Production Process

Deciding on Specified Scenes

I am currently in the process of deciding on and finalizing specific scenes to then move on to create the storyboard and script for the opening. In terms of scouting actors, I have already confirmed the availability and commitment of two actors, and I am considering looking for an additional two actors and/or actresses. The two actors who I have signed on are both quite knowledgeable about cars and have a deep interest in the subject, which makes them well suited for the film opening. In terms of the necessary equipment and editing software, I have all the software I need, and a decent amount of equipment. For the scenes in which moving vehicles are used, I have considered using a gopro mounted at a suitable angle either inside or outside the vehicle. However, the gopro footage is not always the best, and the audio is often low quality. If it does work out, I will borrow an additional gopro to get a second angle.

Scenes Under Consideration

Here are several scenes under consideration:

Intro Scene

The scene starts off in the garage with cars being worked on by a couple of mechanics. Two mechanics stand over a particular car, examining it, and then looking at each other before leaving the area. They then discuss the various cars in the shop they will be stealing and selling. Mechanic A cuts mechanic B short, saying he wants to keep the rare car for himself. Shocked and slightly enraged, B says its out of the question and could ruin their shot at getting more cars and staying under the radar. A agrees and apologizes, but as the two walk out, he looks back longingly at the car.

Shop Scene

This scene takes place with all the other cars out of the shop. Mechanic A is the last one left. After finishing his work on the car, he is supposed to take it to the owners house the following morning. After admiring it longingly, he sighs and gets in the car. A brief moment of silence, and then the engine turns over and the lights come on.

Getaway Scene

Driving through the night with the stolen car, Mechanic A is on edge as he is worried about mechanic B. Up ahead, who should he see but B. Coming to a sliding stop, he gets and B warns him of the consequences of stealing the car. The two struggle in a fight and A gets away, driving off into the night.

Part of Getaway Scene

As a part of the fight, a *gun would be pulled out and there would be a struggle for it. Mechanic A would drive away while mechanic B points and prepares to shoot, but lowers it in hesitation. 

*the gun would be clearly identifiable as FAKE for safety reasons, as it is made entirely out of wood, and is NOT painted to look real.
