The document summarizes research the author conducted for a film project about a professional football player being released from their team. Some key findings from the research include that 130 formerly professional players are now in jail, most under age 25 for drug offenses. Additionally, the author found examples of players who were released at a young age but still had successful careers, such as Joey Barton and Demba Ba. The author also analyzed the opening scenes of films with similar themes to their project to get ideas for constructing their own opening scene. They felt they planned their project well but time management was occasionally challenging due to rescheduling and actors having other commitments during shoots.
