In order to communicate life’s possibilities, Tykwer manipulates the distinctly visual to portray meaning to the audience. He communicates aspects of society and the world and us through the distinctly visual, which shapes our perspective of the truth. Tom Tykwer’s 1999 film Run Lola Run presents his audience with a postmodernist experiment in film. His distinctly visual and his unique methods create a dynamic film that challenges traditional methods. This style is shown through the exploration of games and the game theory.
Distinctively visual utilise various techniques to convey significant ideas to their audience. A text is constituted to be distinctively visual through the images created and response gained from the audience, by exploring the idea that everything within a text has been deliberately placed there by the composer for a reason, this could be to extend or to challenge our understanding of important concepts or to get the viewer to act these out. The composer does this through the use of visual techniques such as flashbacks, flash-forwards, filters and camera angles. This is evident in ’Run Lola Run’ by Tom Tykwer and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ by Danny Boyle Tom Tykwer’s film Run Lola Run, created in 1998, is a movie about love, determination, and fate. It is a continuous journey about a girl by the name of Lola who is involved in some dangerous business with her boyfriend Manni.
File form is the ways that the filmmakers use to show the story scenes and express the concepts that they want to tell. Filmmakers make use of various shots and filming angles to present different film content. For example, when a particular scene’s action has broken down into many shots, the filmmaker can utilize this fragmentation to precisely control what audience see, when they see it, how they see it, how long they see it, and in what order they see it. The film form directly influence the perspectives and points of view of the audiences since the audiences have to follow filmmakers’ shots and angles to watch the movies and understand the stories. And that’s why film form can shape an audience’s experience.

Many texts show a great depth in visual elements to portray their central ideas. “Run Lola Run” Directed by Tom Tykwer and “Next” by Lee Tamahori both dramatically portray our position within time itself and how much of a difference a day really makes. Although our lives are governed by time, these directors show us the possibility of time being manipulated, which makes the viewer ponder, “If only I could control time”. Time itself is the way the world moves on. In ‘Run Lola Run’, we see the constant visual technique of clocks re-occurring throughout the film to remind us of how time has a greater power over us than we sometimes realize and that we cannot control it.

The two texts offer readers and viewers different insights into the nature of war. Both texts use very graphic imagery which is disturbing and often macabre to illustrate the confronting reality of war.

It is evident that director Sean Penn’s film “Into the wild” successfully accentuates the concept of discovery and effectively portrays the effect the process of discovery has on individuals and the necessity for individuals to be pussed out of comfort for the effects to be meaningful. Penn utilises a plethora of cinematic and literary techniques to question the responders values, attitudes, and beliefs and challenge their preconceptions of discovery, therefore highlighting Penn’s ability to compose a text that ultimately alter individuals perspectives of the themselves and broader
Distinctively visual texts strive to introduce new ways in which an audience can interpret and explore the images we are presented with, which in turn can affect the way we make interpretations of situations we encounter in our lives. 'Lola Rennt', a German film directed by Tom Tykwer which translates to 'Run Lola Run', uses significant images and themes to present the viewer with an intriguing, thrilling film. Through the recurring use of motifs and symbols such as clocks, Tykwer places a strong emphasis on the importance of time, as the protagonist Lola is on a quest to find a solution that will save her boyfriend within the span of 20 minutes. In contrast, 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' by T. S. Eliot represents a narrator who is complacent and believes that there is 'time yet for a hundred indecisions', the complete opposite of Tykwer's representation of humanity's tendency to rush from one destination to another. Even from the very beginning of the film, time is the most significant element explored throughout 'Run Lola Run'.
