Law and Order style empowerment


(sourced from www.ew.com)
I was busy thinking about ways that I could convey the tension in 2 minutes to hook the audience. Circular narritive is one way to do this as it shows a later stage of the film, where the audio and visuals all would indicate tension. I discovered another interesting perspective created by the program Law and Order, in that the criminals perspective is shown in addition to the protagonists trying to catch them. This is a very unique point and something that I could use in my film.
Showing the apparent enigma (the psychotic teacher )early will cause the audience to constantly watch what he does and suspect him. It doesnt mean that he would necessarily be the killer as he would always seem suspicious but it could be other reasons for his presence in the scene.
On the opposite side of things, if he was the killer, it would create a large amount of dramatic irony as the audience would constantly be in a position of empowerment from the scene shown in the OTS. They would constantly urge a protagonist, ignorant to this information that was given to the audience and in a way be infuruated by them
