After all the planning about the idea set was done all we had to do was to complete a storyboard and to create a script. However I started to do a stage direction planning fast while I had my ideas, with the shots I wanted to be taken in certain takes and positions of the characters. 

The Old Stage Directions:
The boss is already waiting for the client in the room, checking the time at her watch. We are filming the client walking in with a match on action. The room is very dark but there are some spotlights lighting onto the client after he sits down and some faded lights on the boss so is hard to see him, because he wants to be mysterious. Lights go brighter at the client when he starts talking after he listened to the boss directions. There will be shot reverse shot when the two are talking at the end the light brightens at the boss revelling who she is. The boss walks off when finished; the camera focuses on the heels and zooms out.

The New Stage Directions:
Filming the client before entering the room with a 180 degree turn so we show his character to the audients, when entering the room there will be match on action of him opening the door. On the other side of the door, there will be the bodyguards waiting for him.
The boss is already waiting for him because he is late. While he enters the room the bodyguard take him away and checks him for any weapons that could frighten the boss’s life. The camera will be positioned in front of the boss while the client shows affection to her and she pushes him on the chair that was ready for him. They exchange some lines there will be shot reverse shot and also a high angle shot showing both of them arguing.  He becomes rude to the boss one of the bodyguards comes and makes him aware of the danger that awaits him if he don’t stop. When he walks off the boss will threat him of his family if he doesn’t complete his mission, there will be an over the shoulder shot showing him walking away and than a long shot of the boss throwing herself into the chair feeling annoyed, watching him walk out of the room; here the over the shoulder shot will change to a long shot of the boss seeing the position and body language she has and the facial emotions, as being the boss they can’t take over her.
