Ok, I broke this down a little more than we discussed in class. I think that we need to elaborate on the middle. More importantly the ending still needs something, not sure what. Hopefully this is a good start for writing the script.
See you guys Friday@335. Please try to have each scene developed as much as you can and some ideas of back stories on husband and noisy protester(he/she needs a name)
Here are some scenes from two movies that go along with the aesthetic we want with our film. The tone and execution of the film will have little to no dialogue/actions through body language and camera angles. Wide angles will be used to emphasize the main characters loneliness. The appearance/aesthetic of the film will be real, down-to-earth, not a lot of make up or harsh lighting.
American Beauty
