Objectives and La Ban

Following up on last weeks lectures I thought I'd apply these principles to our films Characters

The Man:

Overall objective: To find a connection with society, form some sort of temporary relationship which will cure his inner loneliness.

Actions: To attract some sort of sympathy by presenting his urn and talking about his dead mother or father (which is a lie or very manipulatiuve)

La Ban Principles:
heavy
soft
indirect
leaning more towards the slow side but hes is smart

The Bartender:

Overall/Scene Objective: To serve his customer, put up with what he has to say, go with the flow.

Actions: Listens, serves drinks and gives advise.

Beat: Where Bartender really starts to listen to the man and becomes more sympathetic, after just listening and not really being emotionally connected.

La Ban Principles:
neither heavy nor light but leaning slightly towards light
hard
direct
again leaning slightly towards slow but he is smart

The Hairdresser:

Overall/scene objective: To cut the man's hair and move on to her next customer

Actions: Cutting the man's hair and moire prentending to listen than actually listening, off in her own world.

Beat: Happens between shots, once hairdresser realises what The man is talking about she also becomes more sympathetic

La Ban Principles:
Light
Soft
Indirect
Slow
