  At the beginning of the scene, we will show our title in Arial font because it's bold and stands out easil y to entice the viewer .   Our title as of now is PRO T E CT THE PRESIDENT. We might change it in the editing process, but it fits the theme of the film, and we made it in all caps to pop out more and make it seem like a serious situation.   We're going to start the scene with the title on the screen for about 3 seconds then it will immediately fade away to a high-action scene to create a sense of urgency , which is why the title is in caps.

Props:    We have a lot of props in idea to use. We are planning to use toy guns as props. We also plan to use many items like plastic knifes , walkie talkies, and badges to make are actors look like special agents.

We will use long sleeve and sweatpants to make it fit in with the idea of a special agent team. We also have ski masks to cover the faces to make things even more realistic. We plan to have the president in a suit with some form of indication that its the president.    Schedule:   As of now we plan to film over the period of spring break 5/17-5/26.
