Freeze Frames

Freeze Frames
Our teacher wrote out a short noir opening scene. She then asked us to re-create it using freeze-frame images for each scene in any order we liked.



Buster Rayburn is in a prison cell His voice over can be heard 'Here I am again. They said I wouldn't make iton the outside. If only i didn't meet that dame'

Flashback to buster walking out of jail

Buster is drunk in a bar on his own when a gangster who says they have a job for him. Buster turns the job down

The gangster's girlfriend Lacey Lane appears. Buster can't take take his eyes off her 

Back to buster in jail. Voice over 'if only I had walked away when i had the chance'

Buster is back at the same bar drinking bourbon. Lacey lane walks in a whispers seductively in his ear

Lacey gives buster a gun and a kiss

Buster shoots the gangster as he leaves his house one morning

Buster and Lacey meet in his dingy hotel. She thanks him and says that she will run away with him that night 

Buster waits for Lacey at the railway station. The cops turn up and arrest him. Lacey can be seen in the background. She has obviously reported him to the police 

Buster quickly grabs a police mans gun after a struggle, manages to fire a shot which hits Lacey and she dies 

Back to buster in jail. His voice over can be heard 'You see dames always bring a man down. She wont hurt anymore suckers now'

  1. It wasn't any order you liked Jude. You were asked to recreate a typical Noir narrative.
