The Coalition

Following the events of the last couple of months, to ease my stress and make me laugh nearly everyone i know has called me Scarface, this is an obvious nickname due to the laceration on my face. i am going to use this constrictive behaviour from my peers and use it to create ideas to push our film forward. When making a film, or any kind of art, you use your life experience and social surroundings subconsciously and portray it through your work. Brian De Palma's Scarface is a film which I am more than familiar with, growing up watching this with my family, because it is one of my Fathers favourite films of all time, i feel privileged to use this childhood memory in my A2 work. By studying the first scene of the film, I believe that we could create a scene, by using it as a flash back, or introduction to our film. By placing me in an interview situation, with questions being thrown at me, will give a bit more background into the character and why she has killed her lover, and why she has a terrible scar on her face. By placing a scene in a section of the school, which i had seen in a previous production from former Westminster city school students, I'm going to take their initial ideas and create a scene suitable for our short film, i also feel that by using work from people i know who were also educated in our school by the same teachers, will show views how talented our students and teachers are.
