It’s a great starting for a story: a jury on a way to condemn To death a 18 years guy who have a very complicate childhood. 11 on 12 vote agains him after few min talk and one is oppose. Those 12 jurys have very different personalities, different ages and social positions… On the decision they will take, there is a person live on the line. It’s a strong beginning with a powerful conflict to solve.
The scene arc: we begin with almost a death condemn 11 agains 1 and at the end we start to see that the discutions about to convince the one who disagree make emerge others opinions and may change the global balance.

This is the intro of the joker and I suppose also the beginning of the movie. This scene makes a great job for introducing the main character. Very quick we get from here that the joker is clever, unpredictable, complex, pervert, fearless, a-moral and cold as a dead.
The key for being so efficient is the speed: I feel it’s not an editor inspiration: I was written this way. We are immediately immerse in this intriguing world.
Thanks for the extreme speed of the event the audience can buy things that are not easy to sell without the speed. Usually super top professionals guy wouldn’t speak so much in the action, wouldn’t tell the partner about killing him, they are pro and stupid at the same time etc etc and more generally just tell us all we need to know. But here with the rhythm of the music, leading a very effective edit and few dynamic camera moves it’s take the audience by speed, and allow us to get surprise without questioning. If the speed would’d be less, all this beautiful mechanic will grip.
Other Exemple: We see the manager being afraid and passive, but then becoming a bad ass shooter killing a couple of bad guy but then again being not so good running out of amo and not protect him self, then at the end speaking to make himself kill then having his two arms loose and not take out the grenade in his mouth waiting dying ( normally you don’t buy that ).
All that create surprise and great entertainment and it was made possible because of the frenetic rhythm of the scene plus originals information that build up the scene as the fact of being a mafia bank, the elimination game of the professionals killing each other, us not knowing witch one is the joker because of the mask and being more and more curious to discover him etc etc.
All together we have a very concentrate delivery of info in a very dynamic, sexy way. Forcing us to be always at the present moment, without the capacity of questioning things, we are surprise and oblige to buy it. That makes the scene very efficient.

Hi I’m Juan Solanas, Argentinean Director, writer, producer.
I write a half dozen of script, just for my project.
Sorry about my english, I learn english in 3 month to direct a movie,
Since i try to improve it!
I’m a 100% self learning writer, my first try was my only short that I also direct, I win the jury prize in the official selection in cannes film festival, The Man Without a Head. Since then I keep writing and directing full features movies or engaged documentaries and had two official selections in cannes and several prizes around the world. In http://www.juansolanas.com you can watch the short and see the other movies I deed. I’m also a visual artist making immersive video installations and fine art photography.
I’m always curious to learn, specially learns others approach for write. I write always with deep intuitions and try to keep it fresh, non program, I always get bore when I saw a movie, and since the beginning you can predict everything the will happens, I try to write in the opposite way, try to fish in deep water, but is hard. So I think this course could be a fantastic complement to my way of writing.
My other passion are my wife and two child, astrophysics and electric guitar, I just start to learn electronic and design pedal for electric guitar just for fun.
