  Location -  My group plans to film at Easterlin park 1000 NW 38th street, Oakland Park, FL 33309 and at a group member's house.  Schedule- 2/26/22-2/27/22 - My group will gather all necessary props and costumes. Though it is important to my group that spending is kept to a minimum, I will go to a hardware and costume store to gather the necessary equipment I need for my group's characters, costumes and props. 2/28/22-3/3/22 - I will finalize and complete my entire storyboard. 3/5/22-3/6/22 -  My group will start filming. This means my group will go to the first location, Easterlin park. While my group is at the park, scenes one through ten will be filmed, however my group will only film the parts of these scenes that require the usage of the park. During these scenes, including myself, three members of my group will be acting while one member films. 3/9/22 - Filming will continue. My group will film scenes three, five, eight, and ten. The parts being filmed in these scenes on

  My group has decided to avoid using any more than two or three fonts. The use of various fonts such as this would become a problem . The relative simplicity of only a few fonts is designed to avoid overloading the viewer’s eyes and the title growing too crowded and active. We also have to be mindful of color contrast, avoiding the titles blending in with the background at the moments they are shown. A bad contrast would look like this , seeing as a viewer can barely see the text against the white background. We must also be mindful of our font color depending on the background at the exact moment- a black color would work well on a white background, but not as well on a darker one. As a working idea, the main font will be reminiscent of a computer’s code text (in a technological sense) and the majority of titles will come off of a computer screen whenever the screen is shown. The main title will be in a markedly larger font than the rest of the titles and will be located at the bo

  Pitch: A group of researchers gathering information on an anomaly in their world, and its behaviors and properties. Parts: Base, Scientist 1, 2, and 3 Scene 1:  Opening shots on technology- computers, scientific equipment, et cetera.  Narration: “I still remember it like it was yesterday. The first day, or the last depending on how you look at it. The day he woke up. The day he came for us.” Scene 2:  A group of scientists in a forested area, shown walking towards their apparent destination.. Scientist 1: “Yeah, about here should be good. I don’t really wanna get any closer to it, do you?” Scientist 2: “Not on your life.” The scientists set up their equipment from backpacks and are shown taking measurements on various ecological factors such as soil and wind speed. Scene 3: A man is shown sitting in a room in front of a computer. Papers are littered around the room and the computer is showing scientific readouts. Base: “Hey, someone get some of that soil a few feet to the left. It’s
