Reversal treatment

Dear sir/madam,
I am writing about my short film. The title for this short film is called "reversal." It's about a man called Adam who bullies his friend, Martin, so much that his friend gets so annoyed that he decides to stab Adam. That's when he learns that he can go back in time, which gives him another chance to correct his mistakes. In the end he decides to give a sincere apology in the hope of Martin forgiving him.

The props that I need is a knife, beer mats and glasses. The film begins with Martin slashing Adam. Then Adam is in his bed as if it was a dream. He then gets ready to go round Martins. When he is round Martins he has a conversation which Adam starts bullying Martin with the usual sarcastic comments. Martin then invites Adam upstairs for a drink. Adam does the usual mocking which makes Martin so angry that he stabs Adam. Adam Then wakes up in his bed the morning before. He then gets ready to go round Martins like the day before. This time when he is round he acts more nervous. He is then Invited upstairs for a drink but he is hesitant to go upstairs with him. Upstairs Adam makes another one of his comments which again pushes Martin over the edge which makes him stab Adam. Adam wakes up again to see the morning before. This time he is even more nervous. He still goes round Martin's house but does not make any comment when they have their conversation downstairs. He is still hesitant to go upstairs but is forced to. He doesn't make any of his normal comments until he is next to him. He lets a comment slip and Martin is about to stab him but Adam says wait and gives a sincere apology.

I don't need a budget for this film. The equipment I am using is the rode videomic, Canon 600D DSLR and Velbon DF-41 Tripod. I own all of this equipment and the accessories like batteries and SD cards. All of the props can be found on the location. The location will be Joseph Mander's house, who I know personally, so the location will be free of charge. As for transport I can get there by walking. The actors will not have to be paid because one is me and the other is a colleague who wouldn't charge

This film will consist of two actors. David Neale will be playing the role of Adam Spencer. Joseph Mander will be playing the role of Martin Childs. There are no extras need for this film.

I did the directing, producing, script writing, cinematography, sound and editing

If the client were to change his/her mind during production of the film then it wouldn't matter as there is no budget because I have everything needed to do this film. If the prices of equipment or materials changed then wouldn't matter because I have everything needed already. If the actor is ill or can't make it I can either shoot after that date or I could get another colleague to do it. If the equipment were to break on the shoot then I could borrow he same equipment from either South Essex College or from a colleague. If there was severe weather conditions It wouldn't affect the shoot because the film is set indoors. If the weaher causes too much noise then I can always use ADR too get better quality sound.

I looked at films that were similar to mine and I found a trailer for a film called "Triangle." It is set on a boat and they keep repeating the same thing. Which is similar to my film where he repeats his day. I also found a film called "Time crimes." This film is similar because they both go back in time in order to correct a mistake.
