Codes and Conventions

Codes+and+Conventions

Titling

In deciding our film name we aimed to highlight the tragedy, rawness and sheer grotesque of our kidnapper. The most importance of our name 'The Cut', revolves around the ongoing trials and tribulations of which our protagonist will face whilst upon her quest to find and save her best friend. Relating to the common saying 'will you make the cut'.

There is also a hidden connotation and ongoing theme surrounding food, "We've got your friend.....How do you want him?" Signifies the twisted psychological traits and aspects of the kidnapper, but also makes the victim feel like a materialistic "piece of meat", as it was.

Narrative Theory Research

Narative Theory Final

Script Change Reasoning

In the first script which was written, our group came to an agreed conclusion that there was too much dialogue in it. We decided on the addition of much more description in the ‘(Changed)’ 2nd script, and in doing so we ultimately revolved it more around our initial synopsis. This decision was made in order to incorporate obvious traditional psychological thriller themes and elements, but to also clearly set the tone of our film to the reader or audience.
