Use of Non-Real Time (Group Discussion 2)

During our second discussion as a group we decided to use the effect of "non- real time". 

When we all met we listed films that helped inspire us with our opening title sequence, but only one stood out, the hit film "Memento" which starred Guy Pierce. The film revolves around the main character who is suffering from amnesia after his wife was killed during a robbery in their own home. He then sets out to find her killer and bring him to justice with only his polaroid camera to help him indentify situations he has just occured, he also tattoos important messages onto his body.
   What inspired us was the use of time in the movie, the events aren't told in chrnological order and this fractures the narrative and allows the audience to think about the movie in more detail.

The kind of Non-real time we will use is we will show the events as they happened at the end of the OTS and speed it up so the whole sequence is reversed.

Storyboard

These are images from the early storyboard, it shows the femme fatale lying dead and the villains photographing evidence she is dead, then they meet up and are confronted by the anti-hero.

Assigned Tasks

Below are the tasks each of us in the group have been assigned.

Me: 

The Director, Co-editor, Head of Props, Camera operator, Storyboard creator, Advertisements and Actor.

Daniel:

Daniel is the Director, Co-editor, Head of sound and music, Camera operator, Set designer, Writer and Actor.

 Lucy:

Lucy is the Head of editing, Camera operator, Costume designer Locations expert and Actress.

As people can see it lists us all as actors/actresses we were advised that we shouldn't do this but we felt as a group we should do this as we know exactly what we what in the OTS. 

Locations We Will Shoot.

This is where we are going to film Lucy lying dead under the light of the lamp post, we hope this will create the effect of the film being based in an urban setting.

Group Discussion 1

 This Post is to show who i have chosen to work with in the making of a typical noir film OTS and who they are playing/ the characters were inspired by.







Daniel Osborne- will play Leon, the henchman of the main villain Christopher. In comparison to our character we believe he is most similar to "Stu" in the first Scram movie.

 My character's name is Christopher and he is the main villain, we found that he compares to "Billy" in the first Scream movie as the two characters both have similar motives and are driven in the same behaviour.



Lucy Easton- will play a femme fatale named "Scarlet" she helps the two villains by luring their victims to them, she does this as she is being blackmailed by Christopher but she is a dangerous girl. Lucy's character compares to "Rita" from Mulholland Drive.


Ethan Rundle- will play Jonathan a young and troubled journalist who stumbles upon a scandal at his local college. Ethan's character compares to "Eddie" from Red Riding 1974 as they are both journalists who stumble upon big stories by mistake.




This is a picture of some notes me and Daniel wrote during our first group discussion, we had filmed the meeting but after we filmed we found out there was a problem with the tape.
