Planning meetings stuff from week 3 (JAN 16-20)

On the third week we finished up our very final storyboard which included a setting,  actors and acting change and we planned every single shot in detail and tried to commit every ideas we got. After that we decided what props to use, we decided black clothes, black hat and a black bandanna for the criminal character, we chose to use the black bandanna because it represents Jay's gang. He wears outfits that could be seen as trouble kid or criminal just to be seen on public and gain respect. The other character which is a casual young man wears normal clothes. The story begins with Curtis entering the park and sitting down the bench. As he was playing around with his phone he recognizes a mysterious man who was dressed in a uncertain way that he couldn't tell but the audience could. That mysterious who is called Jay was walking up to him in a swaggered motion to show his status. Curtis didn't take him serious and answered Jay's question sarcastically. Jay didn't take too well to his response and he was getting aggressive towards Curtis. The situation escalated which Curtis couldn't control, suddenly Jay punches him and it was clear to the audience that Jay wasn't messing around. Already after a few shots Curtis was lying helpless on the floor. Jay was really serious and picked up a bunt object, he strikes at Curtis with all his strength and the shot fades out. Jay called someone and started to talk in another language we placed subtitles at the bottom of the screen so the audience knows what he's saying, then you can hear a zip and a car door which Curtis won't realize but the audience will. And this will carry on the story. We decided to call the movie "Redemption" because we thought about a complex story which is not easy to tell, can Jay clear his sins?
