The Dangers of Chance

my 1 minute movie for uni.

I reaaaally should have reshot some stuff to make it better, but didn't have time etc.
So, I know some parts don't make sense. As such, here's the plot progression if you need it to help it make sense!

-different people use a coin to decide something: whether she will sell the violin, whether he will buy it, and whether the last person will answer the call.

-more intense coin flipping and jazz.

-the results are tails, heads, tails. Yes this is relevant. Tails = bad result, heads = good result.

-as such, she must sell the violin, he will buy it, and he will answer the call (it's bad news, hence the sad face.)

-the events are all linked by the same coin. The violin seller gives the coin to the busker, the busker drops the coin (this bit isn't clear, I know, sorry!) and the phone call guy picks it up.

-The guy on the other side of the phone call is shown. He is depressed and has a gun (also not clear enough I think, sorry!)

-His friend shows up, and convinces him to flip the coin to decide if he'll end his life or not.

-the coin falls over the edge of the building.

-it lands tails up.

-this is bad. It would have meant that it would tell him to go through with it.

-the coin fell in about the same place it started, if you didn't notice. Then someone else comes along and picks it up.

-THE CYCLE CONTINUES!

I'll do 2 different extended versions. The full version of the simultaneous way, and the chronological way it was meant to be, for fun etc.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Life is subjective. I know this. Therefore some people will be like "but if he lives and is depressed then that would be a WORSE result than him not doing it!" and if the busker sucks at violin then it wouldn't be a good result! Maybe her selling the violin is good coz they need food! ETC ETC.
Basically, 1. it was ONE MINUTE LONG. I can't fit much else in to counteract this (as in busker acing violin and making lots of money, etc). 2. I decided what was good and bad, so yeah)
