PHONE BOOTH – what was Phone Booth about?
The “phone booth” is about a New York City publicist named Stuart Shepard who lives a life telling lie’s whether it is for his job or to his wife Kelly. Stuart or better known as Stu is cheating on his wife Kelly with his secret girlfriend Pam, of which to keep his wife from knowing the truth about his affair he calls Pam everyday from a pay phone, but what he doesn’t know is, all of his calls made to this pay phone have been listened to, by a psychopath, who makes it his job to get rid of the liars, and the selfish ones who don’t consider the feelings of others, of which Stuart Shepard is to discover.
Stuart makes his way to the phone booth, as he does every day, but as he waits outside the booth, the phone rings, of which a ringing phone always has to be answered. He answers the phone half expecting it to be Pam, but instead it is a man who tells Stuart that he knows everything about him and his secret affair with Pam and he tells him that to save his own life he is to stay in that phone booth till he has confessed everything to his wife and girlfriend and if he hangs up he will kill him. Stu doesn’t believe him until the psychopath tells him his exact location and the red light from the rifle of the psychopath is pointing on his chest.
The psychopath tells him he is to confess everything to his wife Kelly and his girlfriend Pam and if he doesn’t he will kill him, but whilst he makes him confess he has his way with him, first ordering him to do things which can make him look foolish and also smartly trying to stitch him up for a murder which happened right in front of his very eyes, by planting a gun in the phone booth.
Because of the murder and the fact Stu will not come out of the phone booth, there are a whole lot of police officers and media and amongst the crowds is Pam and Kelly, of which he pours his heart out for forgiveness to his wife Kelly. The psycho, for him to let him go he has to chose from Pam and Kelly to be killed, but Stu puts the phone down and says for the psycho to take his life instead of which the psycho believes he has learnt his lesson, whilst this happens the police believe they have tracked the caller but Stu discovers when he’s safe that they did not find the psycho as he comes face to face with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TODAYS LESSON- 2nd october

today we watched a scene from a thriller and analysed wat we saw, e.g medium shots close ups, lighting, relationships between people in the scene and i learnt what an establishing shot is and how it is used in the beginning of a film, i also learnt how credits at the start of a movie can also show or illustrate something, in this case the thriller "Psycho" its credits broke up which we believe it illustrated the broken mind of a psycho and how things would appear in their eyes.
