Film Analysis: Run Lola Run

Improved Essays
This film basically portrays two different scenarios of a typical college going for her coffee break during her class. The ending of each scenario differs depending on the subtle changes of her encounters with people during her journey from her class to cafeteria and back; this is inspired by the film Run Lola Run which illustrates the domino effect of life. Elizabeth (the student getting coffee), in her first walk, is late due many unexpected meetings that made her late to class or she arrives to class on time before break time ends in her second walk. I played as a pokemon trainer who is occupied with my phone, and therefore my carelessness to my surroundings causes an accidental hit against her at 1:43 or I slightly misses the encounter

    Regarding my first project, “Battle Royale Book Cover”, my goal was to briefly summarize the book in subject matter and tone; I wanted people who saw the cover to be curious enough to want to know the relevance of the imagery, but not to gather all the details of the story because of the imagery. With my second submission, “Run Lola Run Movie Poster”, I wanted to visually explain the excitement and complexity of the movie; I did this by adding many elements to the poster (lot of words, multiple elements to the main visual image, many shades of red), in addition, I designed it so the elements, although many, would work together. Proceeding on to the “Shakespeare Project Poster”, I wanted to reflect the play, a collection of scenes of about 20…

    Director D.W. Griffith employs a variety of innovative filmmaking techniques, under the categories of mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing, to tell his narrative in Death’s Marathon. I will focus on a few techniques that stood out to me as essential stylistic decisions that progressed the narrative. Firstly, the costumes and how they distinguished between characters, and events; secondly, the blocking and character movements and how they expressed emotion; thirdly, the lighting and how it distinguished between locations and guided our focus; and finally the editing and how it created suspense in the climax. These are only a few stylistic decisions that Griffith 's made, each one is equally important in developing the film form, however,…

It is completely about the life and times of Forrest, the protagonist, in fact through it all that’s the only thing it’s consistently about.…
