Mini task - "A Day in the Life of..."

To get us ready to do the main task, our teacher has assigned a mini video project entitled "A Day in the Life of..." I have already created a screenplay for this and shall post it below:


A Day in the Life of a Ninja!


(blank screen cut to ninja jumping on screen)


Ninja: Hoi-yah! Bet you didn't expect that did you? Anyway, let us proceed to a day in the life of me, a Ninja! (punches to camera and title appears on screen)

Ninja: A ninja starts their day off with a healthy breakfast


(ninja drinks some form of unhealthy drink)

After this they must do a work out to enhance their inner strength. I always start my day by doing the following, one armed push-ups.


(raises hand above head)


Breaking wood


(snaps twig)


and the ultimate challenge...breaking a rock with ones head!


(breaks rock with head)

Ninja: (turns to person off screen) So we'll just edit that part won't we...okay. Great stuff.


A ninja must also practice their skills to the fullest throughout their day. The first skill a ninja should have is the element of surprise.


(ninja scares little girl but then gets scared by her)


They should also possess the skill to disappear and seemingly teleport out of harms way.


(clips showing ninja going under table and coming out the other side)

Finally, they must be able to run at lightening speed to avoid being captured.

(montage of clips of ninja running that will be sped up during post-production. Either have a voiceover/Benny Hill song in the background)

Ninja: It's hard being a ninja but doing these things on a daily basis helps me to be the best. With my ninja skills , none of my mortal enemies can defeat me.

(Pirate barges in. The next conversation is out of synch with the clip to give it an old ninja movie look. Ninja turns around in shock)

What are you doing here?

Pirate: It is time us to settle once and for all which one of us is best!

Ninja: Fine. Prepare for some serious ass whooping!

Pirate: ARGG! We'll see about that matey!

Ninja: OK

(no more out of synch talking. Montage of fight including a slow motion kick and a slow motion sword whip. Ninja wins)

Ninja: Hoi-yah! Take that!

(shows Pirate dead on the floor)

I am the greatest! Nothing can stop me! Nothing!

Viking: Wanna bet?

(Ninja turns around nervously to see Viking at the door with a weapon of some form. Viking then charges at Ninja and kills him. He picks up his weapon, holds it to his face and growls at the camera. This cues the credits to start)

I was thinking for the credits, we could show clips of the person and have their name and character on screen.

I say we because Corinne Allen is going to work with me on this project and has already given me some great ideas on the film.
