Preliminary Sequence

19. Contingency plan

We have a back up plan for our movie “Malpractice”. We have considered different scenarios in which we will use our back up plan.

The first scenario is if we don’t get props at the time then our back up plan is to consider using substitute `props.

The second scenario is if someone didn’t make up to our shooting schedule. We would have to reschedule.

The third scenario is if we don’t have a location we were looking for. In this scenario we will consider to look on the second location we considered to shoot.

The fourth scenario is if we break the camera then we have to borough one from our colleagues.

14. Characters Descriptions

Yash Zaheer

Yash is a sixteen year old teenager who is studying A levels. He is an aggressive person with anger, he bullies fellow students for the fun of himself and his friends. He has never faced a tough time in his life. One of his victims was Anthony Walker, who is a year below Yash. Anthony couldn't face the bullying anymore and he took away his life- he left a note to his dad stating "Dad I Love You but i'm sorry i had to go". From here Yash's bad time started because Mr. Walker decided to take revenge on his son's killer.

Mr. Walker gave up his life to keep his son happy from his childhood and he felt that he is left out of the society.

Anthony Walker

Anthony was only fourteen years old when he took away his own life, he was the only beloved son of Mr. Walker. Anthony never got the chance to see his mother's love because she died during the birth of Anthony, therefore he only got love and passion from one side of the family. Anthony is a type of lad who doesn't get himself into trouble within school or out of school.
