Master Shot Sequence

As Director of the Master Shot Sequence for our second project I was excited to see that the script was a "generic" script in which we could go in any direction. As I thought about what could be done with the story and had numerous ideas bounce around in my head. I was hoping to do something that others hadn't done previously but need to be conscious enough that I wouldn't take on too much of a project and leave the short in peril. When our team decided that Sam and Lydia were going to act in the short I had envisioned them as a young couple who are on a leisurely stroll in a downtown setting. From this point I wanted to come up with something at the end of the film that would be completely unexpected that might add a bit of humor to the storyline. What better way to that than to give guns to a happy couple with a stroller and pay homage to the greats of Bonnie and Clyde and Natural born Killers, with less violence and blood of course. As a group we all seemed pretty happy with the idea and began work immediately.
