The Making of 'Tesis' Page #2

So?

It's a digital zoom!

The bugger used digital zoom

So what?

We can find the camera he used

How many cameras have

digital zoom? 5000? 1 0,000?

How many were there two years ago?

Not many

Very few

Autofocus, light control,

stabilizer, stereo mike...

Sh*t!

Here:
"Digital zoom - the centre

of the picture gets..."

B-2000 - it only came out this year

Let's see...

Stroboscopic effect,

solar effects...

I'm sure that was the one

The XT-500?

F***, that's it! The XT-500

Here it is, I'm sure

Autofocus, audio dubbing...

digital zoom

"This feature offers...

"...a significant enlargement of the

original." There you go...

He used a XT-500

- It's the Hl-8 system, I think

- Fascinating...

- Well, I'm going home for dinner

- You're hungry?

No, scared

Don't take it with you

I want to see it again

Her parents haven't heard from her

Sena, come here

Did you search my room?

Why? Of course not

I hate people snooping around

It wasn't me

Well, someone's been looking around

It wasn't me

You were after that tape, right?

Leave me alone

It's Chema. I've got something

I'm not interested, got it?

- Someone's been in my room

- What?

Calm down, will you?

- No one knows, don't panic!

- Of course not

You'd better check your room

as well

No one's been in here

But I must show you something

- I can't...

- Yes, you can!

- I don't want to!

- Yes, you do!

It didn't seem important at first

No, please, don't... please!

"Please..."

" Please..."

There!

What?

It's a cut

Look again

No, please, don't... please!

Why are you doing this to me?

It's been edited

Not just here, it's full of cuts

All done in the same way -

very subtle

He's almost in the same position

So why the cut?

You want to see everything in films

like these

The more you see, the better

So why cut it?

So we won't see something

Why me? Please -

She was going to say something

What?

Something he doesn't want us to hear

His name

- She knew who he was

- So what?

So now we know something

about him

You sound like the police

Hey, don't insult me

We must find who were her friends

He might be one of them

Look...

I've had enough of this

You're scared

Of course I am, this isn't a game.

It's real killing

Piss off, then.

I'll do this on my own

You don't get it - I said it's over!

For you as well

I don't want any trouble

- I won't get you into trouble

- So what will you do?

Go after anyone with a camera

like that?

And if you find him?

Or he finds you?

That's my problem

Too right it is

I've never been here, I don't know you

and I've never seen that tape

What is cinema?

Cinema is an industry, it's money

It's millions invested in films

and then retrieved at the box office

We have no cinema because it's not

seen as industry

There's no communication between

the makers and their public

We've reached a critical stage

Spanish cinema can only be saved

if it's accepted as an industrial factor

You, as students of cinema,

are the future of Spanish cinema

Save it!

The American industry...

...is strangling you and there's only

one way to fight it:

Give the public what it wants

Don't forget that

Angela, right?

How do you do...

- A drink?

- No, thanks

Here's my project

Don't be so formal, I'm not that old

I've neglected it lately

Never mind, I just want to get an idea

Anything else I need to know?

Excellent

"University Student Disappears"

"Where is Our Daughter?

"Court Blocks New lnquiry

in Vanessa Romero's Case"

That's all for today...

see you tomorrow

Don't forget to bring in your work

What do you want?

What do you want of me?

This is yours!

Are you doing Journalism?

No, cinema and TV

- One of us?

- Give it to me, please

Is this a project you're working on?

No... well, yes, it's a project

- You're in luck then

- Why?

I knew her

A friend of my girl. I know what

happened

That's alright, thanks...

I've got all I need

There are things you don't know

Where were you?

Yolanda, this is...

Angela

She's doing a project on Vanessa

Can I have a word?

Hi, roadrunner

Is it really a project

or are you kidding me?

No, it's true

And the camera?

Camera?

For the project?

Oh, of course

- Well, the truth is...

- You're confused

What?

No, the thing is...

we still haven't got it

We've got to get authorization

Will this do?

I've had enough!

It's bullshit

You've got to help me!

To interview him?

He pushed me

Pushed you?

What does one ask a killer?

Was Vanessa a normal girl?

I'm glad you asked: she was

a wonderful girl, full of life...

...until I killed her, of course

Did she mix with wierd types?

No, she was a saint

Did Vanessa seem odd prior

to her disappearance?

What do I know?

- Do you think she was killed?

- You can't ask that!

- It's fundamental

- You'll f*** up if you ask that

If I don't, he'll think I'm avoiding

the issue

Who care what he might think.

This isn't your thesis

What is it?

I'm leaving

Why?

Because

Great

Alright, I'm sorry

Where are my keys?

So what's his name?

Where are my keys?

- What's this?

- These are my sister's

- I never lose my keys

- Welcome to the club

This is Bosco and this is Chema

How's it going?

- Is that the camera?

- Chema's the cameraman

- You know how it works?

- I think so

When you're ready

Bosco was in class with Vanessa

Can you tell us what happened?

Well, Vanessa didn't come to class

for several days

When we phoned her,

they said she's disappeared

The police looked for her for months

but we never heard from her again

You think she was kidnapped?

Some say so, but it's absurd

She sent one letter in which she

wrote....

...that she was in love with some guy

and ran off with him

There was no ransom demand

Didn't you think it strange that you

knew nothing about her private life?

I don't spy on people...

do you?

Any idea who she'd run away with?

No, but knowing Vanessa,

it had to be someone...

...very special

- In what way?

- In every way

Vanessa...

Two years have gone by and I'm sure

you've made a new life for yourself

But wherever you are...

...your friends won't forget you

Please, Vanessa...

Come back, I love you

- He was crying...

- Bullshit!

- Suppose he's honest

- Don't fall for it

You look at his angelic face

and believe every word he says

- Do you fancy him?

- Don't be silly

Don't you be silly

But that letter...

The letter just says she fell in love

- Who with?

- Who do you think?

How can you so sure?

And besides...

...Bosco has a girl

Get this into your head

Apart from being a stuck-up

little turd, he is a psychopath...

That's all he is

Can't you see how he looks at you?

He's dying to blow your brains out

while he buggers you

- He's mad!

- Sounds like you know him

Right, go for him. He'll come round

with a camera and a knife

- So what now?

- Nothing

Why?

We know who he is,

now let's go home

We must tell the police

Like hell we do! Not me, anyway...

We've no proof. We don't even know
