Final Timed-writing
June 21, 2007
Directions: If you were to create a filmed advertisement (a "trailer" )for a movie based on The Grass-Eaters, which scene would you select? Why? Discuss ways in which you might film the scene. (100%)
In this trailer, I would like to select the scene that happened at the end of the story of The Grass-Eaters.
Though the author of the story wants to tell the readers that people in the bottom class of the society led an extremely miserable life at the time, I do not feel like to make the advertisement in a sad tone. As I see it, no matter what one’s life is like, poor or sufficient, the attitude towards life is the most important thing. In other words, one can still feel the happiness of life even if he actually has little money or no place to live just as Ajit Babu does. What I want to show in this trailer is something light up, which will probably encourage people to go on their life, regardless of the real living condition. I will feel happy that, with the help of my trailer, a number of people who are suffering difficulties in their life will manage to keep up making efforts and get over the difficult time. So showing the last scene of the story will help me reach my goal.
In this certain scene, Ajit Babu and his wife are doing some daily housework, with children around, in the place they live. They clean the table, sweep the floor, and wash clothes. They do all these things together, and stop to kiss or smile to each other every few minutes. It is clear that they are very happy despite the poor condition. This poor living condition, however, should be presented to the audiences through the staff they use, like old dirty plates, worn out clothes, and something like that. What’s more, the light must be dim so that the darkness of the society can be indicated. And their children are excited playing with each other, which is the most wonderful scene that the couple would like to see. After they finish the cleaning job, they look outside, and happen to witness a woman dropping her child in the garbage can. On this heart-breaking sight, they hug each other, and then eat some grass with great content to celebrate their satisfying life.
Here is the scene that I want to film, and I hope it will attract more people to watch the film and gain the power to go on their life.
