Primary Research: The book I am taking inspiration from is ‘The Catcher in The Rye’ written by J.D. Salinger and was published in 1951. I am going to be basing the one-minute film off a few specific pages in the book, pages 74-77. This will be focusing on the characters of main protagonist Holden Caulfield and Horowitz, potentially Phoebe Caulfield. I wanted to use this book because I always liked the conversations in it, they often include themes such as alienation and identity and I thought it would be interesting to try to project some of that on screen.
Secondary Research: I did quite a lot of background reading and internet research on Salinger so I could get a better feel of his influences and how his writing process for the book developed- such as how a play for the book was nearly developed in a collaboration with Ernest Hemingway. In preparation for writing the script and starting to plan the shots I would be using I also read the book, and wrote out the pages I knew I wanted to use for it, highlighting quotes I thought I would want to be used, this is mainly dialogue spoken between two characters.
