It’s important to me that there is a clear story and defined
characters in my screenplay. I’m writing a Science Fiction Noir, and as I work
on the technique and story construct, I’m also mulling over aesthetic choices. Noir
& Science Fiction genres can be very stylized. I find working within a
genre can be helpful because it feels as if there's a compass for your course
as a writer and filmmaker. There are components for a style and I am going over them with my
own brush. I'm trying to step away from some of the old conventions. Science
fiction can be very polished, cold and...masculine. I want the woman
protagonist in my film to be warm, approachable. I want the setting to be
urban, lived-in and familiar.
I've been thinking about costume. The characters are professionals so they will be
wearing suits but we're going to try to stay away from the 1940s. Melinda
Snyder, our wardrobe lady, has some great ideas about where we will go for
suits. We're looking towards 1980s and 90s cuts, dark greys. This is going to
be fun.
