Music Plan
I wish I could say more for our music plan however I think the exclusion of music from our scene will be half of what makes it. I decided to exclude music from the beginning of the scene as it will emphasize the sense of isolation especially since the typically louder shots will be of running water will come just before, with the allowance of dialogue and sound effects. Some music will be added along with some sound effects - to exaggerate actions e.g. cocking gun will have a effect post filming, as will things like the clearing of a characters throat, ripping of duct-tape all diegetic sounds and the raw sound from the scene at time of filming.
One piece of music I definitely wish to be used is a piece is a very eerie composition that I see as suitable for the monologue expressing how the world got turned up-side-down and perfect especially if it's a voice over.
Name of track: "Right Behind You" It was produced by Kevin Mac Leod who makes royalty music and is licensed under creative commons as long as he is given credit this will be added at the end for legal purposes.

Script
RESTITUITION (Working Title)
Script
‘V’ [Main
Character][Voice Over]: The world is obsessed with
power, only problem is to have power you need money, and to have money you need
assets. A popular asset among the rich is oil, but eventually the oil wells ran dry.
In 2027 the world’s last oil well did exactly that. Panic followed and Anarchy broke out
among the people, protesting against their leaders, the rich who had told
them it was going to be okay whilst they hoarded their money in off-shore accounts and gave nothing
back.
Now
the world is left behind without, trust, without humanity and without justice.
[In
park leading up to execution]
Johnathan Crouch, I’ve heard a lot about you. Not all good, I have to say, got down ‘here’
you like to fiddle with innocent little kids.
***Crouch grins***
I
have here 3 accounts of rape, murder, 7 accounts of sexual assault, 2 accounts
of sexual harassment and 5 accounts of paedophilia. Yet here we are, catching
you strolling round the park scouting out your next victim. 15 years ago you’d
be locked away for life; in some countries you’d get the death sentence. Ever
since the rich (all the lawyers and judges) ran away into hiding, however,
predators like you have been able to take advantage.
***Rips
duct tape off Crouch, Crouch spits in ‘V’s face***
Crouch [Antagonist]: PISS OFF!
***‘V’
responds by hitting Crouch with hilt of gun***
‘V’ [Main
Character]: No, no, no, see me and
the rest of my gang. We’re not like the kind hearted people of the world. If
anything we’re more like you.
Crouch [Antagonist]: Shut up, you can’t do anything to me,
you know who my father is? He is so stinking rich, he could buy out one of your
own men to stab you in the back. You lay a finger on me and you’re a dead man.
‘V’ [Main
Character]: Oh shut up! Right let’s
get on with it.
***Looks
to other gang member***
You
sure you don’t want to take this one?
***Member
shakes head***
Alright
then more fun for me…
***Cocks
gun and aims it at Crouch's head, clears throat***
Johnathan Crouch, you are being charged with multiple accounts of; sexual harassment,
assault, murder, rape and pedophilia. Failure by the current justice system in
place has resulted in our involvement in this case. We have deemed your actions
crimes against humanity and therefore you have been assigned a suitable punishment.
Johnathan Crouch, do you have any last words?
Crouch [Antagonist]: Please no I’m an innocent man
like you *humorously*.
‘V’ [Main
Character]: I’m no innocent man.
***Shoots
Crouch***
Camera Movement of Locations
Unfortunately working under constraints for this task and the seemingly inflexible nature of our actors schedule while also working in a two man group we were unable to take shots of where actors may be in the film, like in video-boarding (a video storyboard). I was however able to get a few shots of the main location showing off it's surrounding and places where we can achieve other shots planned in our storyboard.
Props List
List of the Props needed:
Gun, Subject to how covert location is. Will trade gun for closed fist in final piece if seems necessary.
A rock for kids to throw
Bowl of water
Zip Ties
Duct Tape
Propaganda posters
Photos Of Location
Our first location is a local park, with lots of space and multiple big empty fields, suitable for our piece. It is important to keep in mind mise en scene when picking the exact location and the angles we can film from as we want to try not to include houses or dog bins in the background that might take away from the piece. Luckily the fields we intend to use aren't very popular especially in the time of year we are filming. This means we don't need to worry about civilians walking past as much as we might have to in a more popular location or in the middle of a more popular season i.e spring or summer.
Our second location, is a little more perfect for the effect we want and the needs of our location, the only problem is the passing traffic will make recording audio on scene fairly difficult and we are yet to hear back from the land owner as to whether we can film for the week, though it does look promising given the land hasn't been used in years. We must take more caution on this location as to not hurt ourselves as the land is a little more 'tricky'.
