END

test scenes

Rob walks in to the house, loosens his tie and smells candles in the house. He rushes to them and blows them off.

ROB

Honey, you know how I feel about lighting fires in the house

ROSE

Babe they're just candles

ROB

They're hazards! You need to stop putting them around the whole goddamn house.

ROSE

I would if you didn't leave the house smelling like shit all the time.

ROB

Its a condition Rose and you know it, stop pricking at me and just put the candles away okay!

ROSE
Can I exercise any of my rights without some kind of critisism!? Its like a freaking prison in here!

                               

Statement of Intent

Statement of Intent
The project is based on morality in the modern day, what people think is right, what they think should be TRUTH with a capital T or as some people would argue, whether or not everyone should live by their own truths.
What would these worlds look like in their extreme opposite poles? One would be strictly religious(Christian) while the other would be a world where everybody is free to do whatever it is they would like.

The skills I would like to develop are shot variation, in terms of when to use what kind of shot, medium, extreme close up etc. and make my shot selection add to the piece
I want to tighten my editing, my transitions, and SOUND! how well it complements the visuals.

Theme
Moral identity

Execution and tone
church look

crack house look

I have two major scenes, the first one is the crackhouse where thetone and mood will be dull, by color correction in the post production.
The church scene will be more lit up and clear.

Goal
The goal of the project is to have people think more critically about their personal and religious beliefs.
