Corridor shoot

Shoot of a corridor, i think there quite similar providing i can get the lighting right.

Hotel

This is a hotel in plymouth that i stayed in last summer, I think it a bit too modern to use as a location also it would be a bit exspensitive to use for one photo shoot.

Local accents in Fargo

There is an importance placed in the geographical location, the fact that it’s in the far north next to the Canadian border, there is also an importance in the accents and language. This regional quality gives it an element of humour and charm that would other wised make it a dry and dull film. (for instance the way that they repeatedly refer to one of the hit men as “funny looking” or the use of the word “super”.

Texeco locations

I found a Texeco that has some similaritys to the one in the film but not many, proberly need to keep on look. :(

Use of car in Fargo

The plot tends to revolve around cars, to the extent that its almost pivotal to story. Most of the talking tends to happen in a car, Jerry Lundegaard works in a car dealership and the two men they hire to abduct his wife kill the police man after he pulls them over for a traffic violation.
Cars provide a location in two ways, first as a scene in which two people sit next to each other and talk. The second way that it is used is by a car driving down a road off into the distance surrounded by snow. This is used for instance as the opening scene as well as in one of the last scenes in the movie. This use of cars serves to highlight to remoteness of the area, there is also something sublime about it. Having said that I think it is also quite a cliché shot in cinematography.

There some problems with using this as a location, first being that i don't have a car and secondly I wouldn't be able to so it without snow.

Short blurb to "no country for old men"

No country for old men is a 1980s modern western about a man (Llewelyn Moss) who finds the bloody aftermath of a drug deal that goes wrong. He takes a suitcase full of money from the scene and heads home, later that night he attempts to return to help a wounded man but is chased away by Mexicans.

The sheriff, Ed Bell finds the site of the murders and start on the trail of both moss and bell. As the story progresses it rapidly turns into a chase move with Moss running from remorseless killer Anton Chigurh who has been hired to return the money. This results in a tense moment in a hotel room where Llewelyn is almost caught but escapes because he has hidden the money with the tracking device in ceiling vent which means Anton goes to the wrong room.
They eventually come face to face in another hotel and after a short fight both of them are wounded, moss escapes into Mexico and ends up in hospital. He is later killed off screen.

Chigurh finds Moss’s wife and says he will flip a coin to decide if she will live but if tells them that there’s no coin, just him. He then walks out and is hit by a car.
