The Gunfighter 9 minutes

The Gunfighter (9 Minutes)
  • The Theme of a quiet drifter 
  • Non diegetic sound
  • All from voice of person over head
  • The voice knows exactly whats going on 
  • the idea of the voice being the narrative

  • Kind of gets complex
  • Narration always itching at different characters
  • Narration pushes towards a finale 
  • Narration prompts a big final battle or climax
