My Storyline

A vague outline of both my Narrative and Plot, just incase if you get confused

I hate when films end on a sudden note with unanswered questions and loose ends, but with my Film Noir OTS  I am going to do just that. I am not going to tell you why Jack Kills Erin, its for your own interpretation, hopefully the enigma of wanting to know why will keep you watching and then guessing.

Narrative of my OTS :  Jack and Nik are working together to con Erin, Jack has been seeing Erin and they are a couple. Nik seduces Erin and they end up sleeping together, but what Erin doesn't know is that Nik has told Jack when to come in to catch them together. Jack comes in and finds them in an embrace and storms angrily out of the room, after a few days Jack and Erin meet up in a restaurante/bar to talk things over. Erin is unaware of the friendship between the men and acts sorry for hurting and cheating on Jack. Jack acts harshly and bluntly, getting ready to shoot Erin. After awkward silences and little speech Jack shoots Erin and leaves the restaurante/bar to meet with Nik. They say its done and then go their separate ways, and ends with 2 weeks earlier...

Plot of my OTS (Structure) : Starts with the scene at the restaurante/bar then cuts to Jack having the flashback/memory of catching Erin and Nik in bed together and then cuts back to present time in the restaurante/bar. Jack shoots and kills Erin and then leaves to meet up with Nik. He meets Nik and agree that its done and then they go their separate ways, revealing the text of the film title then the text '2 weeks earlier...'

Without realising it and only realising it after watching Double Indemnity the other day, my plot is weirdly  similar to the film noir film Double Indemnity. We both start with the present and then go into a flashback and then back into the present, my exception being that mine then says 2 weeks earlier.. obviously then revealing why the killing happened. The other similarities are that in both of them there are plots to kill someone and in both, enigma and tension is a big part of it, a tragic ending occuring aswell.
