Choose only ONE topic below to write about:
1.The film begins with a ‘montage’ of under cranked imagery, emphasizing certain prominent characters. Discuss the way these characters are portrayed visually and stylistically. How does editing play a significant part in this representation?
- In the film, a pane of glass is carried across the sidewalk. On each of Lola’s runs, something different occurs—each of these differences have repercussion (Butterfly Effect). Discuss this image and how each of Lola’s attempt to ‘save’ Mani is slightly different. How do these minor changes have repercussions that impact future events?
- Choose 5 editing structures discussed in class. Cite an example of each, demonstrating both its construction, and the meaning it conveys (impact or impression it gives to an audience) Note: At least one example must be a continuity edit and one must be discontinuity edit.
4.Discuss the image of the spiral. What does it represent figuratively and how is this theme explored in the film?
- The film is structured around three separate 'runs', each resulting in a different conclusion. What does Lola 'learn' and do differently to modify the outcome of events? How do fate, grace and will play a role in the outcome?
