This is the screenplay, it was a collaborative group effort. Changes were made according to the resources we had
The cross cut kept but instead we had other characters + extra do the trading because we felt turning the angle would feel to slow
Scene 1: Principal + Cross cut
Camera slow dollies through hole of chair with principal on right side and ppt on the board
(clock ticking)
*Camera medium close up to principals face
PRINCIPAL
There are far too many drugs at school!
*Extreme close up to principal’s eyes
PRINCIPAL (angry)
we need to find out
*Camera POV slowly dollies to a turn at back of the school
(tense escalating cliche sound effect starts)
*Extreme close up to principals lips
PRINCIPAL (beyond mad)
WHO IS SELLING THE DRUGS?!
*cut to POV Camera reveals Man in black hoodie with sunglasses
BOBBY HASSAN
(Smiles ominously)
(Opens left half of jacket to reveal weed and poses with other hand)
Scene 2: Car Scene
Drone shot from above follows jimny into school.
*POV of escobar
OM DIMAS
Ok lets go
*Dashcam view
Esocbar gets off car
*Medium shot from behind car
Escobar goes to the back of car to open the boot
*Shoulder shot
Looking at a bag of WEED
*Shot from the pov of weed
JR and MT appears beside Escobar and all three look at each other
*Different close up shots of drugs being sold
We decided song should start after because it was too distracting and didn't mesh well. We ended up using this principal speech(outvoted)
Alternative Principal Speech
-Song intro-
*Close up of PA mic with white background
*Digetic feedback
*Cut to close up of speaker in canteen
PRINCIPAL
[Clears throat]
*This speech is to go over the drug trades
PRINCIPAL (angry)
Listen up maggots. It has come to my attention that a certain contraband has found its way into the local schools. It would appear that a new Hip way for consuming narcotics has been created. Now, whether you snort it, smoke it or cook it in your little sister’s easy bake oven makes no difference. Drugs are drugs, and rules are rules.
While I dont believe that these “brownies” have infested our school yet, if i find any student with so much as a crumb of these “brownies” on your collar you’ll wish you had never been born. And if I find out who is responsible…
(pause/sigh)
This ended up being used for the cross cut during principal's speechDRUG TRADE 1
*Camera pans down from somewhere between ceiling to headheight in the canteen to reveal 3 students in a midshot
students look up at the speaker
2 students move out from behind the

`
