ALTERNATE ENDINGS

ALTERNATE ENDINGS

I HAVE decided to write and shoot two endings to my short film as I am not sure which ending I prefer. I will decide during the editing process which one I want to use as each ending has a different impact on the film. 

This is the first ending:

This ending plays more into the theme of Film Noir which I was trying to include. It places the character Natalie in the position of the femme fatal who is weak and inevitably ends up dying at the end. I do want to portray a strong female lead, so I don't think I will include an actual death scene. This will also be hard to make look realistic when on such a low budget.

This is the second ending:

This ending is more of a surprise to the viewer so may be more effective and punchy. I am not sure how realistic this ending is but it does produce a comedy element to the film. This adds a moment of relief after tension previously.
