Story: Theme: Racing.
Brief of the story: There will be a chase between a racing car and fighter plane. The race will start
with showing the racing car on the free street in the mid night. The car starts accelerating to start the
race. The race starts when the traffic signal turns to green and then the car goes out of camera focus.
When the care is on high speed, suddenly the chasing fighter plane appears into the camera and the
camera view changes to bird eye view showing the running car. The plane overtakes the car as it
accelerates the speed. The car over takes the plane when it comes to its highest speed (show the
speed and acceleration meter) in camera. At last the fighter plane ejects a missile targeting to the car
(use bird eye view) and it hits back of the racing car (use outside view of the car), but the car could
manage to escape from the hit and reaches the finishing line (show the missile hit scene in slow
motion). The race ends with fire crackers in the sky for the winning car.
