang out since we have all been so busy  

Focus shifts from Taylor to Denton in a jump cut  

Denton- yes, it was a fun day. We hit the mall, then headed to the beach and got some pizza. 

It does a quick switch to Cecelia and Wyatt 

Cecelia- and it was a great idea to end it with marshmallows 

Wyatt- yeah, thanks, Taylor.  

It once again doses a pan shot to Taylor 

Taylor -no problem, guys!  

As they finish their marshmallows, the dialogue fades and the non-diegetic sound starts to fill in and music overtakes as it has seen the group is conversating and laughing with each other near the firepit standing. It turns into a medium shot as the group is heard once again fading in.  

Taylor- okay, before all of you leave, let us head up to the roof and check out the stars. Trust me, the view from my roof is awesome.  

Cecelia- okay if you say so, it sounds fun 

The camera turns over to Denton who has a concerned look on his face 

Denton- I am not sure guys, it does not sound safe 

The group is already heading up to the roof as Denton is speaking with an over-the-shoulder shot aiming at Denton as they walk away. 

Wyatt- do not worry Denton, we will be fine. 

As a jump cut goes to another scene, they are all on the roof looking up at the night sky enjoying the view.  

Taylor- see is not this a magnificent view. 

Taylor turns to Denton to which he responds.  

Denton- yes, got to admit this is great. 

They are all enjoying the night view until a sudden bright light appears out of nowhere on Taylor. Before they could say anything, the light is gone in an instant, along with Taylor. All they are left with is confusion and questions.

Group Blog (2022/23)

   I would like to do my A-level film in a group. Last year, I expressed my uncertainty on the topic of groups. I stated how I often found it easier to work by myself because you have full control over all the components of the project. I went on to say "You do not have to rely on other people, and you will not be dragged down if they forget their work". I remember stating that there was no clear answer, but this year, I have come to a conclusion. I decided that the best way to go is to put my trust in the abilities of my group mates. I would like to partner with Max, Jibril, and Alec because I believe it will make creating the film easier. Max is someone who can point me in the right direction. We have been in many of the same classes over the last couple years and we have gotten along very well. He has, and presumably will keep track of what elements need to be included and help with the design process. Considering that I have some artistic talent, I will be doing the story...
