3. Production Outcome

  • Film Title: Citizen Pane
  • Synopsis: Every episode has one dialogue with two characters in one place. Two men share pro tips on how to boss around their staff. A cat casts a puzzled look at a couple in the process of breaking up and preparing to live apart. Father ‘Seung-gil’ is worried about his soon-to-be-born grandkid’s birthplace in front of his pregnant daughter. A PR team ‘Nam-hee’ and ‘Deok-yoon’ tries to write a sincere apology statement responding to some complaints about a copy of new product. While ‘Joon’ in his twenties wants to give ‘Lamlam’ an unforgettable memory of proposal, which ends up with an unexpected reaction. A team member Ms.Jeong is reluctant to eat the leftover brought by her boss who tries to show his good faith for his new-year resolution’s sake. Pay attention to the 6 dialogues for beginners who should still learn(?) a lot from the realities of how we rule out underdogs not only reasonably but smoothly.
