I've decided to stay away from the scripts we've been given because I don't want to end up with something similar to other animations; however, in doing so I've been having some serious decision issues with what exactly I will do.
Initially I thought I'd do a scene from a recent topical film or a timeless classic film; with this I considered scenes from the likes of 'Inception', Lord of the Rings', 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Iron Man'. I couldn't quite think of any particular scene from Inception that would make a good adaptation, and I didn't like the thought of doing Iron Man as I felt it would seem more like I was taking an easy way out in the sense that we had already covered the rigging of robots in the previous term, and with Iron Man being predominately robots, I saw no other way around this. I liked the idea of reproducing a scene from Pulp Fiction, specifically the first scene featuring Samuel Jackson and John Travolta. However, I felt the scene was too long and contained too much dialogue to fit into a roughly 3 minute animation.
Now, having spent much thought on this and having watched countless films I have finally settled on (drum roll please) 'The Dark Knight'. Personally, The Joker was my favourite character from the film, but there are many scenes from the film that I could have chosen. In the end I have decided to go with the interrogation scene between Batman and The Joker. If I did it to timescale then I'm looking at it starting in the dark room with the Joker and commissioner Gordon, and then ending at the point where Batman pulls the Joker over the table for a somewhat dramatic finish. However, if I wanted I could cut the dialogue down a bit and probably get in the whole scene, during which Batman roughs up the Joker a little.
