    FTV: Changes

    Changes in Film Noir:


    • No suicide ( because it pushes outside the PG form) 
    • Boy is in college 
    • Someone has been murdered by being pushed over a building 
    • When Stuart runs away from the scene with the professor, Freddy chases Stuart gives up and goes back to the unconscious professor and drags him to the top of the building and pushes him off to make it seem like a hoax
    • Planning to cut off "dog scene" as it doesn't mesh well together with the movie 
    • make the metaphors in the nursery rhyme more clear. (example: Hey Diddle Diddle the cat and the fiddle- a shot of the policemen, detective, investigator) 
    • The Dog is an important figure in the film 
    • Short shots are the end 
    • Hand cuffs on Freddy's hand
    • In court 
    • Hammer slamming down 
    • Freddy behind bars 
    • The Detective places his badge down on the desk 
    • '' switches off the lights 
    • '' sits at the bus stop waiting for the bus to come, the bus comes forward and drives off, the detective disappears 
    • Freddy is a little bit psycho and subtle tells the detective/ father what he did/ committed 
    • Instead of another recording tape, we would use a toy car as it would symbolise what is to come in next
    • Steals back toy car
