Title Details Our film is titled Miami Reprisal It will appear at the beginning after the studios (“…presenting: Miami Reprisal) Title cards will be white, with a clear and simple font. They will fade in as appropriate, and we will make sure that they contrast with the background and are easy to see.

Sound Details There will be no diegetic sound during the video There will only be non-diegetic sound: the music, which will play throughout the film We have a few choices for music and what we use will depend on how well it fits with the video when we start editing. The primary candidates right now are: ◦Electric Dreams, by Perturbator ◦Untitled, by Green Kingdom

Location List Fort Lauderdale Beach for the main cinematic scenes to lay out the setting Las Olas and nearby streets for mysterious shots of actor and set the tone/mood and show plot Ryan’s House for shot of the bloody object, furthering plot Canal by Ryan’s house for more cinematic scenes to further add to the setting and tone

Participants Ryan Brinson: Director and Lead Editor, assistant story writer Dominic Caprio: Lead Actor Laurence Mullen: Camera operator, story writer, assistant editor

Health & Safety Most of our scenes will be cinematic and therefore we do not need to worry about stunts. For the beach shots it will be in a very public and safe area. We will have to be careful at Las Olas, because it will be night/sunset with not a lot of people. We will have adults with us to ensure safety. During the boat filming we will wear life jackets and make sure the camera is secure and safe on the deck. We will make sure to handle the hammer or bat carefully and not mess around with it.
