Ambrose Bierce, part 2

WRITING

Owl Creek Bridge: The Movie

Write a memorandum to a film producer outlining your plans for adapting Bierce’s story into a movie. Point out scenes where you would use each of the following techniques: (a) close-up shot; (b) moving-camera shot; (c) quick cut to new scene; (d) fast motion; (e) slow motion; (f) fuzzy image; and (g) sound effects. (The story was made into an award-winning film in 1962 in France.)

Additionally, design a poster for your movie. Consider the artwork that will represent the film (without ruining it), a clever title, stars, etc.
