Narrative Structure: Our thriller should sort of follow Todorov's theory as their is suggestion of an equilibrium and disequilibrium in the opening of the the thriller. If the film was to be made fully it would follow have a circular narrative, returning to the opening sequence at the end to explain the situation.
Character Background:
Femme Fatale: been a victim of violent physical abuse as a child (from her father) Then got in with bad crowds to breakaway from her childhood and family - her lover is bad?
Lover: involved in dodgy dealings with money etc
Killer: femme fatales lover owes the man something? did something to him? - all involving money and social status (mafia type?)
Intertextual References:
Tiffany Lamp, pearl necklace, femme fatale character, trilby hats, long coats, killing in the bed- all references from Once Upon a Time in America.
Killer in the shadows with his face not visible, wet cobbled streets- references from The Third Man.
Birds, Black dress (like the black underwear) showing that the femme fatale is bad/ devious- references from Psycho.
A good start on listing how your group will utilise aspects of the thriller genre. Now you need to outline the narrative for the opening sequence.
ReplyDeleteHelpful planning but obviously incomplete. You need to clearly explain how your film utilises Todorov's theory.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the murder is also not clear. You mention that the lover is involved in "Mafia" type dealings, but what exactly are these in a provincial English city like Norwich??? How much do you personally know about such dealings? Try to focus on a crime you would understand, for example petty theft, credit card fraud, or is the lover motivated by jealousy.
You must give your characters names and profile them clearly.
You must get story boards etc onto your blog as soon as possible as we are presently assessing Year 12 coursework.
All aspects of planning, including story boards must be posted onto your blog as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteAs advised over a month ago all your planning must be on your blog within the next 6 days. To include story boards. Otherwise your will lose marks.
