My look

I chose a t-shirt and jeans so that I could achieve an 'everyman' look.  It really is just something you can pull out of your closet however dressing up slightly could also help my brand.

The following is a script also written for What Rubs Me Wrong for the marketing Department.  This is not shot yet.

Int. Hein - Noon

The student body is at Hein eating lunch.  The clinking of silverware and students talking can be heard in the background.

The camera pans to the right and zooms in on Matt.

MATT, an average looking college student, is eating at Hein listening to his (MP3 Player.)  He finishes his food, wipes his face, and gets up to go browse the buffet.

Matt then walks out of the main dining area and in to the main lobby.

Matt, still listening to his (MP3 Player), approaches the automated doors but they do not open.  Matt stumbles back in confusion.  Matt attempts again to walk through the doors with no success.

He then walks to the manual doors and attempts to push on the door.  The door does not open.

Matt fools with the automatic doors' lock.

Matt then tries to pry open the automatic doors with his hands.  No luck.

He then aggressively uses his shoulder, knees, and face to press on the door.

Matt gives up and walks away from the doors exhausted from the effort exerted.

A couple approaches the automatic doors and walks through them with ease.

Matt stands there in dumbfounded confusion.  He then 'sneaks up' on the manual door and tries to scare it.  This places him in position to see the bulletin board stating "PLEASE BUS YOUR TABLES, DON'T RATTLE MY CAGE!" hanging there.

Matt smirks and walks back into the cafeteria.

Matt is seen picking up his plates at the table he was sitting at.

Matt is seen placing his dishes on the dish rack.  He then walks to the automatic doors and they open as they should.

Matt exits Hein completely, the doors close behind him and Ms. Kim's voice can faintly be heard in the back ground.

Ms. Kim

Thank you, Hun!

END OF SHORT

The following is a very rough draft of a comedic story that I want to script to show the Student Body the complicated process of filling out an event form for TLU.

Host:  First it begins when you plan with your organization the date hopefully a month in advance and immediately after you do an event form.  However only officers can fill out event forms.  Here's the problem with event forms.  You have to give them a long list of information before you can get the event approved.  And if your event has alcohol in it, you need to hire a vendor that can cost anywhere from $900-$1500 dollars without purchase of any alcoholic beverages.  You will need to know your information about your vendors insurance policy (Go through the event form and find all the stuff that could be trimmed.)  Now, once you've completed the event form you will need to give a day for processing meanwhile you will be making posters (Picture of host drawing a poster) and attempting to advertise for your event.

INT. ASC - Night

Host tries to hang a poster for his event.  (Poster is significantly better than the one he was drawing) Guy approaches.

"Hey.  You gotta stamp on that?"

"A what?"

"Every advertisement has to be approved by Student Activities then the heads of the various buildings via stamp."

"Oh...  I'll go get a stamp."

"All of those people have gone home.  They get off at 5.  Duh"

"You mean... When I get out of class everyday?"

"Well, what would happen if you were hanging something obscene?"

Host looks at poster then back at guy.

"I still wouldn't ask for permission..."

Host is a bit distraught.

"But!  Once you've hopefully gotten all of your posters hung, you can begin discussions of allocations at SGA's bi weekly mee..."

Guy appears with computer on the Event Form.  Hands computer back to guy.

"This location isn't right.  Denied"

"Well after another day of proces-"

Guy pops in shot and hands guy computer.

"After ano-"

Guy pops back hands computer back.

"We've scheduled something that day you need to speak to your organization and change it.  Denied.  Also change your signs, you can't advertise that date."

Host rips paper off wall.

"After another day of processing

you can begin discussions of how much money you would like allocated from SGA whom has meetings on Tuesdays at 7 p.m., a reasonable time for students to meet.

"Dude, they don't meet this week for allocations.  Bi weekly."

"After you've met with SG-"

Guy comes back on with computer.  Host loses it with:

"OH, WHAT THE HELL?!"

Guy runs off.

Then once you've completed the event form, advertised to the student body, obtained allocations, and purchased your supplies; you can then enjoy your event.

Pan out.  No one is at the event.  Guy shows up.

"Where is everyone?"

"I forgot to change the date on my posters.  They showed up yesterday.  Easiest way to piss off the student body is to not fulfill your promises."

"Dang.  How much was this?"

"A lot."

"Oh."  Pause.  "Got any wine?"

Host just looks at Guy.

"Hey, why not just plan all your events at the beginning of the year?  Then do all the paper work as you go?  When has anything planned been fun?"

Now, maybe an organization, together, could fulfill all of these while at the same time trying to maintain their jobs and grades as we all do on top of their organizational responsibilities.  But what about the individual student just trying to host something for everybody.

This is a script I wrote for a series of short films called What Rubs Me Wrong, a segment of a the larger Bulldog's Live sponsored for by the TLU Marketing Department.  The link below will take you to the final edited edition of the script below.  I wrote, shot, and edited the final cut of this episode.

Title of Episode:  Turn down for What?

EXT. James' Apartment Door - Night

Establishing shot

Camera zooms in on James' door.

Music can be heard coming from James' apartment.

Cut To:

Int. James' Apartment Bedroom - Night

JAMES is working on homework while listening to his stereo very loudly.

Cut To:

Int. Next door College Dorm - Night

SARAH is laying in her bed trying to go to sleep.  AMANDA, Sarah's roommate, is sitting in her bed while reading a book.  James' music can be heard as it vibrates the entire room.  Sarah looks over at Amanda.

Sarah

You have to go over there.

AMANDA

What?  Why me?

SARAH

He's on your side of the room.

Amanda skeptically looks at Sarah.

Sarah (Cont.)

And I cleaned the bathroom last.

AMANDA

Using a cup of water to get all the hair down the drain does not count as 'cleaning.'

Amanda returns to her book.  Song ends.  Pause.  Then a louder more horrid song begins.

SARAH

Fine!  I'll go!

As Sarah is heard exiting the apartment, Amanda can be seen talking to herself:

AMANDA

Procrastinate long enough and the problem will resolve itself.

Amanda turns a page.

Cut To:

EXT. JAMES' APARTMENT - Night

Sarah walks over to James' Apartment.  She has a fist ready to 'let loose' on the door but she stops.  Sarah turns her fist and knocks politely, begrudgingly holding back her anger.

Cut To:

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT BEDROOM - NIGHT

James continues to listen to his music unknown to Sarah's knocking.

Cut To:

EXT. JAMES' APARTMENT - NIGHT

Sarah turns her knocking into a pound.

SARAH

Hey!

The music continues to play.  Sarah then bangs on the door with both of her hands.

SARAH

HEY!  Open up!

Cut To:

Int. James' Apartment - Night

James still listens to his music and remains unmoved by Sarah's efforts.

Cut To:

EXT. JAMES' APARTMENT - NIGHT

Sarah's hair and clothing is in disarray from her exhausted efforts.

Sarah then takes a step back from the door as she looks to check if no one is around.

Sarah then bears down and from the bottom of her diaphragm comes a loud and long scream.  Unfortunately, Sarah's scream comes at this same time that James' song ended.

Cut To:

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT - NIGHT

James jumps up in reaction to the scream and he quickly pauses his (MP3 Player) just as the next song begins.  James gets up and goes to answer the door.

Cut To:

EXT. JAMES' APARTMENT - NIGHT

James opens the door.

James

Can I help you?

SARAH

Your music is really rubbing me the wrong way.

James

Oh, yeah.  Sure.  Coulda just knocked you know...

James quickly closes the door.  Sarah turns around and walks toward her apartment.

Sarah enters her apartment, then her bedroom to find Amanda still reading her book.

Suddenly the TV can be heard from the other room instead of music.  With Amanda watching, Sarah calmly pauses, then picks up a tennis racket and once again exits the apartment.  Amanda stares for a moment, then returns to her book for a moment.  Then:

AMANDA

Sarah, Wait!  I'll go this time!

Amanda jumps out of her bed and chases after Sarah.
