THREE-SHOT

George, Bart and Sam arrived at the top landing. George looked through the window into the corridor while Bart and Sam looked and listened for footsteps on the stairs. When nothing was heard or noticed, George contacted Cindy.

GEORGE:
“On the landing.”

CINDY:
“Good.”
answered Cindy then added,

CINDY:
“Steve, is Brad and Ben in place?”

STEVE:
“Affirmative.”

CINDY:
“It’s time to rock and roll. No more contact unless necessary.”

Brad picked up a tray, looked at the ticket and filled the tray with the plates of food listed on the ticket. He then walked to the swinging door and backed out into the banquet room carrying the tray.

TWO-SHOT/ CAMERA FOLLOWING

Wade opened the door quietly and started walking down the stairs with Cindy behind him. They descended into a supply room. They made their way through it and came to the entrance of the penthouse apartment. Wade looked back at Cindy waiting for her direction before opening the door. She nodded her head and Wade opened the door.

screenplay excerpt

They started to walk through the kitchen slowly while looking through an open area into what looked like a sitting room. Hearing a deep growl, they stopped short as they watched two large, powerful guard dogs coming around the other side of the kitchen. Cindy jumped onto the landing and Wade took off into the other room. This confused the dogs and being dogs, they were apparently more interested in chasing someone than sitting still. Both of the dogs took off after Wade.

CAMERA FOLLOWING WADE

Wade ran out of the kitchen into the sitting room and jumped with his right foot on the back of a large, overstuffed chair while the dogs jumped over the chair right behind him. He bounces off the wall with his left foot and did a backward summersault landing on his feet behind the dogs. He began running in the opposite direction while the dogs slid to a stop before slamming into the glass window. They continue chasing him through the apartment into the dining room.

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

  Thanksgiving Thought During Thanksgiving, most people gather to share stories of their year and greet each other with great esteem. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated around the world, I wanted to tell those of you who will be gathering with your families this Thanksgiving to please remember to say a prayer for those people who are having a very difficult time. Though we, as humans, sometimes think that our little part of the world is the most important, we have to realize that there are difficulties the world around. Many people do not have money to fill their tables with a bounty of food. Other people do not have the money to go and see their family. Thank goodness for the modern capabilities that computers give us. We can see our family on Thanksgiving Day if time allows.   Then there are those who have lost loved ones this year, or years before this and are having a difficult time adjusting to the news or accepting the challenge to continue to live. In honor of your loved

I Live For Freedom | Laveda D. Rockford

  I Live For Freedom As you know, I have been on vacation. It began on Monday morning in Missouri, and we arrived in Maryville, Tennessee that evening. The Lord graced us with beautiful sunshine every day that we were there. The first day we drove into the Great Smoky Mountains, around curves, up mountains, and into valleys all green and yellow that introduced the early autumn season. The beauty of it all gave me a piece of awe that you can only get when you know the love that was placed into such a sight as this. This is where my Cherokee ancestors lived. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. Between June 1838 through March 1839, approximately 16,000 Cherokee were removed from their tribal lands and relocated to Oklahoma. It is said that approximately 4,000 Cherokee died. My Great-Great Grandmother was six years old when she walked this trail. Her Mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was one of those 4
