Location Drama Project.

Currently our main project we are working on is a Drama (or documentary) Production to be shot on location, I am in a crew with fellow students Dan Ferguson, Jasmine Raine and Charles Keen. We are working on a short film currently named The Good Samaritan. It was Dan's original idea which was chosen by our tutors as one of the strongest idea's to go into production. Dan naturally wanted to write and direct, Jasmine was happy to produce, I said I'd like to work on camera and be editor, and Charles is in charge of sound and lighting.
So far we have our basic story and are still in the planning stage of production, we are still working at fully fleshing out the story and dates to begin shooting and what locations to shoot them at.
This is how the story is going to go:


A Guy (our main character) has just been let go from his job working at  a bank and is spending his final days with his job. One day, he is walking down a street when a man in front of him drops his wallet. Our guy notices this and runs to pick up the wallet and give it back to the man. When he starts shouting to the man, the man begins running away, our guy gives chase. the strange man runs around the corner and when our guy follows, the person is nowhere to be seen. Confused, he looks in the wallet for any clues to who or where this man might be, and inside he finds a note saying "Be at _______(undecided location, maybe a bar or warehouse) in 1 hour."
Our next scene begins at this location, where the guy is alone and confused about what's happening, as the place is eerily empty. he waits and after a short while a new person appears, gives him a phone, and leaves without saying a word. The phone rings so our guy answers, and has a short conversation, where he is invited to another location.
This is where he meets the person who was behind the scheme in person, and it is revealed that he has been watched through several photographs on the wall. He is then taken into a room where other people are sat waiting, our guy joins them, and the leader explains everything. The group are going to rob the bank that our guy works at, our guy was chosen because he worked there and will be able to get the team in an out. the film ends where our guy agrees to help out on this job out of revenge from his redundancy. 


Before we can shoot we need to decide and confirm our locations, finalise the script and storyboard, and find our actors..
