Film Title Ideas

In order to complete my film review and film poster I needed to decide on a name for the film. I have been gathering thoughts about what the film should be called throughout the year.

 I have already crossed out a few, The Heist and The Expendables were already film names, and The Z Team felt like an outdated reference to the ATeam.


I next decided on crossing out a few more. I crossed out The Robbery as I felt it didn't really capture what the film is about. I crossed out Don't learn this in College as I thought that the title was too long and wasn't really catchy. I crossed out X's Game as I felt it was a bit too serious sounding and also sounded far to generic.


I next again narrowed down my choice. I removed The Worst Kind of Heist for being too long a title. I crossed out A Jewel of a Job as I just didn't like it. A league of their own and A Heist too far were not catchy or memorable enough so again I crossed it out. I also made a few adjustments to the other titles. The Disposables is now just Disposable, The underachievers is now just Underachievers.


Crossed out My kind of Heist, the title was ok but It wasn't as good as the others I thought.

In the end I decided on choosing the title 'Screwed' as I thought that not only is it memorable and catchy, but it also sums up Malcolm's situation.

Script Amendments

I decided on making some alterations to the script as I felt that some of the  dialogue was rushed and didn't flow as well as I would like.


Scene 4

Malcolm: So where are we now?

Alex: The lair of one of the worlds greatest hackers

Malcolm: Right we need one of those don't we

Alex: Yeah this guy apparently used to be part of that famous hacker group uhh the gecko team I think

Malcolm: Didn't they hack playstation that one time

(Mark Slides into shot on office chair)
Mark: Sony, Microsoft, Google and North Korea, Hi there I'm Mark

Alex: Right so we're...
(Cut off by Mark)

Mark: Your forming a team to steal the Jewel off Atem, your being blackmailed by a Mr.X and came here to request my help

Malcolm: How did you know that?

Mark: I have my sources, anyway my answers no, I have much better things to do

Alex: Now what if I had these
(Reveals small case)

Mark: D -Don't tell me thats....

Alex: Thats right, the limited edition platinum Wookie Mini-Figure

Mark: Fine I'll join you
(Alex Tosses case to Mark)

Mark: Tell me when you decide on your time and date, I'll be waiting

(Alex and Malcolm Exit)


Scene 5

Malcolm: Alright who are we looking for

Alex: Well theres suppose to be some assassin girl living around here, I heard she does local jobs so maybe we can just hire her?

Malcolm: And just how much is that going cost

Alex: Well I'm sure if we'll have enough between us

Malcolm: I hope your right
(Sees Alice walking into ally with man)

Alex: You don't think?

Malcolm: No couldn't be
(Hears girlish screams)

(Malcolm and Alex run into alley)

(Mans dead body lying in shadows of alley)

Malcolm: Well thats different

Alex: (Walking up to Alice) So you must be the assassin right we have a - (Cut off)
(Alice pins Alex to the ground, holds knife at throat)

Alice: Who are you and what do you want?

Malcolm: Woah woah, easy now, we just wanted to hire you for a job

Alice: Then why didn't you use the business address, Its on all my business cards

Malcolm: Wait you have business cards? Why would an assassin use those, isn't this an illegal business?

Alice: Yes

Malcolm: And your just letting everyone know your address?

Alice: Yes

Malcolm: Right, anyway were planning a hiest to steal the Jewel of Atem, would you be able to help

Alice: Yes

Malcolm: All right I'll leave you and my friend there to arrange the payments

Alex: Wait what?

(Malcolm Walks off)

Alex:(Looking Down) You Bastard...
