This film is about a female gigolo.(She has relations with women for money) Another (male) Gigolo who does not care about love, falls in love with a woman who is actually a female gigolo(the main character), however she does not love him.
Coincidentally they get called by the same woman one night and when they encounter each other a fight breaks out and he tries making her fall in love with him with force. He does not succeed in the end at capturing her heart, but instead is united with his real true love, the woman who called the female gigolo in the first place. The message of this film is that you can't make someone love, and simultaneously that love conquers all.
Characters
Female Gigolo - Stoic, sexy, mysterious. Flirts but does not want to start a relationship with Male Gigolo.
Male Gigolo - Cocky, afraid of commitment, explosive. Anger management issues. Is determined to snag the Female Gigolo.
Woman Caller - Woman sees the situation between the leads and attempts to intervene.
Most of the structure of this film will be a long fantastical chase sequence. This part of the film will be more action than romance. The dialogue here will be sparse but meaningful.
Assignment Write-Up
This last assignment (the spies) was quite stressful time wise. I'm sure if we had more time it would have been even more epic but I don't feel bad about showing the work we have done. It was really hard to get the footage we did get, it's troubling to see everyone just shrug at it sometimes. It was fun as well, thinking back on it, but money-wise and time-wise this was an expensive film even though we shot and edited in just one week. I don't think I will be doing that again either, shooting and editing should be more spaced out. I also thought at times just like Jill did, and felt like we were just a bunch of kids that got a hold of a camera and started dancing or something- however, I don't know if that's a bad thing. We did learn a lot, afterall.

No Death, No guns, No roses Pitch
No Death, No guns, No roses Pitch
Synopsis: A ghost wanders the halls of MCA, it is unknown to the other students, faculty, and staff that said ghost actually goes to MCA.

-Antagonist tries to capture boy with techniques of "the ghostbusters". It fails
- Priest is brought in to exorcise the demon, and splashes holy water on him

How To Get the Girl Edit II from Kaitlyn Chandler on Vimeo.
Feedback to be considered:
-Making the plot more condensed
-Having some survivors get transformed into zombies
-Specify the setting and time
-Heroine gets eaten at the end
Here are some more details about the film:
It's going to be during dusk and night. I am considering both indoor and outdoor. (Not one or the other, both within the same movie) I will be condensing the movie slightly the plot will now be as follows:
Woman is walking through the park while eating an icy desert
-
Woman steps on dead body and drops icy desert
-
Woman shreeks and looks around frantically
-
Men are playing ultimate frizbee
-
A boy is walking his dog.
-
People are eating a picnic
-
Jogger is running and zombie is following (careful & comical timing)
-
Woman screams hysterically
-
Woman is joined by another woman survivor running towards building.
-
Woman trips on step, other woman catches her and romantic sparks fly momentarily.
-
Women are locked out of building and jump cut is placed with them on top of stairs to them stepping down on 2nd floor balcony
-
Dance breakdown (climax)
-
Women reawaken after solo dance sequences to zombies attempting to devour them back in the front of the building.
-
Women are saved by survivor opening door to building. Women lock man out of building, he is devoured.
Here's some of "An American in Paris" with commentary by the creators and actors:

Me and Krickett have decided to collaborate and will be fusing our ideas and stories.
