'Desperado' Summer Project.

As a way to ease us in to our final year of University (terrifying thought) we have been asked to promote our very own 'Arthouse' for D&AD film night. Immediately I knew American western films would be fantastic genre to work with because in every point of our lives we go through a phase of playing Cowboys and Indians (Hero vs. Villan). Also 50 years ago, Westerns was the only form of entertainment and as a result; produced many mesmerising films. I've gone with 'Desperado' for a title which basically means bandit/outlaw and this theme connects my chosen 4 films: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The assassination of Jesse James, High noon and 3:10 to Yuma. Now it's time to crack on and get creative!
