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.

Rosemary's Baby (Opening Scene)




Rosemary's Baby
Roman Polanski's fiendish chiller stars Mia Farrow as the young mother-to-be who fears that the outwardly nice old folks in her apartment block have diabolical plans for her unborn child.
Hormones gone crazy or neighbours from Hell? Either way, she also starts to suspect that husband John Cassavetes has sympathy for the Devil too. As disturbing as The Exorcist, this is birth control in movie form.

Enemy Of The State (Opening Scene)




Enemy of the State
Lawyer Will Smith becomes a magnet for trouble when he stumbles across an assassination plot that could bring Washington to its knees.
Tony Scott's breathless conspiracy thriller keeps the twists and turns coming, with Jon Voight as the villain with friends in high places and Gene Hackman as a surveillance wizard who is Smith's only ally. Or is he? As slippery as a politician in a grease bucket.

No Country for Old Men (Opening Scene)



No Country For Old Men
The Coens most popular movie to date is a tale of theft, greed and a psychotic killer hellbent on retrieving a bag of cash. This Oscar winning tale also became box office gold for the Coen brothers. Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Kelly Macdonald and Woody Harrelson.
