Changing Ideas

I have decided not to go forward with the documentary idea I originally had, this is because I have quite a creative mind and I feel as if I would be able to do a lot better with a fictional text. I have chosen the crime drama/thriller genre because I am a fan of many texts that fit into this genre and I feel you can do a lot with the codes and conventions that the genre consists of. I also feel as if I will enjoy making a fictional piece of work more as I enjoy screenwriting.

Seven - Textual analysis

I watched an 8 minute clip from the film multiple times and analysed different aspects of the construction of the scenes such as the mise-en-scene, the lighting, the camera, and most importantly for this particular film, the characters. This is because the characters in this scene are very similar to the characters I would like to construct in my coursework At this point in the movie, in the beginning of act three, after the previous story twists, our expectations of what is to come are already well set up. But here John Doe is very confident and repeatedly emphasizes the impact of his coming act. This raises even more the audience expectation and triggers an almost unbearable curiosity for the climax.
