Fargo film analyse.

Fargo script
Watch the sequence one, noting on the script the way scene description is portrayed in the scene.
Are they the same as the script?

No! There are not.
In the first sequence, the information from the script is not what we see in the film. In this case there’s missing scene according to the script.
Any changes?
Yes! On the second scene is where the script matches with the film.
Does the script portray what you expect to see in the film
The script portrays what we expect to see. Because it is arranged in a manner that you will clearly understand what is going on for example, all events are written in the left side, along with the characters. The description of the characters, the mood, the location and the surroundings.

The second part

The names of the characters;
1. Jerry

3. Grimsrum

Description:
Jerry- Weak, nervous, confused, suspicious and naive (Antagonist)

Whats thriller?



What’s thriller?

Thriller as a genre simply creates suspense and tension that makes the audience hold on at the edge while highly anticipated. In most cases a thriller has a base that builds step by step to scare the audience. this happens when the main character is in a danger state, or trying to escape from the mystery that he end up being a victim of circumstances, at certain point the character manages to escape through much struggle he/she may indulge into fighting using different types of weapon e.g. Guns, knifes.e.t.c.and also for her/him to win he has to have some tactics to tackle the enemy. He might also end up losing where by the other character might have more power that might lead him being defeated. The out comes between the two is always death. The thriller climaxes when the resolution is bought about, at that point the innocent or the genuine character is always seen on the safe side and fairly judged. Thriller
As a genre has got sub genre as I mention a few.
Drama thriller:
the story consists of the elements of a thriller and drama film. The films are usually slower paced and involves character development along with plot twists.
Disaster thriller
The main conflict is due to some sort of natural or artificial disaster, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc.
Horror thriller
conflict between the main characters that turns them into physical,
mental, and emotional.
