Who is the group and Writing the Script

When creating the film noir opening, we got into a group of 4. Each of us have 1 specific role that we take responsibility for, though we all take part in decisions and ideas for every area. Chris:

Director and actor (the main character in our opening) - responsible for the entire film and to make sure everything runs smoothly and how we planned. Also the main cinematography person.
Emily: Art director - responsible for the mise-en-scene, gathering props and finding a suitable location.
Josh: Writer and producer (and back-up actor for the 'Shadow' character if no other actors can be found) - responsible for writing the script, producing call sheets and a production schedule.
Chloe: Editor and Sound: responsible for gathering suitable music and sound effects needed, editing the film and applying a certian editing style, and choosing appropriate titles.


My Task

After several production meetings in which we discussed and adapted our own ideas, we have finalised on an idea for the script. I then personally went away and formatted it into our final script.

The story consists of a man who discovers a large sum of money contained within a package in the middle of a forest. The package belonged to a dead man. When he brings the package home with him it is revealed in a series of flashbacks that it was placed there as a trap and that an unknown assailant has now caught up with him. The two meet in a violent confrontation with the audience not clear about who has won thus creating an enigma.
