Script 1
Scene 1:
Texting
Courtney: “Hey, how are things
going”.
Genie: “Not good. We’re probably
going to get a divorce”.
Courtney: “Ugh, why do you think
your going to get a divorce?”
Genie: He asked for one.
Courtney: “What?!!! Out of
nowhere.
Genie: We got into a stupid
argument last night. Like we always do! I said I want us to go to marriage counseling.
And he said no, you need to get a job. I said how will me getting a job help
our marriage. He said so you can support yourself after the divorce”.
Courtney: “OMG. That’s bullshit,

cleans, and does her wifey obligations.”
Genie. “Yeah I know, I need a
drink”.
Courtney: “We should go to
hacienda tonight for $2.50 margaritas! Can you go, I’ll pick you up?”
Genie: “We should, I could really
use one. I have to put the boys down for bed, can we go at 8pm?
Courtney: “That’s fine, see you
then”.
Beat 1: Courtney pulls into
Genie’s driveway. Genie gets in the car.
Courtney: “Hey girl, haven’t seen
you in forever!”
Genie: “Yes, it’s been way too
long!”
Courtney: “So, what’s going on?”As
she drives away from the house towards the restaurant.
Genie looks at Courtney with tears
in her eyes.
Genie: “I don’t know what to do,
Tony wants a divorce. I cried all night last night after he said that to
me.
Courtney: “I can’t believe he said
that to you. You don’t deserve to be treated like that, how dare he. Well, you
know I’m here for you”.
Genie: Thanks Court, now let’s go
inside and get a margarita.
Beat 2: They sit down in a booth
on the bar side, the waitress greets them and gets their order.
Waitress: “Here’s your margaritas
ladies, enjoy!”
Courtney: “This is so good”. She
takes a big gulp. “Oh no, brain freeze”.
Genie: “Try this, put your tongue
to the roof of your mouth, it will stop your brain freeze”.
Courtney: “What, no way! Ok I’ll
try it”. As they sit there laughing about how ridiculous she looks doing this.
Courtney: “How does that margarita
taste? Does it feel good to get out of the house?”
Genie: “It’s amazing, I’m going to
have to have another”, as she giggles. “It feels so nice to get out of the
house and get to spend time with you, much needed girl time”.

your tongue on the roof of your mouth, it stops the brain freeze? ”
Guest 1: “Are you serious?”
Waitress: “True story, try it”.
Courtney and Genie look at each
other with surprised faces.
Courtney: “OMG you just said that,
hahaha”.

she must have over heard me telling you”.
Beat 4: They leave the restaurant
and return back to Genies.
Genie: “I don’t want to go in”.
Courtney: “You will be fine, you
got this girl. You have to stay strong for you and your children. You know I’m
always here for you, anything you need.”

a lot to me. I love hanging out with you, I can be myself and relax for once.
Have a good night and I’ll text you later, bye”.
Courtney: “Bye girl, love ya. Have
a good night”.
Each beat represents a change in the script as well as the characters too.

Documentary Treatment
Documentary Treatment
Cassie Tengelitsch
Title: Pet Refuge of South Bend
Taglines: My bowl is empty can you help?
Adopt a forever friend.
Documentary Style: Realist
Location:
4626 Burnett Drive, South Bend 46614
Roles:
Director: Cassie Tengelitsch
Director of Photography: Kayla Noble
Editor: Kaylee Ford
___________________________________________________________________
Subject:
The Pet Refuge is a non-profit organization, also known for a
“No-kill” animal shelter. The shelter was established in April 1978 and is lead
by volunteers for the residency of abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs to find
reliable stable homes. They rely strictly on material and monetary donations from
people of our community.
Visual Concept:
The video will be providing the audience of a short realist
documentary about the Pet Refuge, approximately 4-6 minutes long. This story
will be done with the use of natural lighting to ensure a realistic feel. In
this documentary we will be showcasing clips of the cats and dogs, as they
appear joyful and adoptable. There will also be a walking tour of the facility,
as well as a conducted interview with the head leader Pam. We may also provide a clip of the open
adoption events that are held every Wednesday and Thursday night along with the
adoption process. At the end of the video there will be credits assigned and
any other additional information.
We are currently still in the process of scheduling a
shooting day with the head leader Pam.
________________________________________________________________________
Outline Script:
[Scene 1]
The beginning of the film will start out with a happy
tune/song containing short still clips and or images of friendly cats and dogs
currently living at the Pet Refuge. These short clips and or images will be
inviting, capturing close-up moments in time of these lovable adorable pets
playing, eating, and relaxing. Within these alternating clips and images will
be smooth transitions from one another.
[Scene 2]
There will be a short clip of one or more of the volunteers
standing outside in front of the building proudly saying/yelling, “Welcome to
the Pet Refuge, where new beginnings have happy endings”.
[Scene 3]
A tour of the facility as you enter the entrance, in which
this may be followed by a volunteer or interviewee (head leader). This will
consist of the main office, cat room, dog room, and any other rooms that are
used on a daily basis.
[Scene 4]
A closer look into the history behind the Pet Refuge. This
will entail an off-camera with only interviewer on-camera (Pam the head leader
of organization). All questions for the interviewee are edited out of the
finished film, only answers are retained. This interview will be conducted in a
small white room to help eliminate background noise with possible backdrop and
microphone for Pam. The goal here is to make the interviewer as comfortable as
possible. By doing this I may have her sitting in a chair or sitting on a
blanket on the floor holding an adoptable cat in her lap. If this causes any
distractions we will have to remove the animal from the interview.
Questions:
What is your name?
What is your current position within Pet Refuge?
What is the Pet Refuge?
What is the history behind the Pet Refuge? When and whom?
What are some things this facility has to offer or provide?
What makes this facility so great?
How can the people in our community help the Pet Refuge?
How can the community get involved?
What are your hours of operation?
Do you provide open adoptions?
Are the animals up to date on vaccination?
Are you associated with any other animal clinics?
Last but not least who is the furry friendly friend your
holding in your lap?
Is there anything else you would like to tell the viewers?
[Scene 5]
This will consist of an open adoption event held on
Wednesday evening from 6pm-8pm, as there will be two cameras from opposite
sides of the rooms filming the inter-action of potential candidates for
adoption. The same tune/song as introduced in the beginning of the film will be
the background noise for this scene.
[Scene 6]
The song continues, as this will be the end of our
documentary. Here is when credits will be presented and any other additional
information such as sponsors, donation details, adoption application, and link
for the Pet Refuge.

Documentary Subject
Documentary Subject: Tyler
This is my son, Tyler who continues to grow into a human being everyday. He is currently 2 years old and will be turning 3 in May, 2016. His interests are painting, playing with toys such as Thomas the Train and Hot wheels, watching Disney movies, singing and interacting with letters and numbers. I could use my son as a documentary subject focusing on child development of a toddler. Not only for his development skills but also to tap into the brain of a rapid growing toddler of how they socially interact, verbals skills, and how their mind works. It would be interesting to actually see through video the different emotions and reactions that toddlers face everyday and what triggers certain behavior. Also to compare results with other toddlers his age too, would be another intriguing aspect of child development.
Ten questions I would ask my son during an interview, which in this case would be more of an interaction process would be the following:
1. Do you know which letter this is? (Holding up flash cards or foam letters)
2. Do you know what number this is? (Same as above)
3. Can you say your ABC's?
4. Can you count to the number ten?
5. Can you tell me about your day today?
6. Who am I?
7. What is your name?
8. Which animals are these? (as we look through his discover animal books)
9. Can you tell me what color this is? (looking through color book)
10. Do you know what this object is? (holding up flash cards)
These are all simple questions that can be used from an educational view point and his child development according to his age to see where he falls in that category but also to capture the thought process of a toddler.

Music Poster: On Tour
Our poster represents our song by providing the audience a sense of loneness and isolation. The inside of the barn looking out into the field in the background represents those feelings. By desaturation of color and hue of browns, reds and blacks, darkening the brightness and increasing the contrast gives the image a warn, vintage, country appearance. I photoshopped some major props that will be represented in our music video, such as the cowgirl boots, cowgirl hat, and the dried out weary flowers. The cowgirl boots and hat signifies the female country singer that will be the main character of the video. Where as the flowers represent a loss of love or heart break. I didn't show too much of the outside (field) I still wanted to represent it by having the window in the background containing cool colors of blues and greens as we will do some shooting outside, majority will be inside the barn. I added a wooden sign with text hanging on the barrel to represent the bands name as well as the song title on the window with big dark red stencil like typeface, which gives it more of a country feel.
Editor Notes: As for the editing we will be focusing on deep saturated colors such as browns, reds, and blacks; cool colors such as blues and greens to portray loneness, sadness and isolation. The video will have a slow rhythm to it as it follows the slow acoustic song. There will be some direct cuts but also some fading and dissolving transitions as well. I plan to add a title at the beginning in the bottom left hand corner fading into the next scene. But also at the end of the video I will also add title as well as the crew members names and roles.
