Our own short film noir.

Buster Rayburn is in a prison cell. His voice over can be heard, 'here I am again, they said I wouldn't make it on the outside. If only I didn't meet that dame'

The gangsters girlfriend Lacey Lane appears. Buster cant't take his eyes off her.

Buster is back at the same bar drinking bourbon. Lacey Lane walks in and whispers seductively in his ear.

Buster and Lacey meet in his dingy hotel room. She thanks him and says that she'll run away with him that
night.

Lacey gives Buster a gun and a kiss.

Buster waits for Lacey at the railway station. The cops turn up and arrest him. Lacey can be seen in the background. She has obviously reported him to the police.

Buster quickly grabs a policeman's gun and after a struggle, manages to fire a shot which hits Lacey and she dies.

Back to Buster in jail. His voice over can be heard, 'you see, dames always bring a man down. She won't hurt anymore suckers now.'

Buster is drunk in a bar on his own and is greeted by a gangster who says that he has a job for him. Buster turns turns down the job.

Back to Buster in jail. Voice over, 'if only I walked away when I had the chance.'

Buster shoots the gangster as he leaves his house one morning.

In lesson we got in to a group of 4 and were given a sheet of sentences, each sentence was part of a film noir. Because the sentences were not in order, we had to place them in what we thought was right. Once we had put them in order of what we thought, we then how to take our own photos for each showing what was going on in the scene. The aim for this lesson was to understand typical narrative structure and if they fit with Todrov's narrative theory.

When putting the sentences together, it seemed to make sense and we thought it was right. But soon after while taking the photos we soon realised it didn't make that much sense. we realised this about six photos down, Buster the hero (Luke) had gone to jail and out again in different sections. We made it all to difficult to keep up with, the story we put together makes it seem like Buster is sitting in his cell and flash backing to his story, but at the end he's free.
