Cinematic and narrative ideas

Cinematic ideas
Something very important I would like to incorporate in my film is the use of actual footage from the trial and the media at the time- as I feel it would make people who experienced the OJ trial to reminisce on the trial, the media’s treatment of Marcia Clarke and their own treatment of her. As at the time there were very mixed opinions on the prosecutor. Something else I feel is very important for me to incorporate is having it all set in one location and only having “Marcia” in the film as it is all reflecting their experiences. I intend for the muse en scene to be very dark and grey as I feel they reflect feeing lifeless and trying to not stand out which is arguabley how she felt at the time, with all the media attention bartering her and criticing her for being a woman and trying to not stand out for her gender and be seen as equal in the courtroom

Narrative ideas

When it comes to the narrative I want to keep the time and date of the film ambiguous in terms of when the trial it is set(although it will be later in the trial as all the events had taken place) and this is so the focus isn’t taken from the point of the film- showing how awfully Marcia was treated as a woman. I also don’t want any other characters involved in the actual scene, however I also like the idea of having someone playing Chris Darden as a woman as it is a gender bend on what happened. I would like to keep it solely Marcia as she is the focus of what I am trying to say about the portrayal of women in power.

Typewriter font- California 1995 1:00AM on a black screen. Fades out to a BLANK SCREEN ONLY SOUND IS CLOCK TICKING "MARCIA" A curly haired man with an athletic build in a scruffy suit with the top buttons undone and a faint stain on his white sirt. Is sat at his incredibly messy desk with piles of papers and empty fast food containers smoking a cigarette surrounded by papers and documents the office is dark and messy. The walls are grey and the overall feel of the room is very drab and depressing, which the fmily photos upon the desk juxtapose. Marcia has heavy bags under his eyes and messy hair sticking up everywhere. He leans back in his chair sighing, he quickly becomes frustrated with the thought of the trial and it's fustrations which we see through his body language and facial expresions being very slouched over and having little expression in his face. He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground in a fit of fustration. He stands breathing heavily looking...

Directors infulence essay

The most important influence on a film can be described as the Auter, which is usually discussed in relation to the director but could also be anyone who takes creative control of a project. For example, the film Blade runner the auter can be described as Ridley Scott The director or even some of the actors, like the actor who played Batty. He could be described as an auter because his final monologue he wrote himself, therefore making him, arguably, an auter of Blade Runner. The director is the most important part of the film in regards to how its shot and the plot, but not always the finished product. Studios tend to mess with films and the directors vision for finished product is not always brought to light and the studio can mess with films so much post and during production that its far from the directors original vision. Blade Runner and The Lady from Shanghai are two excellent examples of this. Both films the directors were restricted artistically and budget wise. Warner ...

   He Rubs his hands together and returns to the task. After sifting through some papers and files he picks up a file marked 'glove' he shakes his head and lets out an exasberated sigh before standing and opening the file which is full of reports about the finding of the glove and why it may have been viable evidence.  He flicks through various photos and When he turns to the image of the glove we are met with a montage of the glove being presented in court and OJ trying it on in court Back in his office he scoffs while closing the file and throwing the file onto the desk with litte care. He goes behind the desk and produces a half empty bottle of vodka which he's clealy been making his way through and a glass, while poring the glass he says in a passive aggressive tone with a humourless laaugh, "If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit" He fills the glass and drinks it in one go, he makes a grimace and pours another glass he takes a small swig before sitting ...
