Kendall: What you called me for seemed urgent, especially since I’m off duty at the moment. Give me the rundown.

William: Yeah, I apologize for that. In summation, no one in the other districts of Florida has been able to solve this mystery.

Kendall: Oh, you’re talking about the murder case up north. The murder didn’t leave any traces, right?

William: (makes a confirmation noise) The whole state looked to you and our department once no one else could solve the case. I’ll send you the information over email so everything can remain classified. You never know when someone is listening.

Kendall: Alright, I’ll keep an eye on my email. Have a good evening.

Decoded

The title was something that I had to deliberate over for quite a while. After a few days of thought, I decided to go with Decoded. I believe that Decoded fits the plot very well and will gain some attention from prospective viewers.

Sound and Audio

Within the film there will probably be two different songs playing in the background in order to properly set the mood. These songs are likely to be royalty-free classical pieces I find on the internet.

As for sounds, there is going to be a substantial amount of diegetic sounds. Some diegetic sounds that I have planned (such as the door knock, etc.) may become non-diegetic if the sound doesn’t project enough in the film. I highly doubt that I will have to make any of those replacements, however.

The cast and crew…

My cast will consist of two people, and those two people are close friends of mine. The protagonist will be played by my female friend by the name of

Kendall, and

The most prominent assisting role will be played by another friend that goes by the name of William.

The crew will consist of only myself, and I will be playing the role of director and editor.

The Set (Locations)

The main place that I will be filming will be my own room, which will serve as the protagonist’s bedroom. This room has most of the health hazards, but these hazards can be avoided. I feel as if this room fits the eclectic protagonist as it displays varying interests (especially through the double bass and electric bass in the room).

The other location will be Kendall’s home, as it has a more professional and smaller look and feel to it, which I feel fits some of the scenes including the head detective best.

This will be the detective’s home, and willbe in a few shots that are set indoors and outdoors. ->

Safety

In my film there will be minimal health risks aside from the minor risks that may come along with using a computer. However, both my actor and actress are quite experienced with computers and shouldn’t have any issues whatsoever.

Along with the computers, there are some heavy objects in the rooms we will be filming in (the most notable being an instrument amp), so due care will be taken around those objects.

Aside from those two things, the environments in which most of the shots are taken are quite safe.
