Neveah and Natalie are walking around their childhood neighborhood and updating each other on their lives 

    

                         Natalie 

              Neveah, I can’t believe you’re back in the 

                Braxton after 10 years, it feels like forever  

                 since I saw you! 

 
 
 

                         Nevaeh 

                 Yeah, the last time we saw each other we were  

              kids, it's refreshing to be back here again though. 

 
 
 

                         Natalie 

               I’m so excited that you’re back I have so much 

              to show you, Braxton isn’t the same like when 

          we were kids. Oh my gosh! Do you remember   

            Valley Mall where we would always get lost? 

 
 

   

                         Neveah 

                Oh yeah! I remember that place, you were always  

                the first one to cry too (laughs) 

 
 
 

Nevaeh and Natalie slowly approach Natalie’s house laughing together. 

 
 

                        Natalie 

              Hey, look, I left my phone inside, I’m going to  

               run in and get it, and then we can hit the road. 

               I miss us! 

    

                         Neveah  

                Okay! 

Natalie dashes into the house and dashes back out the door  

                        Natalie 

                Got it! Let's go.

INT. VALLEY MALL - June 25, 2018 - DAY 

Nevaeh and Natalie are walking through the mall, and Natalie is waving around and pointing out all the new additions to the mall to Neveah in excitement 

 
 

                       Natalie 

                 Neveah look! There’s the new graphic tees place,  

                 around the corner, is the massive food court 

 
 

                       Neveah 

                 Wow! Since when did they have a game shop?! 

                     

                       Natalie 

                I told you that everything changed!(laughs) 

Speaking of which, give me a life update  

                girlie. I saw your post on insta and looks like        

                you have someone your really interested in  

                       

                       Neveah 

Yeah um no we’re not together anymore. 

 
 

                       Natalie 

               What, Why?! You guys looked so cute and happy   

               together 

 

  Neveah 

He cheated on me. Even though i thought we were  

               going great everything seemed perfect and then   

               on our date i saw him-  

 
 

                       Natalie 

                YO! Is that Julie?! I’ll be right back Neveah,    

                I’m going to say hi to Julie real quick 

                       

                       Neveah 

                      Uh-okay 

        

In the middle of the conversation Natalie spots Julie walking into a clothing store and ran up to her in excitement.          

                        

                       Julie 

                 Hey Natalie! What are you doing here?   

                

                       Natalie 

                 Oh, you know just shopping around, and then I  

                 saw you, Oh My Gosh, this shirt looks so cute,       

                 you should definitely try it on! 

 
 

Natalie and Julie walked into the store and began shopping and trying on clothes together and Neveah was left waiting for Natalie’s return 

                

                       Neveah  

Oh wow !! 

(Time laps ensues showing Neveah sitting alone at a table)

                    Completely in the wrong, but I was too  

                    Stubborn to see it that way.

EXT. THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD - JUNE 26, 2018 - DAY 

 
 

Natalie and Neveah are back at the old neighborhood and arguing about what had happened at Valley Mall. 

     

                      Natalie  

                    Hey. 

 
 

                      Neveah 

                    Hey. 

     

                      Natalie 

                    So I feel like you overreacted about the     

                    whole situation at the mall. 

 
 

                      Neveah 

                    What are you talking about?  

                    You left me for hours when we were supposed  

                    to be spending time together, I didn't even  

                    say anything about it.  

 
 

                     Natalie 

                   Really? Because I felt like the sarcasm    

                   wasn’t needed. Julie and I was only gone  

                   for a few and, so what if we got a little   

                   carried away, I told you I’ll be back and I  

                   did come back. 

 
 

                     Neveah 

                   After three hours (mumbling)  

 
 

              Natalie 

                   You want to be like that ok (storms off)  

 
 

                    Neveah  

                  Your being dramatic! 

 
 

                   Natalie 

                  NO I’M NOT! (yells from afar)

EXT. THE BENCH - PRESENT - DAY 

 
 

                

                   Natalie 

                She just seemed so uptight, She needed to        

                loosen up a little, it was starting to not be  

                fun anymore, all we did was fight and everytime  

                I was the bad guy! 

   

                 Ever since we were kids that has always been   

                 the issue, she always played victim.

EXT. THE THERAPIST - PRESENT - DAY  

 
 

It is revealed that Natalie is speaking to her therapist at the park(at the bench) about a past traumatic event that took place with her  childhood friend, Neveah. 

 
 

                          Natalie 

                       Sometimes I think that if I haven’t been   

                       so angry and selfish all the time this   

                       could of been prevented in some way. I  

                      could of handled this better but I didn’t 

 
 

                        Therapist 

                      Don’t blame yourself. It’s not something   

                      that was completely in your control. Sure  

                      that conversation could of differently   

                      but this is the outcome and sometimes all  

                      we can do is accept, move on, and do   

                      better. 

 
 

                        Natalie 

                      I know…but right now I miss her

      In the short film it addresses the issue of selfishness and taking someone for granted. In the beginning of the film, it starts out as a moment of rekindling of friendship between the two characters, where they highlight each other on significant moments in their life separate life and the one they both shared before. By this the audience gets a grasp of the two personalities of the characters and as the film develops and the scene changes the audience also gets to grasp the unfavorable traits of each character. For example, in the film, the first encounter of the issue was the character going inside the house to get changed, and the other waiting outside for a long period of time, which showed how one character was acting selfish in regard to other character waiting outside. In the progression of the film, we see that this behavior continues but it gets continuously worse overtime, and eventually both characters engage in an active and direct argument over the issu...

Comparing Le Je Tee, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full-length movie

  Video:  What is your takeaway from the video? 12 Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film that tells the story of a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out most of humanity. The film explores themes of determinism, the potential consequences of time travel, and the importance of human connection. One of the key takeaways from the film is the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. The film also suggests that the future's not set in stone and that it can be changed through the choices we make in the present. Additionally, 12 Monkeys highlights the value of human relationships and the power of love to overcome even the most dire of circumstances. What good information did you gather while watching it? While watching the video I recognized clamps such as zoom ins to a medium close up when the woman is being shown in 12 monkeys. And how the shots of the people were taken closed up to c...

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f...
