Preparing to film

 Today, we came together to settle on dates we will film, the location, costumes, props, and actors. We also loosely worked on the script; that specific script is not set in stone, but it is a first draft of it. These are all the current decisions that we plan to execute. 

Actors: This film features Kamryn Phoneseuksam as the patient, Claire; Suri Nguyen as both the husband and the receptionist; and me as Dr. Elena. 

Costumes: I will wear a white lab coat with formal wear underneath as the doctor; Suri will wear formal clothing as the receptionist; and Kamryn will wear casual wear as the patient.

 Props: We will need to borrow the outfits from the school nurse. Hospital equipment from the school nurse, like a stethoscope, masks, a thermometer, and possibly a scalpel. Fake blood to use for injuries. Bedsheets and a metal table in a hospital room. 

 Locations: We will record at the school clinic. We will need to talk to a teacher to supervise us.

Scripts: 

Scene 2:

Doctor Elena: "Alright Claire, I will call you once I get your labs back. Have a good day"

Claire: "You too, bye." 

Scene 3: 

Doctor Elena: "Hello, am I speaking to Claire?

Claire: "Yes, this is Claire."

Doctor Elena: "Hi Claire, this is Dr. Elena, calling from the clinic. I'm calling you regarding the results that we received from your recent labs a few days ago. I'm afraid that we have found complications regarding your heart. 

Claire: "What is it?"

Doctor Elena: "On our charts, your blood has shown very elevated troponin. Have you felt any symptoms recently?"

Claire: "I haven't felt anything, what does that mean?"

Doctor Elena: "Feeling no symptoms while having high levels of troponin could indicate asymptomatic heart failure, early stages of heart failure. If possible, I would like to schedule an appointment with you at another clinic to talk about possible solutions, in 2 days at 6 pm. Are you able do that?"

Claire: "Yes, that would be fine."

Scene 4:

Receptionist: "Welcome miss, do you have an appointment here?"

Claire: "Yes, it's under Claire, for 6 pm."

Receptionist: "Alright, just sign your name on this check-in sheet and you may enter her office now."

Claire: "Thank you." 

Scene 5:

Doctor Elena: "Hi Claire, sorry for the short notice. I wanted to make sure you get treated as soon as possible."

Claire: No worries. What are my treatment options?"

Doctor Elena: A safe and efficient option that I would highly recommend is a CABG surgery, which can help improve your cardiac functions. May I proceed with it?"

Claire: Yes. When can I start?

Doctor Elena: "Now."

Claire: "Wha-" 

Film equipment: 

Personal phone cameras will be used to film most of the movie's opening. Microphones may be borrowed from a production company.
