Log Line: Two boys crave animal crackers from a vending machine that has one left.
Treatment: Boy#1 is sitting in class and we hear his stomach growl. He spots the teacher eating animal crackers and immediately craves some.
Same situation with another boy#2 who is also craving animal crackers.
We cut back to the vending machine that has only one last bag of animal crackers.
They both end up staring at each other and then looking at the snack.
The first boy looks anxiously at the clock.
Now the other boy looks at his cell phone watch. As soon as the bell rings they both make a run for the animal crackers. The second boy, coming from the same class, tries racing him there and after a few cuts between them the first boy wins.
They both take different directions there hoping for reaching there first.
This boy who is very excited pulls out a crisp dollar puts it in with a big smile on his face. The other boy is shown behind him angry. Then he presses A1 but machine doesn't work. His smile fades away as the boy sees (POV) a "Broken Machine" sign. The second boy laughs.

Intercutting Treatment- Revised
Logline: A man is about to hit a boy at a grocery store parking lot as the man parks next to his car.
Treatment: The scene begins with a boy in a car entering the grocery store parking lot. When he parks, he hears a cool song on the radio. He begins to dance and sing in the car. As he gets out of the car, a man nearly bumps into him.
The man’s keys fall out of his pocket. The boy sees the keys drop without the man noticing that it fell.
The man grabs a shopping cart and goes into the grocery store to begin his shopping. At the same time the boys look at each other and smile. Then he gets out of the car take the keys and take the man's car for a spin.
The man gets some chips, cereal, soda, cheese, etc. Meanwhile, the boys exit the parking lot and they go onto the main road. He turns on the radio while driving along the main road.
He then sees a McDonald's. He really wants to go there, but then he knows that he has to take back the car in time. Hesitantly, he goes to McDonald's and he eats there. When he parks in the McDonalds parking lot, he almost hits a pole and at the same time the man almost hits the aisle at the grocery store.
While he's eating, the man at the grocery store is now looking at fruits; he's taking a long time choosing his fruits, because he can't find the right one. He then sees apples; slowly he begins to put apples into a bag to weigh. But then he doesn’t know where to weigh his apples. He asks an employee and then he tells where it is.
When he's done eating, he goes back in the car and on the main road. While he continues driving again, he begins to start pressing buttons in the car. He looks through the dashboard and he sees the registration and his glasses. He puts on the glasses and imitates the man who he bumped into.
The man then has finished getting all his grocery; when he goes to pay, the price for the apples are wrong; it's supposed to be $0.99 per lb, but it shows as $1.99 per lb. So then the cashier calls someone and then they go check the price. The cashier then changes the price.
The boy then looks at the time and he notices he's been in the car for almost 45 minutes, so he turns back towards the grocery store. He then enters the parking lot of the grocery store and they park it. He sees the man exiting the grocery store. The boy rapidly go back in his car and exit the parking lot. Then as he exits the parking lot, he can’t find his wallet.
After the man is done loading his grocery, he goes into the car and then sees a wallet in the driver's seat, and just as he's about to open the wallet, the scene ends.

Intercutting Treatment- 1st Draft
For this project on intercuttting, this will be about a person walking down the stairs and his keys fall down to the bottom of the stairwell. There's a person at the bottom, and he doesnt realize that someone has dropped it; he takes it and begins to walk away. He then tries to try the keys on the classroom doors. The person then walks down the stairs and doesnt see the man, but in the english building, he gets into a classroom and begins to steal the teachers stuff. Then the person who lost the keys goes and looks for the person who took they keys. And then finally he finds him in one of the english classrooms and fights for his key. The film ends with him with his key in his hand smiling.
Artist Statement
I use film by showing my style of how a film piece should go together. I show my style by the different camera angles and the way I edit my own films. Film allows me to explore different areas of film, such as the history, different genres, and the creation of short films. My goal is to get alot of experience with camera work and editing, so I can create a short film or video clip efficiently without any problems. In my camera work, I always try to show different creative angles, and not just a lame waist shot; I put my creativity in the camera work that I do.
I began film in 2006, in which I joined the Media Ministry at Church of the Highlands. There I volunteer as a cameraman and sometimes a director. I have gained alot of experience with editing softwares. Since the camera work is more complex, because of the church setting, I've also developed my camera skills in plays, church services and other special occassions. I've also developed my skills as a director using Video Toaster; I've learned many techniques in directing as well as knowing what shot to have for different events. I began directing in December 2008. At church is where I apply all of my skills in film.
