You're probably thinking "where is Joe's analysis?".
Well, there's no way for me to exclude the tardiness on this work other than that i am a lazy bum and never get my work done :) Anyways, here it is.

I chose to analyse the scene where the explanation for the money's disappearance is presented. When Lola and Manni are talking on the phone, talkin about how the deal went down, the director is constantly cutting to the past, showing what happened, to visualize Manni's words. Another effect that… Continue

In Run Lola Run, In the opening scene of the movie there are some very interesting techniques used in order to get a certain reaction out of the viewer. directly after the credits the shot fades to a coo coo clock that is sped up, which is symbolic of the time methods used later in the film.Techno music blares in the background as the mouth of the coo coo clock opens and the camera tracks into the dark whole. The camera cuts to a high slightly front lighten area surrounded by fast moving silhoue… Continue

The scene I have chosen is the sequence where Lola meets her dad and in that time, her dad tells her he is not actually her father.

As she runs towards her father's office, the music starts up again introducing the beat. The lighting is only from the top but there are glimpses of light from the side that brings about a shadow on one side of her body, adding to the central TONE of the movie: mysterious tone. The hallway is long and leads to some misfortune and the poor lighting of the hallway re… Continue

The scene in “Run Lola Run”, in the very beginning starting with the phone call to her boyfriend, up until the point she starts to run I felt, conveyed a tone of urgency and helped build towards the theme of the movie. The movie has a theme that says something about how every little second counts, and how differently an outcome will play when you miss just a split second of an event.

First of all, you can feel the sense of urgency just in the background music playing. It has a very fast beat to… Continue

The Scene which I have choose is where her boy friend is holding up the grocery store trying to get money. The tone is violent, and the theme plays along with what is happening in the story. The theme would be, 'Its a dog eat dog world, where people steal your money'. That is a personal theme which I think would fit with what is happening in this story. The lighting is a little poor, it is rather dark on the subject, her boy friend but for the captives it is light from the sides and from ontop.… Continue

My daughter is a rising junior at Azusa Pacific University near Pasadena, Calif. During a course last year in film production, she was assigned to make a short film. She wrote it and directed. The assignment required that no dialogue be used to advance the plot.

Her school is offering a $1,000 scholarship to the student whose film gets the most 'Favorite' votes on YouTube. I am hoping that you might be willing to watch her film, hit that Favorite button, and maybe forward this to someone else w… Continue

As you probably know, there's as new platform for European student film called Breaking Ground (BG).

HUMTOO is currently running HUMFEST, a new project development contest offering a $650 prize for the best film (or part thereof) that sources music from HUMTOO and the same amou… Continue

the film starts out with a long shot of a dark street. Someone is laying roses out on the street while the intro credits are shown, and then a car appears from one side of the street and runs over the roses.(all this during the forst shot) The length of this shot is very significant and it sets the mood of the film right away.

The next six shots show who is in the car. A couple is at the back seat in formal clothes (mid shot), and a young girl in black clothes is in the front seat(close up). Th… Continue

color
Jeunet uses the colors green and red with yellow lighting throughout the film. This gives it a very warm, bright, and a somewhat childlike feeling.
