Actors- We have not yet decided who will play each role for our film, but we have a general idea. We all plan to be in the film opening. Costumes- The person robbing the bank will wear all black and a black mask. The people working the bank will wear a business type outfit. Props- We will not need many props, maybe some fake money and maybe a fake gun. Location-  We will try to use Saoirse's dad's bank to fake rob one day that it isn't open. We will also go to an airport to film the robbers trying to flee the country. Dates and Times- We will most likely be filming February 8th some time in the morning. Scripts-  We don't plan on writing any scripts. We will just talk about the main idea we will cover in each scene and go from there. Film Equipment- Saoirse has a camera that we will use for filming.

We took a whole period deciding what each scene of our film opening would be. We worked well together drawing and writing out the storyboard, and we are excited to start filming and editing our film.

It starts off with Indiana Jones in the cave trying to capture the arc. He sees a pressure plate and presses it with a stick, so that he doesn't get shot by the arrow. He the approaches the arc and attempts to to replace it with a bag of sand in hopes of not setting of the trap that is most likely set under the arc. He fails and the trap is set off so him and his partner start running back through the cave trying not to get hit by the arrows firing out of the wall. His partners made it over the hole in the ground and convinces Indiana Jones to give him the arc and runs away with it. He then finds him dead around th...
