The Facts
Replicated scene from the file "Memento" where the main character, Leonard Shelby, is exploring his tattoos. His lack of memory forces him to write everything down and the important facts are tattooed on his body.
DPS Assignment
1. The technical requirement is to present image with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the widescreen "letterbox" format familiar from DVD films and HDTV. Some cameras now come with a widescreen mode but on most that means you will have to do some cropping. Short-listed entries will be checked to see that they are in this ratio (if your image is 740px wide, it should be 416px high).
2. As a creative challenge, pick a scene that looks like it could have come from a film (either a "lost scene" from a known movie or one you made up). You might want to watch some of your favourite movies and pay attention to the cinematography (don't forget the film geek extras on many disks - they often give hints about choices that were made such as selecting an overall colour palette for the movie).
3. For fun (not essential), suggest the title for the movie you have in mind.
