#14: The Delinquent Season

Production: Head Gear Films, Ruth Coady

Distribution: Front Row Filmed Entertainment

Genre: Drama/Romance/Modern Social-Realism

Director: Mark O'Rowe

Synopsis: Following the lives of two middle-class Dublin couples, we meet Jim (Murphy) and Daniele (Birthistle); happily married suburbanites with an idillic family set-up, who also enjoy spending their evenings enjoying quiet dinner parties with friends Chris (Scott) and Yvonne (Walker). After one of the aforementioned evenings, cracks begin to unravel as Yvonne returns to Jim and Daniele to say that Chris, edgy throughout dinner, has hit her. Daniele is invited to stay and Jim, a writer working from home, welcomes the distraction. He also welcomes Yvonne’s unexpected advances and both embark on an affair which furthers the choas in both of their lives.




This video is very conventional of a interviewer/interviewee set-up, and it appears to be at the Irish premiere of the movie, in which cast and crew are spoken to about the prospective movie.


In this particular example, the interviwer's questions are minced/edited out, so the level of conversation is minute and it therefore emulates a sense of the cast/crew passionately talking about their creation and hard-work. It is clearly light-hearted, to perhaps combat the trenching themes of the movie, and because the situation they are being interviewed in is an upbeat, lively one.


This is something I may not be able to convey in my clip for my project obviously due to budgeting, but I aim to encapsulate a sense of the team talking about their work more than an unnecessary focalisation on the interviewer's questions. Subsequently, I intend to achieve an almost effortless yet realistic dialogue of someone's genuine thoughts on the movie.
