Dogville

Dogme Filmmaking 95 is basically a set of rules, a new wave of filmmaking, created by two Danish filmmakers. Some of the rules state that the camera must be hand held, there is to be no props or music, and the scene must not contain superficial action.

In 2003, Dogville was released, a Dogme film. It's a film where there are no walls, only written guidelines on the ground. The story is simply about a small town up in the mountains, inhabited by good honest folk, who are just living there lives day by day as it comes. Until suddenly a stranger appears one night, and they take her in, watching her closely.

This film fits into dogme filmmaking very well. When watching the film the camera man completely follows the action with every move, never standing in one space, always being led by the lead character. It is almost completely silent as you only hear the footsteps and the sounds of the characters in the film. There is no action that is superficial, it is all easily assembled with little props.

MOMENTO

This movie is very interesting to watch simply because the scenes go in reverse. But yet it is still fairly simple to follow. Go figure? The film Momento is about a man who has lost his short term memory, every couple of minutes he has to figure out what happened 2 minutes before...he writes himself notes to remind him everything he has to do and the people he knows, for inmstance, he has tattoed on his body, "John G raped and murdered my wife find him" and the movie basically leads up to how this came about.

Script o rama

Script for 10 Things i Hate About You. http://www.script-o-rama.com/snazzy/dircut.html

The setting that has been written down in this script seems pretty similar to what has been done in the film. As i remember anyways lol, it's easy to follow, you know exactly what is going on and where they are, outside or indside...it's very simple and easy to understand.

The character's have been displayed write on track with the film, it is very simlar in the way that they have captured the personality and the look of the main characters veyr well,one girl being basically beautiful and popular and the other one being, not ugly, but not very presentable.

The Plot directions have been written quite well, easyily followed and simple to understand. Overall i think scripts are very similar to the film, if they weren't then it wouldn't be a script for the film would it lol.
