 INT. JONATHAN HOUSE - NIGHT A stormy night. Lightning flashes, revealing an old Victorian house perched on a hill. The wind howls through the trees. INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Jaida (late 20s, adventurous) and Mercedes (early 30s, pragmatic) huddle together, laughing and sipping wine. The atmosphere is warm, yet the flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows. JAIDA This place is amazing, Merce. You sure your cousin won't mind us crashing here? MERCEDES (chuckles) Nah, she's in Europe. The house is ours for the weekend. Suddenly, the power goes out. The room plunges into darkness. JAIDA Great, just what we need. They light candles, their faces tense with uncertainty. A KNOCK on the door startles them. MERCEDES Who could that be in the middle of nowhere? Jaida cautiously approaches the door, opens it slightly. Adarius (40s, ominous) stands there, rain-soaked and uninvited. ADAIRUS (sly smile) Hello, ladies. Mind if I come in? JAIDA (uneasy) Who are you? ADAIRUS Call me Adarius. I

 Hi Blog! So we’re in the process of planning for our movie’s opening sequence. We have a few ideas so far! So for our movie’s location, we may film at Jaida’s house or somewhere in public, or both. Since it’s a thriller, we think it’d be good to use multiple locations. If anything our back up plan will be only Jaida’s house.  For safety, we’ll have a first aid kit and act responsibly. There will also be adults present in the house while we’re filming just in case. The participants will be Adarius, Jaida, and Mercedes (aka all of the members in our group). The schedule for now is to record for only one day unless we need to  revise and retake any clips.  We’re most likely going to work on a Friday or weekend. We’re all still trying to figure out what’s best for each other’s schedules as we all have work and lives outside of school. We’re all very excited to start this process. We just need to iron out a few details about planning, because of course things can change but our movie being
