Two Cents Storyboard

Part 1: Two Cents

My first project of the year is based of a screenplay written by Gregor Peach in 8th grade, revitalized into a mystery suspense/cheesy spy film. It follows a detective team on the hunt of a world renown thief by the name of Two Cents, who always leaves two pennies (1984) at the scene of every crime and is always on the run. A young female intern takes interest in the man pursuing Two Cents who dedicated his life to hunting him down, and the two become friends. The female meets Two Cents later the same night she meets the detective, who proposes to her that they work together to commit crimes and make money together, she begins to live a double life.

Unsure of whether I want to turn this into a four part series or just a one of film. (Screen play would be re-written for the script).





Part 2[?] The Worst Video Game Player in History

Satirical Documentary of someone so bad at fighting video games, but goes to multiple conventions to compete. Features one on one interview with gamer who really sucks at everything but is on such a high horse and thinks he's being interviewed because he is one of the best.

Chapman Project Outline

Story Elements:
Rather than track a "day in the life" of me, I'd like to start from the most stressful point of the day, with various harsh lights and sounds for around the first 20-25 seconds of the video, only to be interrupted by a pin fall (or a ringing of a toaster or alarm, maybe something more subtle like a candle going out and the smoke emerging) which would transition into the more calming

I'll probably have a narration going on throughout the film, but I'd like for it to be more sparse and separated between each of the segments of my film, with brief pieces of monologue at the beginning of the relaxed and intense moments. I'd like the film to end on with an open shot with my actor/actress looking outward with a feeling of resolution.



Cinematography:
I want my film to be focused on very drastic shifts between ambient, relaxing elements and more erratic and out of control themes with a precise yet seamless transition. I want this to symbolize mood changes and my perception of the outside world as a day occurs.
