Narrative

3:15

"There have been a number of murders in a small town over the last two weeks."

The police say there is a man breaking into houses between the hours of 3:15-3:45am, murders them and then feasts on their remains. The protagonist; John Wayne, sets up surveillance cameras around his house for safety and after a week he checks the tapes. Initially he doesn't see much in  this viewing but he did notice that every night around 3:15am, he would leave his house.

The narrative of our production follows a nonlinear plot structure, starting at the beginning of the storyline with a fast-paced montage. The technique us to disorientate the audience and make them feel uncomfortable as if they were the victim. We start with the disequilibrium to disrupt the audiences stream of consciousness and make the audience and make the atmosphere more dramatic and tense. This is our sense of disorder and is reflected within our main protagonist. We decided to create a dual narrative that links the protagonist to an antagonist. This links to Levi Strauss' theory of binary opposites as there is both a light and dark side to all our characters.
