“Run Lola Run” is a post-modern text using stylised animation as a turning point in its three part narrative following Lola the protagonists, attempts beat the clock to get a hundred marks for her boyfriend. Whereas Medusa is free form which reflects the feelings and emotions of medusa allowing us to see the world of her which Dufy created. Tykwer conveys a strong independent protagonist in “Run Lola Run”. This is shown by the way she dresses and how she talks to Mani on the phone in the beginning of the movie. She wears cloths that seem almost masculine such as big combat boots, khaki pants with a belt and a Singlet, plus her hair is dyed a fiery red; a symbol of determination and independence.
What is a convex lens? A convex lens is a lens that will bend the light toward the center of the lens, since one or both sides of the glass curve out. 3. What three components make up a film camera? Define each part.
Even from the very beginning of the film, time is the most significant element explored throughout 'Run Lola Run'. In the opening sequence, the viewer observes the large, monster-shaped pendulum of a clock swinging from side to side across the screen. Accompanied by the diegetic sound of a clock ticking rapidly, the sequence implies the importance of the motif. The viewer observes another clock in Lola's bedroom when she runs from it, a clock outside Manni's phone booth, and Lola constantly asks other characters for the time as she runs. Also included in the opening sequence is the use of a simplistic animated short, which becomes a recurring technique used to further emphasise Lola's urgency and one-track mindset.

When discussing the FRAME, keep in mind the so-called RULE OF THIRDS: The screen image may be divided into three sets of three units—top, middle, bottom; left, middle, right; and foreground, middleground, background. Classical or conventional cinema grammar typically attributes specific qualities to each section of the frame. For example, the right and the foreground are often equated with power,
The Idea of the Butterfly effect or Chaos theory is a hugely emphasized feature of both films. Some of Lola’s actions throughout her 3 runs cause Major changes in others’ lives. From ‘Causing’ a woman to steal someone’s baby to winning the lottery just by running past the woman in a different way. Tom Tykwer uses Snapshot sounds and images as a technique to tell the story of each person Lola has affected throughout the film after she has interacted with them. This happens for these people 3 times each throughout the 3 runs and all of their fates were changed due to a simple choice Lola made when she met them.
The other role that females take is the evil, jealous, vindictive woman who wants revenge, evident with Cruella De Vil and the ‘evil step mothers’ which are shown in many of the Disney films. Bravery is only achieved by men or becoming a man such as in Mulan. How is this a healthy message for Disney’s target, the younger audience? PROJECTOR: “as they continue to find new audiences in each upcoming generation, it seems reasonable to assume that these films have more than simply a nostalgic appeal: they must in some way, still hold relevance in modern audience” Davis 19 (Quote) Presenter: Yet people argue that Disney films are only fairy tales and are not even based on reality. However they do target young children, in which they form views from their surroundings as they are growing up.
This is seen in the shot of the palm trees where they transform into crossed arms at similar angles. Lynch uncannily uses the cinema as a means of conveying the moods, mysteries and carnivalesque wildness of one’s dreams bringing the oneiric content into an open space for its audience (Bulkely, p.50). The film ventures into Diane’s state of mind via dreams and memories, functioning as an act of wish fulfillment in aspects of love, guilt, and career. Mulholland Drive is furnished with movement and mystery that allows its audience to engage with a new world. This world created transforms
In addition to the prescribed text “Run Lola Run”, the famous image “the burning monk” by Malcolm brown and the short film “Voice over” by Martin Rosete are also explored. When placed under large amounts of pressure an individual’s love for someone may be the only thing pushing them to succeed but unfortunately love may not always prevail. We must be aware of this harsh reality in order to function on a rational level. Through close up camera shots and the duologue between Manni and Lola speaking on the phone the composer skilfully portrays the desperation of Lola as she makes the choice to help Manni raise 100 00 marks in 20 minutes to effectively save his life. The composer reveals to the audience that Lola’s deep love for Manni overpowers her ability to think rationally as she willinging agrees to obtaining such a large sum of money with no idea how she will achieve this goal.
The reader’s interpretation of these characters is how Nick sees them and describes them, which is why his protagonist role is very important in the way in which the story is told throughout the novel. Also from Nick’s narrative, in chapter 1we see that unlike Nick, Tom is very arrogant and dishonest at the dinner party, advancing racist comments, and also having public affairs. We get the impression that Daisy is very emotional and tries to appear “shallow” as she says that she hopes her baby daughter will be fool, because “that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful fool.” This is said because of the unattractive reality in the East Egg that Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan, is having an affair. In the final part of chapter 1, as Nick arrives home from the dinner party he sees Gatsby for the first time, reaching out at a distant green light at the end of a dock. At this moment in the story, Nick does not know the significance of this green light and what it represents, which gives Nick another reason to be intrigued by Gatsby, as well as his source of
Additionally, Jack refers to Pam as his “little girl,” symbolizing his fear of her growing up and becoming engaged. These hidden metaphors represent the deeper meaning behind the seemingly hilarious story. The relationship between film and metaphor is quite noticeable, especially with the growing film industries of today. Directors wish to produce thought-provoking films that encourage viewers to look beyond the obvious and interpret multiple possible meanings and themes. In the film Meet the Parents, Greg Focker is put to the ultimate test to prove his love for Pam Byrnes and earn her fathers approval for her hand in marriage.
