WRITING (chapter nine)

While any good script must provide a director with ample raw material to construct the basic shots of a film, a truly great script offers nonverbal figurative clues too. Filmmakers use figurative techniques, analagous to literary motifs, symbols etc., to express the thoughts, ideas or themes of characters, time periods or authors.

After viewing the selected clips, describe one use of a literary motif in each.

• Scarface - Brian de Palma (1983)
• The Omega Man - Boris Sagal (1971)
• Bonnie and Clyde - Arthur Penn (1967)
