Dial 1119

It's no insult to anybody involved to suggest that Andre Previn’s title music for Gerald Mayer’s DIAL 1119 (1950, TCM, Apple TV+) is one of the best things in the picture. His percussive, jazz-tinged score sets the stage so perfectly you may wish he had gotten to do background music for the rest of the film. But in the long run Mayer made the right choice in going with only diegetic music. It heightens the suspense as escaped mental patient Marshall Thompson holds the patrons of a second-story bar hostage. DIAL 1119 is a tidy little thriller made on a surprisingly low budget for MGM and enhanced by some great camera work by Paul Vogel. Thompson is good casting in the lead. With his baby face, he’s much creepier than a more obvious heavy might have been, and he wisely underplays most of the time (wisely because when he finally overplays it’s not very convincing, which kills some of the tension). The rest of the cast may have been chosen because they fit the low budget, but some are very good indeed: William Conrad as a grumpy bartender named “Chuckles,” Leon Ames as a cheating husband, Argentina Brunetti as a passenger on Thompson’s bus, Sam Levene as the police psychiatrist Thompson is out to get and particularly Virginia Field as a lush. At times, she seems to be a lady of the evening coming on to the male customers, but that wouldn’t have been allowed in 1950, so when one man makes an offer, she laughs in his face, something Field did very well.

I made this short film I’d say a few months ago. This was my first short film and the one that really set my filmmaking journey in motion. I am very proud of this short film here. Even though it is my first short film, I am proud of the effort and determination I put into this. I even had it shown at a film festival at my school and then shown at a movie theater.

I am endlessly proud of this short film. Even if it does have flaws in it, which I’m sure it does, I’m still proud of what I was able to achieve. I’m hoping that other young and aspiring filmmakers can in some way feel inspired to just go out and make something for once to achieve their dreams of making movies.

The Reveal Before the Reveal

                One thing every writer needs to master is the reveal. Mystery, suspense, the withholding of information is often the core of interesting plot points and controlling the pacing of your narrative. When it’s been building up for so long, that moment where things start to come together, we unearth that vital piece of information, or finally see the thing that's been under our noses the entire time, it should be exciting and rewarding!

                One way I like to do this is by having a reveal before the big reveal. Instead of immediately finding the body, your mc finally gets into the missing person’s house and sees the destruction. Instead of stumbling into the town cult meeting, we accidentally peek into the mayor’s house and see the cloak.

                Essentially, the reader and sometimes also the mc should put together the mystery a moment before it’s actually revealed. This still creates the big surprise, while having a moment of dread—we already know what we’ll find in the depths of this house, and we already know no matter how much we don’t want to, we have to find it.

                It’s a way of trusting your readers. Surprises are much more satisfying when we put them together ourselves. Having the narrative spell it out for you by immediately showing you the reveal might have the surprise, but not as much of the satisfaction.

                Try it out, what confirms your mystery without spelling it out? What’s your reveal before the reveal?

                Good luck!

I really loved Nope. I can’t stop thinking about the scene when Emerald is talking about how she was supposed to train Jean Jacket and Pops never looked up at her at the window but OJ did. OJ acknowledged her and saw her. He named the Creature “Jean Jacket” as a way of saying, here’s the chance you wanted. The chance you never got. And she is the one who finally solved the puzzle and killed it/got it to leave. And she got her picture. I’m so proud of them, best siblings ever

#this movie was so good for so many reasons ljke it had the suspense it had the twisted inexplicable moments of pure horror #it had deep meaning connected to Viewing and Digesting and Taming #the siblings kept surprising me bc you can tell there’s moments where they don’t agree but they choose to stay together and fight together. #em chooses to stay and not run away leaving her brother to die w their horses #it’s just a beautiful film I’m so happy I watched it #I thought Steven Yeuns character was SO. fucked up. he obviously is so haunted by the violence of the past but makes a shrine to it. #spins it and uses it for social status. cheapening any lesson he may have learned about life and death into some idea that he’s ‘chosen’ #I want to keep ranting about this but I must continue Pondering #personal #a small diary entry #nope 2022
