Storyboard

Below is a photo of the storyboard my group and I created. These are the shots that will be taken when filming.

Script

ESTABLISHING SHOT:

EXT. PALMER ROAD- TWILIGHT

Opens on ANDREW and KEATON speeding down Palmer Road in a Jeep. 

CUT TO:

Two shot on ANDREW and KEATON in the Jeep, yelling at each other. While they are arguing, shot reverse shot is used. They are currently being pursued by another vehicle because of an illegal act they had committed, therefore they are arguing.

KEATON

Dude, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening right now!

ANDREW

Bro, we’re fine! Everything will be just fine!

KEATON

You’re fine.

ANDREW

(pause, ANDREW looks at him)

What?

KEATON

Huh.

ANDREW

Look dude, we’re being chased by a security guard, friggin, like, right there.

(Over the shoulder shot, looking into rear-view mirror, Security car is gone. They look at each other.Pause.)

KEATON

He’s… he’s gone.

ANDREW

Did we lose him?

KEATON

I… I think so.

ANDREW

Not gonna lie all this shop lifting makes me hungry. (chuckles)

KEATON

Hungry for you.

ANDREW

Dude, why?

(Cuts to McDonald’s)

WIDE SHOT:

INT. MCDONALD,S RESTAURANT- NIGHT TIME

Both ANDREW and KEATON are sitting in silence in the McDonald’s, eating hamburgers, french fries, and sipping their sodas loudly.

ANDREW

So… that’s not how I pictured today going.

KEATON

Yeah, all this fuss about stealing some Tic-Tacs.

ANDREW

You stole over 200 cases of them.

KEATON

WE stole 200 cases of them.

ANDREW

Nuh-uh you took them!

KEATON

No, you!

ANDREW

Shut up (pops one in his mouth)!

KEATON

You’re eating one right now.

ANDREW

(Looks side to side) …No.

KEATON

So, what are we going to do now?

ANDREW

Well, we got away with this. Maybe we should think bigger.

KEATON

(bites lip, looks ANDREW up and down)

ANDREW

Please stop.

KEATON

So what then?

ANDREW

I don’t know. I think we should keep it going. You know? See how far we can go before we chicken out, challenge ourselves a little. Each project could get more complex or harder or something.

KEATON

ANDREW, I don’t know about this. If we get caught it’s over. We’ll go to prison.

ANDREW

(Interrupts KEATON) But we won’t get caught! I won’t let us. And if we do I give you permission to blame me in court. Besides, we aren’t going to take it as far as to rob a bank. Just a little fun stuff, to get the blood going.

KEATON

(Exasperated sigh)

ANDREW

Oh c’mon! Look at it this way KEATON, this is the only thing we’re good at. We’re losers at school, we have no talent elsewhere, and we’re the only friends each other has. Now, we finally found something that we’re successful at and you wanna give up right away. Please? Just a few more times?

KEATON

Fine. Only on one condition.

ANDREW

And what’s that?

KEATON

(Smiles slyly, winks, pulls out two walkie-talkies)

ANDREW

(Look of fear on his face)

                                             CUT TO: WIDE SHOT

ANDREW and KEATON

(Pretending to be spies in McDonald’s, rolling across the ground and tables, hiding behind trash cans, and talking through walkie-talkies as they exit the building)

OVER THE SHOULDER:

INT. ANDREW’S HOUSE- NIGHT TIME

ANDREW and KEATON are sitting in front of a computer screen supposedly doing ”research” for their new found projects. Both of them are whispering to each other and ANDREW randomly outbursts in laughter.

KEATON

(whispering to ANDREW and pointing to the computer screen) Oh, that’s a good one.

ANDREW

(whispering) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at that one.

KEATON

(whispering) Oh, wait. (pause and clicks on the mouse) No this one.

ANDREW

(loudly laughs, INSERT SHOT on the computer screen) Man, I love memes. They really do de-stress a person.

KEATON

(laughs) Quality humor!

ANDREW

(smiling) Well, you aren’t wrong! But we should probably get to work.

KEATON

Yeah, yeah, you’re right.

ANDREW

Alright, let’s get to work.

(TWO-SHOT looking at ANDREW and KEATON over the top of the computer screen, fades to black.)

Scouted Locations

We wanted to make sure there was authenticity to the film. The location we chose were:

Palmer Road

McDonald's

A cast member's home

Choosing Our Cast

When we first decided to make our film a comedy we wanted to make sure the humorous parts of the. film were natural. We needed two people who had a natural chemistry and were naturally comedic. Sienna suggested we use two of her friends, Andrew and Keaton. They are both in drama at our high school and are used to developing a character. This task for them would be easy and fun. Andrew and Keaton are very close friends and are very funny together. As mentioned before, they're both in drama and are used to performing for and audience. The two of them appear to be having a natural conversation while following our script. During the script writing process we took that into account. We based their lines off of things they would both usually say.

Andrew- played by Andrew


Keaton- played by Keaton

The movie starts with a black screen and it states the company that produced the movie. It then adds in a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. The movie title is displayed over a shot of a car driving down the road. The opening intensifies as it shows a shot of a woman in the backseat of a car and she is in labor. Her and the man who is driving are both screaming. The man is portrayed as having a good time driving fast. At this point you may be able to tell the man is into cars and racing. He continues to drive by the hospital without stopping because he is distracted by his driving. At the end of the 2 minutes, the man slams the breaks and there is a shot of his car displaying the number 13, showing it is a race car. After this shot, it fades to black.
