Group discussion and screenplay
In this lesson we sorted ourselves into groups which we will work with for the preliminary task, I paired up with Deet Bains and called our group 'Hungry Films'
Our preliminary task would consist of two characters having a short conversation, we worked together to create the following screen play:
Interior: Drama Hall: Afternoon
Characters: Hitman and 'The Boss'
Screenplay: The Hitman swings open the large door and cautiously walks in, he walks over to the desk in where The Boss is sitting waiting for him, he takes a seat opposite the boss and they exchange dialougue and then the hitman walks out the room nervously.
Script:
Hitman: Got the money?
The Boss: Here it is, get it done quick!
Hitman: Are you sure?
The Boss: Yeah, now go!
