Stripes
Hybrid film
Introduced to protagonist (white origin) and his kettle, as
if he is waiting for something, door buzzes, kettle buzzing leads up to what
happens, kettle is the antagonist (bubbling, heated building up until it
finally blows (diegetic sound))
Next scene, protagonist is tied up, bleeding, in his own
house by another man (black origin), very abusive language exchanged towards
each other, knows a lot about the protagonist, clear antagonist knows
protagonist from somewhere, antagonist
reminisces, protagonist begins to remember, when younger protagonist bullied
antagonist excessively fifteen years ago, antagonist goes from angry to wanting
to socialise with protagonist, begins conversations, continuous repetition
(punching, “answer the question”), antagonist tells him why he’s here (can’t
forget what happened), hates him in and out, antagonist shows his scar he
received from protagonist, antagonist reveals knife, protagonist begs for
forgiveness, but other begins to knife him
Editorial pacing, quick changes
Hook for the audience: who are these two people? Why are
they behaving in this manner? Is the antagonist really the antagonist, and not
vice versa?
Many close-ups
Light lighting (high contrast
