This was our first project and had difficulties with the task but we put a lot of effort in it so that we could come up with a great work. We had to deal with the difficulties of the knowledge behind it because we hadn't learnt about it yet. Luckily our experiences with television helped us to solve this problem. The basic story was about a fight on a bus and protesters on the street.
The scenario we made up from this key points:
The scenario: Public bus + BKV ticket conductor + passenger stopped (some politician) then bus stopped due to this ticket violation, police arrives at the scene of commotion. Later on people start marching with banners because the politician who created the law/passed the bill for the law about ticket price hikes and violation fees/consequences; himself is caught violating the law.
