Suffolk Murder



This is the first verison of my short film. this is different to my first idea becasue it challenges the anrrative of a murder mystery short film. Usually silent films are set in the 1920's as this is the time when short moveis were the most popular type of movei until the speaking movies came into play in the early 1930's.
I have also changed the narrative of a normal murder mystery as we the audience find out who the killer is early on in the film. When normally you would have to try and guess the motive of the killer and what exactly his intentions are and why they want to kill. This film is more of an murder mystery but to the characters only. I wanted to change the codes and conventions to make it suit a teenage audience and a teenage audience don't want to have to think and put pieces together but are highly influential when it comes to seeing people with alcohol. If i then considered the fact of drinking and turning it into something teenagers could relate to which is 'What do you remember whilst intoxicated' , 'Can you trust your drinking partners' and 'Are you old enough to drink'. These questions then contribute to the point of my story - 'Don't drink excessively' I am not trying to say that all teenagers will commit a crime and murder but those who are classed as 'violent drunks' could harm someone they care about without meaning to cause them harm.
