Drawing Board

Ok so i wanted to go in a new direction with my movie. I didnt realize that we only had five week and that this piece should be the best that we can do about what we learned this semester in film making. So a silly piece that may only get watched only by kids on youtube is what i decided not to do....of course i appreciate the fans!
So when thinking of a story i tried to this of a beginning middle and an end...something that happened to me...somethin not over too long of a duration of time...

Jon also gave me a good way to go about the movie... So what characters do i want...? What are they all about?? How do they go about it??

Then i thought of my own methodology along the lines of why is this important? and so what? (a little something fron Canfield)

My friend Matt and I were downtown at the Flying Saucer one night. We were just going out on a Friday or Saturday night...having a drink or two...playin pool. But it had also been long week with his girlfriend. Melissa is a friend of mine from highschool. Shes never been all that bright, kind of a silly girl. She also has the wrong mindset. When she drinks, the purpose is to get drunk, and if she doesnt remember last night, then it was a good one. Well were just pickin about it, talkin shit, playin pool and hes kinda glad to b e away from it. They had decided to do separate things. Well right when it was about time for something to happen, something happened... He gets a text message from her saying that shes been pulled over and kinda left us with that. So now were waiting for something, the mood has changed... She calls after a bit. Luckily she knew the cop, but shes too messed up and either we have to pick her up or shes spending the night in the drunk tank. So now were stuck with this dilema...we've been out drinking...now we have to be the responsible friends and drive to go get her, not only that, but i have to drive her car back for her.

This could go good or bad...it ended up we got an little insightful talk from the cop of course and we took her home. But then we went back out to drink some more.

But Jill suggested that i experiment with alternate endings. I could bring it to a point when the cop asks up a question and the answer could make or break the outcome of the night.

He could ask if were ok to go and there are a number of responses: "yep, thank you very much sir, sorry about everything"; which will set us home free, "ye-(a belch that kinda pauses you for a sec)-ssir"; which might catch his attention and it leads into almost gettin busted, "i hope so"; which would be just a dumb move, and just may get us all in trouble..., "well, were ok for now! hahaha"; which might even end up in him having a drink with us when we get off...

So the alternate ending sounded like a good idea and this sense of going out driving and bar hopping has a sense of normallcy to it until you get caught and your pulled out of your fun reality, but then we just jump right back into it...
