Tyrannosaur

Paddy Considine's film Tyrannosaur partially follows the life of christian charity shop worker Hannah who facades the atrocious domestic violence she receives from her husband. The film exposes events that would usually go unnoticed behind closed doors yet something that is very real, we hope to explore this idea in our two minute sequence. In the film Hannah is submissive to her husbands violence finding herself trapped, and despite her best intentions to please her husband she endures physical abuse.

For our piece we will introduce the husband in the final shot however unlike Tyrannosaur his identity will be hidden, this will either be done using a shallow focus to blur his figure or crop his head from the top of the frame, I feel that this is necessary to convey the idea that the abuse is unknown, his face is not important only the aspect of fear that he ressembles.   

Hannahs face alone can suggest the torment she has endured, the lighting to the left of her face emphasises her vacant expression, a frequent occurrence in the film. The idea that you can draw these conclusions about what violence she endures from such a simple shot is something that we would like to develop in our two minute short.
