ShawShank Redemption Written and executed with exceptional skill, it possesses a power that allows viewers to effortlessly empathize with its characters. It is, perhaps, the metaphor of imprisonment that resonates within us the hardest. We all have things that hold us captive, whether physical, psychological, social, or economical. Shawshank is about hope. If Andy can escape and come out the other side free, so can we. Get busy living or get busy dying. InFrank Darabont, a twenty year old kid with zero experience as a filmmaker, wrote a letter to Stephen King, asking permission to adapt one of The Shawshank Redemption: the Shooting Script short stories, The Woman in the Room from Night Shiftinto a short film. Much to his surprise, he received a letter back from King with permission to adapt the work for just one dollar. According to King:. The Shawshank Redemption: the Shooting Script will grant any student filmmaker the right to make a movie out of any short story I have written not the novels, that would be ridiculousso long as the film rights are still mine to assign. I ask them to sign a paper promising that no resulting film will be exhibited commercially without approval, and that they send me a videotape of the finished work. For this one-time right I ask a dollar. It would take him three years, but Darabont managed to acquire enough money to finish the short. Bless their hearts, because the level of trust a filmmaker experiences there is almost unique in this business. Probably not so well. It would have been some crappy prison movie long forgotten by now. But I had Castle Rock, and they were just the best. Darabont knew what to leave in, what to leave out, what to add and what to alter. Andy was a World War II vet who wore gold-rimmed spectacles and was smart enough to sneak five hundred dollars cash in small bills up his ass into Shawshank how did you think he was able to buy all that stuff from Red. King lets us know on page one:. I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty, and I am one of the few people in our happy little family who is willing to own up to what he did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife, who was three years older than I was, and then I fixed the brakes of the Chevrolet coupe her father had given us as a wedding present. The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes at the edge of the town common, gathering speed. Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue and burst into flames. Audiences would have had The Shawshank Redemption: the Shooting Script hard time liking a character who committed such a crime. Sometimes less is more. Jake belonged to a fella by the name of Sherwood Bolton. Upon his release, Sherwood let Jake go, and a week later, Red found the bird dead in the exercise yard. Brooks never writes to the boys.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

Magda: Stanley Kubrick -- Auteur Stanley Kubrick – Auteur by Adriana Magda (Motion Picture Television 1113) tanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in history. Many important directors credit Kubrick as an important influence in their career and Sinspiration for their vision as filmmaker. Kubrick’s artistry and cinematographic achievements are undeniable, his body of work being a must watch for anybody who loves and is interested in the art of film. However what piqued my interest even more was finding out about his origins, as “Kubrick’s paternal grandmother had come from Romania and his paternal grandfather from the old Austro-Hungarian Empire” (Walker, Taylor, & Ruchti, 1999). Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26th 1928 in New York City to Jaques Kubrick, a doctor, and Sadie Kubrick. He grew up in the Bronx, New York, together with his younger sister, Barbara. Kubrick never did well in school, “seeking creative endeavors rather than to focus on his academic status” (Biography.com, 2014). While formal education didn’t seem to interest him, his two passions – chess and photography – were key in shaping the way his mind worked.

    “There are some true cinematic gems in the secret world of short form moviemaking. One of those gems is The Pond … A deep and heartwarming film, it achieves in 20 minutes what many films fail to do in two hours.” “Viewers are in for a treat … A powerful piece of filmmaking with soulful performances by Alicia Witt and David Morse.” SYNOPSIS A heartbroken young woman (Alicia Witt) sets about scattering her husband’s ashes on the pond in an apple orchard they had both loved. But the waters of the pond hold a secret, and when a stranger (David Morse) appears unexpectedly, the very fabric of reality is ripped apart and she must choose between sacrifice and oblivion. THE POND, an award-winning narrative short film, marks the directorial debut from writer Dan Hannon and stars Alicia Witt (NBC’s “Friday Night Lights,” THE UPSIDE OF ANGER, MR. HOLLAND’S OPUS), David Morse (HBO’s “Treme,” THE HURT LOCKER, THE GREEN MILE) and Todd Rotondi (HOWL). THE POND world premiered at the 2010 Palm Springs International ShortFest and has won the Directorial Discovery Grand Prize Award at the 2010 Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Best Dramatic Short Award at the 2010 New Hampshire Film Festival.

This seven week arts workshop gives the participants the screenwriter’s tools and weapons to research, develop and execute an original genre feature outline. We will explore how different horror auteurs deliver a unique vision from the same source material, as well as how this particular genre has transcended and influenced even the most “respected” mainstream directors. The sessions will not only cover the question of subverting narrative components and theme, but also creating “mood” and the “sense of the ominous”. Students will research and settle on an original horror source [literary, folkloric or real-life], and will be guided throughout the stages of creating their own unique mythology, as part of the fully- developed feature outline— which will then generate a short film script in proper industry- standard format. In-class screening excerpts will include Dracula [Todd Browning and F. F. Coppola], The Thing [John Carpenter], Ringu [Hideo Nakata], Get Out [Jordan Peele], Let The Right One In [Tomas Alfredson], Rosemary’s Baby [Roman Polanski], The Fly [David Cronenberg], American Psycho [Mary Harron], Ju-On [Takashi Shimizu], The Shining [Stanley Kubrick], The Autopsy of Jane Doe [André Øvredal].

    It started as a way to take my video store background, and create a SHAREABLE list of those go-to films that I recommend/would be happy to watch again (and again). now it’s well over one hundred. And I just thought of another a minute ago. They cover pretty much all genres. And hopefully vintages. Though it takes a while for something to become a classic. The categorizing symbols are something that I ‘borrowed’ from Neil French, and his: ‘cut! 100 greatest movie scenes’. But was granted permission. Thanks Neil. Though the icons are just rough guides. My opinions really. as Some of these films are too hard to pigeonhole. But they’re definitely worth watching. More than once. Enjoy.

Degree awarded June 2016 ii © 2016 Chelsea Nicole Oden iii THESIS ABSTRACT Chelsea Nicole Oden Master of Arts School of Music and Dance June 2016 Title: Reflection and Introspection in the Film Scores of Thomas Newman The most transformative moments in life cause us to look both backward (reflection) and inward (introspection). Likewise, reflective and introspective moments in film often align with important plot points. Separating music and dialogue from the rhythms of the image, these moments suspend time, creating a distinct temporality for the character(s) and the viewer to observe the past and the present in juxtaposition. The music of film composer Thomas Newman brings to life some of the most beautiful reflective and introspective moments in cinema. In this thesis, I approach Newman’s understudied, but highly successful film scores from narrative, musical, and audiovisual perspectives.
