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.

The Case of the Black Pearl Ring: In the Kitchen
screenplay excerpt
Laveda D. Rockford
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.

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

A New Garden Feature | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  A New Garden Feature Labor Day: a day set aside for special recognition of the workingman, or in this case, woman. In other words, it is a day to reflect on all of the work a person puts into their vocation. Though I have the day off, I still had to mow the lawn around my flower garden. And since I purchased a new garden feature, I had to post this about it. Purity is an especially important word in the Christian faith. The words purity and purify can be used interchangeably. Purity: the quality or state of being pure Purify: to grow or become pure or clean To honor our journey through this thing we call life, here is the new art feature in my flower garden. Life is what you make of it. You can make something good out of it or you can continue on the path that you have laid for yourself. It is all up to you. But if you decide to follow Jesus Christ, and pick up your cross and follow Him, it is a whole other life that, in the end, is well worth it. I pray that your L...

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

Image
  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
