Scout Date & Time:  Monday 17, 2014, 1:00pm

Location address:

Rum Village Biking Trails

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

One person wakes up, gasping for air, in the snow in the woods. He looks to be a city-dwelling business man. He shows fear and distance from his surroundings at first, hitting branches, walking fast trying to figure out how to get out of the woods, lifting his phone up trying to get signal to make a call.

In a sort of surrender, he notices the details of the nature around him. The woods start to seem more comfortable to him, he is gently touching the nature rather than hitting is. We see what he is looking at – the beauty in the details of the nature. He eventually finds the road, but with sadness in his face.

 How much space is needed?

Approximately 200 sq. ft. of woods and a roadside view of the woods.

 Will the action be shot from one or multiple locations?

One location – the woods

 Is there off-screen space available?

Yes

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

Light levels are bright with how reflective the snow is, and the source of light being the sun at mid-day. This, and the fact that it is so cold outside now, makes it so we have to be conscious of time when shoot. The brightness will make it sound I have to be careful of over-exposure.

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

We are not recording sound on sight. We are potentially shooting a voice-over in a quiet location.

 Is there any special equipment needed?

A long lens to better capture more detail in the nature close-ups

Tripod/Monopod

Mobile Camera Rig

*hand warmers

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

Weather conditions

 Other notes:

I want the story to start with long and medium shots of the protagonist and gradually progress into close-ups and tight shots. This is to convey the story arc that happens with the protagonist feeling confused, scared and abandoned of comfort in the beginning of the story, arching into him starting to feel at home in the forest. So there will be extreme close-ups of nature that are juxtaposed with the arc of long and medium shots of the protagonist to close-ups of him. The last shot when he finds the road that could lead to home will be a long shot again, to signify the feeling of being abandoned of comfort again.

Phrases

• You gotta believe me.
• It makes so much sense now.
• Look what I got, isn’t it fancy?
• Don’t half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing.
• Are you sure you’re OK?

Two robbers, Charles and Emily, run into an alley and crouch behind a dumpster. Emily is light-headed and sits down on the ground, knowing she has been shot, but Charles doesn’t realize it and thinks she is just out of breath.

CHARLES

You gonna be able to hang in there?

EMILY

(breathing heavily for a couple seconds)..Yea. I’ll be fine.

CHARLES

Ok, so if we can make it to that fire escape…

(Emily puts her hand in her shirt and pulls it out, and sees that the wound is worse than she thought.)

CHARLES (continuing in background)

…we should be able to climb up to the roof and

EMILY

(Breathy, mumbling) Ugh, fuck, Charles.

CHARLES

Oh shit, Emily! I didn’t think they got you!

EMILY

No, no, no, I’ll be fine, really. Now what about the fire thing? (grabs side in pain)

CHARLES

(hesitates and is worried) …uh, the fire escape over there. We, um…Emily are you sure you’re OK? It’s just that, that’s a lot of blood.

EMILY

(gets up from the ground) We don’t really have a choice, Charles. I kinda gotta be OK. (almost falls to the ground in pain again, but stops herself and walks toward fire escape) Now stop being a pussy. Let’s go.
