Location Survey

Location - Allen’s House

Date & Time - Afternoon, date to be determined.

Location Description - Home. Basic color walls with big windows for good natural lighting. Outside is surrounded by trees and grass. Very open. The house is a light brown and is aesthetically pleasing.

Scene & Action - There are back and forth a between two friends as they make small talk and decide to go outside. They get locked out and we see them attempting to get back in. There are only two people on screen so far as we've discussed.

Space Needed - We will not need a ton of space - mostly the entire living room and perimeter of the house.

Locations - This will be shot in mostly one location. Other locations are being discussed.

There are offscreen space available.

Light - We might need extra lighting, depending on how the lights in the house compliment the natural light coming from the windows. For exterior shots, we should be fine with natural lighting.

No issues with sound. Sound will be recorded.

Space looks a little small, but nothing we can't handle. It will just be the two actors, director, and camera person. We should be fine.

Phrases & Script

‘THE TEST’


FADE IN


SCENE 1. CLASSROOM.


CHARACTER ONE  sits at a computer desk, finishing up a test. CUT TO a lot of different, dramatic angles of them stressing, their fingers typing on the keyboard, the screen, etc. FINALLY, they finish.


CHARACTER ONE
Finally. It's over.


Pan to CHARACTER TWO, who is sitting beside them.


CHARACTER TWO
See? That wasn't so bad!


ONE
I guess. I've studied for this test the entire last two weeks and I still think I could've studied more.


TWO
If you studied anymore, you wouldn't have had a social life.


ONE
I guess. Oh! The results are calculated.


TWO
Good luck! I bombed mine.


CHARACTER ONE views the results, and isn't happy with them.


TWO
So?


ONE
I don't want to talk about it.


Angry, CHARACTER ONE gets up and storms out defeated. CHARACTER TWO just shrugs and continues on their phone or computer.

Phrases

‘See? That wasn't as bad as you thought.’ My mom said this to me when we drove through Chicago traffic in my new car.

‘I'm ready for this election to be done.’ I have heard numerous people through the week say this. In many different settings.

‘She got mad at me for calling her Velveeta Shells & Cheese.’ This was my friend Matt to a classmate. Totally nonsense, but has been an inside joke with our friend group all week.

‘Do what you love.’ This was said by my brother to my mother, as we discussed the possibility of her moving to Chicago one day.

‘This park is like a freaking petting zoo.’ My fiancé in regards to us playing Pokemon Go.

The Poster 

The Vision

Through this documentary, I want to focus a lot on showing off the processes and things that are being focused on in this documentary. I want to use a lot of b-roll shots of different areas of campus that are done up very nicely. I plan on using a lot of direct jump cuts - I am not a fan of fancy transitions. I feel like on this documentary it wouldn't fit. I also would like to use the natural sounds of the campus, such as nature and students talking. 

Documentary Subject

For my subject, I decided to chose my Dad, Gary Hasbrook. Born in 1961, he has been on the police force since he graduated college. I can't remember how long he's been there, but he's been there long enough to be able to retire - he just enjoys his job so he doesn't. He was an actual patrolling police officer for a number of years, then moved into car theft investigation, and now works as one of two fire investigators on the South Bend Police force.

I decided that this interview would be an interesting addition to a documentary that would have to do with current events involving the police force and the community. It would be interesting to see from a police officer of many year's point of view of our own city.

Questions 

1.) How has the relationship between the community and the police force changed over the years?
2.) How would you explain this relationship in our city? Is it good? Is it bad?
3.) What do you think affects this relationship the most?
4.) What are your views on incidents of police brutality in the past couple years?
5.) What are ways you think that could help prevent police brutality?
6.) Do you think city size and environment affects people's feelings towards police?
7.) How does your department deal with claims of police brutality?
8.) How did people react when you would go to calls, pull people over, etc?
9.) What's the most interesting call you've been apart of?
10.) Are there any other things you'd like to say about the so called police brutality problem in the United States currently?

Treatment

We see the front of a house, and hear the happy music. It is a sunny day, the wind is blowing lightly, and the sun is shining bright. It has a very happy feel to it.

We start to move forward through the yard, walking up the steps and through the house. We move into a open living room/kitchen, brightly lit with sunlight. We follow through the hallway and turn into a bedroom, where we see the actor, male, sitting at his desk on a computer.

He is typing away, laughing at his computer and obviously enjoying whomever he is talking to.

When the conversation ends, he closes the laptop and sits back in his chair, very content or excited. He is in love with the girl at the other end of the computer.

We go through a series of shots of different days, all him on the computer typing away with this unknown female. His outfits change from pajamas, daily clothing, work clothing, etc. Sometimes he is sitting at the desk, sometimes on the floor, in his bed, eating food at the table, etc. We get the idea of talking day in and day out with this person.

Eventually, we see him in normal clothing, sitting on his bed typing away, and onscreen we see the words “we should meet for real” pop up. “Sure! Where to?” pops up from the other side of the screen. “How about the River walk?” She types back. “Sure! See you soon!” He says, and then closes the laptop. This entire moment can be discussed, whether with typing on screen, or if text bubbles would be possible to create to give the feeling of seeing the texts themselves.

We then see a montage of him getting ready to go on this date and finally meet this girl. This includes him trying on different clothing (from very fancy to not at all), trying to fix his hair, brushing his teeth, putting on too much cologne or deodorant, counting his money (he doesn’t have a lot). He sneaks over to his neighbor’s house and pulls flowers from their garden to give to her.

We are now in the car, driving. We see the car traveling down the road; from the front see view through the dashboard. We move to the next location, which is him getting out of the car at the River walk. We see some soft shots of the location, such as flowers, the water flowing, and people walking. We follow him walking towards the footbridge, where they are supposed to meet.

As we wait, we see him staring at his watch, looking around, and him staring to see who walks up to him. As his spirits start to fall and time starts to pass, we see texts from him pop up saying “Where are you? Is this the right place?” etc.

Time will pass and we see that she stood him up. Frustrated, he throws the flowers on the ground. The final shot is him walking away in the background, as we get a low shot of the flowers on the ground.

Throughout the video, we will have little snippets of B Roll of him trying to convey love with the computer. This includes him at a fancy dinner setting with the computer across from him, him hugging the computer, laying next to the computer, etc.

Music Video Analysis

"Smile" by R5

This has always been a music video that stuck out to me and that I enjoy watching due to the tricks that they use in it. As a tiny backstory, I discovered this band because of my mom, and we have traveled all over the country to follow this band around to seven different concerts. When they came out with this one, I was amazed at how cool it looked. I would say that this music video is more conceptual with a mixture of performative. While they are singing the lyrics of the song and performing to the camera, they aren't performing with their bodies. Their bodies are doing different actions. 

Some key moments in this music video can be shown when the band rewinds all the way back to the beginning action. One example of this is at 1:32, where they start just sitting down at a picnic. Also, some other key moment in the video are when the seasons change from summer getting wet, spring having a picnic, fall playing in the leaves, and ending with being outside in the snow during the winter. 

Throughout this music video, the colors used depend on the season being depicted. For the spring, they're using softer, muted colors and nothing too dark or nothing too bright. In the fall, it turns to more fall colors, such as orange, yellow, red, and brown. In the summer, they use bright colors in both their outfits and items they're using, and in the winter, they use darker colors that contrast against the white snow that's falling in the video. The tone stays very similar, as it's the same people just changing a bit when it goes through the seasons. The rhythm throughout the video is about the same, using the rewind motion. I'm not sure how it is done; how they can keep their mouths moving normally, but everything else moving backwards. It's very interesting. 

The camera moves throughout the music video, following certain band members, depending on who is the lead singer at that point in the song. At some points, though, especially before a season changes, the camera will stop on a wide shot of the entire band in their original starting position. 

While I don't understand how the actual song itself follows what's happening in the music video, I know it does follow the main point of the song, which is to 'smile'. The music video is fun and happy and uses some pretty cool effects that keeps you smiling. It's not depressing, sad, or angry. It's a happy music video that follows the whole 'smiling' idea.
