Project 1 Postmortem
When I first sat down to brainstorm what my topic was, my ideas we all over the
place. I grew up a being a huge fan of movies and how they are made, so I had come up
with all different kinds of movie plots since I was a kid. But after watching the Reservoir
Dogs excerpt in class I thought a little more about what I could do with a Quentin
Tarantino movie. I’ve been huge Tarantino fan ever since I saw Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2
with my dad. He then showed me Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown. I was
hooked. Something about his style just made his movies so interesting. I know a lot of
people might be turned off by the amount of dialogue that he has in his movies. But I
think they really do help with the story. I do have to say though, I was disappointed when
I saw Deathproof, that one just didn’t go well with me. But I was a fan of Inglorious
Basterds, even though the ending threw me off guard at first. I thought maybe I can tie
something together, like two guys want to be hit men just like Jules and Vincent. So I
started running with that idea. My first idea was two guys that weren’t tied to a crime
family, they just got hired by one. Then I thought that two guys that were actually a part
of a crime family have a better shot at being hired to take on a hit. So I juggled my story
around a bit. Also when I was finishing up the treatment, I just couldn’t nail the ending. I
had Jerry shooting Guy in the head, but I had different scenarios in my mind. So I went
down the hall to my floor mate’s room. And he’s a good person when it comes to movie
stories, so I figured I’d ask his opinion. After a few minutes of deliberating I came up
with the ending I have now, and I really liked how it turned out. As far as the script went
I really liked it. I wish I could’ve gone on more and I had to cut out some things in order
to keep it with the assignment. I think I’ll definitely come back to it and keep going with
it. Being my first script, I really liked how it turned out.
