We got given the task to make a 5 minute film noir. After deciding our group, we then had to make a decision on the plot, characters, and name of the film. Acting the parts ourselves seemed the safest option for our group as it would mean less hassle finding times where we would all be available to film with our actors. We then had a clear idea that our film needed to consist of 3 main characters in order for us to have equal acting and filming parts within the filming process. Having more than 3 characters could have made the story line too complex for the viewer as we would have to multi role as actors.
CHARACTERS
Clark McCaine (Journalist) played by James Bell
Martha McCaine (Clark's wife) played by Jessica Bond
Nancy Hartley (Celebrity) Played by Bethany Robson
PLOT
- Clark is a journalist who owns his own newspaper company but his business is failing due to lack of stories and headlines leading the potential closure of this company. After bumping into Nancy Hartley at a movie premiere he plans to have an affair with her, exploiting her mystery affair through his newspaper, hopefully bringing him back to business.
- Martha, Clark’s wife, finds out his plan after finding a draft of the newspaper story. She then follows Clark to Nancy's house to see if what she has read is true. Once Clark has left Nancy’s house she posts the newspaper draft through Nancy's door, but leaves it anonymous so Nancy remains unaware who sent her this draft.
- Nancy see's this draft and panics that it will ruin her career so after finding Clarks home address at his office a few days after receiving the draft she heads to Martha's house to tell her before anyone else does. The two women talking and plot revenge on Clark. They both set out to Clark’s office with guns to kill Clark.
- Clark turns round in his office chair to see both women standing at his door. He rummaged around in his door for his gun knowing he was in trouble. He turns and shoots aiming for Nancy but hits Martha.
- Martha plays dead and Nancy shoots Clark. Nancy thinks she has got away with killing them both. As she smugly walks out of the office Martha stands up and shoots Nancy
