Group Work

I quite like the way Sin City and Pulp Fiction use two stories, with the first story wrapping around the second.

Example of Sin City, Josh Hartnett’s character killing a woman on a balcony, and the film finishes with Josh Hartnett (even though he hasn’t been seen since the first scene and his story has nothing to do with the main story) again, with him offering a cigarette to a girl, which implies he has been sent to murder her too.

We as a group would like to use this style.

The Date

Interlace *** with credits

***
Trevor is driving up to Ashley’s house (Infection by RX bandits on stereo). The first date is always nervy. This time he spared no expense,
all of the money he had earned that month was going on the date, but that was not much, a waiters job does
not really pay, especially for a 16 year old.
Walking along the garden path towards the door, all he could think about is how beautiful she was.

Turns off stereo

(Thought bubble above character with girls image)

He walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Took a deep breath and clutching the flowers he had brought her,
tightly in his hand. The door opens.

(Front view of Trevor, glow on face. Then cuts to a fat man standing in the door).

The boy smiles at the miserable fat man and his daughter squeezes in-between then both. The boy grins and gives
the girl the flowers. The girl looks unimpressed and walks down the path.

Fade to shot of crowd focused on a gorgeous girl (Lesley) coming up on the opposite escalator (on way up from subway) towards Chris. (song changes to Here we Go Again by OKGO) Cut to shot of intense lustful look as Chris and Lesley pass At the bottom of the escalator he finds Lesley’s Security pass for Metro Airport. Cut to Chris on subway, Lesley in thought bubble. cut to Chris at work on phone, "we need you here for a meeting plan". Chris books flight out of Metro airport because he remembers Lesley works there. Chris in metro Airport sees Lesley.. cut to Rangerover driving through glass wall, terrorist gets out with C4 strapped to him. He pushes button but nothing happens, he looks confused. Chris then punches him. cut to Chris and Lesley kissing.
