Blank screen ONLT SOUND IS CLOCK TICKING
Typewriter font- California 1995 1:00AM


Marcia is sat at his desk 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.
Marcia has bag 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.
He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground. He stands breathing heavily before running a hand through his hair and falling to the ground to clear up the mess.
He picks up a few documents before a magazine (!!! This magazine MUST have the picture actually leaked but with everything covered by a black bar) with leaked nude photos of them at the beach.
He stands inspecting the magazine running a hand through his hair and a look of sad curiosity while inspecting the magazine cover
(if possible will cut to footage of Marcia crying in court or news coverage of when it came out)
His look turns to a frustrated anger and he chuck the magazine into the overflowing bin which is overflowing with cigarettes and a bottle of vodka.
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 while standing and opening the file which is full of reports about the finding of the glove.
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. He goes behind the desk and produces a half empty bottle of vodka from and glass, while poring a glass he says in a passive aggressive tone
"If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit"
2.
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 amongst the papers and documents. He sorts through them putting some in the bin and some on the desk when he comes across a documents that looks much different to the rest.
A sombre yet frustrated expression crosses his face as he opens it. It is a document containing divorce and custody documents. He looks at a picture on his desk of him, his ex-wife and the 2 children.
He stands and picks up the picture looking at it with a fondness
FLASHBACK:                                                  
Distorted pov shot- his wife and him watching the kids playing. There's an awkwardness between the two when the children are out of sight she scoots across the bench and gives him a dirty look. He runs his hands through his hair
Back in the office
He runs a hand through his hair similarly before placing the picture back on the desk facing downward.
He sits in his chair with the glass of vodka in hand. He picks up a remote and turns the tv on. It is a evening talk show gossip channel that has female guests and host. They turn to the subject of the OJ trial and then onto Marcia's appearance.
They first talk about her hair and make crude comparisons to sheep and just mocking her overall appearance (there will be mocking photos of her on the screen). They then begin discussing her choice of a shorter skirt(change to shorts in this context) at OJ's house tour. Her leaked photos are once again brought up but the tone of their discussion is criticising and sexualising "Marcia" for the choice
They begin talking about Johnny cocrin and the comparison of how they're talking about them shows the hypocrisy and makes "Marcia" mad so he turns the tv off angrily.

not sure how to finish?

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 ...
