Opening scene Close up of an alarm going off at 07:30 am. Character hits it a
couple of times to shut it off. No words.

Walking down the stairs slowly and then walking into the kitchen
yawning.
Open the fridge to look for food.
Short montage of getting breakfast ready and then slowly eating
breakfast.

Set outside facing a gate. Walking outside, mid shot.

Walking down through town slowly looking at a phone.

keeps on walking.
As he walks along he trips up against the curb of the sidewalk. He
keeps walking.

it but is to late.

GEORGE
Hi, mom, I missed train.
Alright, bye!

Next morning
Alarm repeats the next morning but at 06:00 am. Walks quicker down
the stairs and into the kitchen in a slight rush.

Eating breakfast slightly faster and more anxious tapping fingers.

Walk out the door faster whilst putting a bag on. Walking down into
town again but walking at a brisk pace. Pass the same bike at the
same spot and look at it and then keep walking.
Whilst walking at a fast pace, stepping up a curb and tripping over
it at the same place as last time. Look at the curb confused and
annoyed and then keep walking in a rush.

character arrives.

Character picks up the phone again and calls someone.

GEORGE
Hi, mom. I missed it, again!

Hangs up the phone and walks off.

Next morning

Run fast down the stairs and into the kitchen. Looks around for
food. Cuts to a shot montage of food being prepared.

Eating food very fast, standing up and leaving whilst taking another
spoon full of breakfast. Running out of the door forgetting a
jumper. Running down in town very fast in a rush for the train.

Whilst passing the same bike as last time, the character stops
slightly again to look at the bike with curiosity before running off
after the train.

Tripping over the same curb on the street as last time and looking
at it confused as why he has tripped on it three times in a row.
Train starts to leave before character arrives at the station.

Frustrated, he calls someone again on his phone

GEORGE
Mom? Yeah I missed it again
Walking back home he passes the same bike. Stopes and looks around.
Nervously he takes the chain off the bike and gets on it.
He starts the cycle away when someone comes outside of a house and
shouts at him.

BIKE OWNER
Oi! Thats my bike!!

Cycling fast to get away from the owner of the bike he just stole.
Very happy he has a way of getting to the place hes meant to be.
Cycles slowly off out of shot.

Recording and Editing Equipment

What equipment are you using to film?

Include make & model

I am using a cannon 550D to film my five minute crime production. I will only use
one camera. I will also be using a tripod to make my still shots very smooth and
less bumpy. This will make the production feel easier to watch and look better.

What software are you using to edit on?

Include a screenshot

The software that I am using to edit my production is Adobe Premiere Pro CC

2015. This is what we are meant to use and we have them on our school
computers as well.
