Elements of drama.

Elements of drama;

Ä     Situations- what is the story? Surrounding the main protagonist of The Catcher In The Rye, Holden Caulfield. He is walking around, in his isolation and I am going to translate that through shots of his surroundings and how he acts in the conversation he has. 

Ä     Roles- who is involved? Holden Caulfield and his former classmate before his expulsion Horowitz.

Ä     Responsibilities- how do the characters feel about each other? Holden has a tense relationship with everybody in his life at the moment because of his recent expulsion from his school; he doesn’t want any one to know and so he is being secretive and wants to talk about other things, in this case, when Horowitz asks him about not seeing him at school in a while. He is more interested in asking strange questions, which gives of a more pronounced view of isolation within Holden because he in socially incapable of answering the question, which ends up with Horowitz becoming infuriated and leaving, with Holden still trapped in his pensive state.                 

Ä     Place- where is the setting? The film is going to be set in a woodland, this is because although I considered trying to show isolation in a crowded place, I thought it would be a lot more visually pleasing in an isolated place, where is alone both physically and metaphorically.
