Parallel Editing In Run Lola Run

177 Words1 Page

In the movie Run Lola Run, a lot of editing concepts were use more than once. One of them that I specifically notice was parallel editing. For example when Lola leaves her father’s work empty handed, she begins to run to meet Mani. As time begin to run out you see three different shots on the screen of Mani, Lola and the ticking clock. You can hear the ticking clock as Lola ask Mani to wait for her. Although they’re together on the screen, they are apart by a few seconds. You can see that when Lola gets close to the supermarket and you see a long shot of Mani. Another concept was the graphic match at the end of the first timeline. When the red bag was falling in the air, to Lola red phone falling. Also there were a lot of eye line match. For

    However, on the whole Ghost World shows a great deal of editing skill. Editing is not only used in the film as a method of joining events and creating a convincing timeline, but is also used as a tool to develop characters and emphasize different themes in the story. However, because the entire film is not treated with the same attention to detail, weak edit points stand out like eyesores. Yet, while hindering its overall effectiveness as a film, it is also this possession of both successful and unsuccessful editing that makes Ghost world such an excellent example of what a difference good editing can make in a production.

  • Analysis of German Film Run Lola Run

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    Run Lola Run, is a German film about a twenty-something woman (Lola) who has 20 minutes to find $100,000 or her love (Manni) will be killed. The search for the money is played through once with a fatal ending and one would think the movie was over but then it is shown again as if it had happened ten seconds later and changed everything. It is then played out one last time. After the first and second sequence, there is a red hued, narrative bridge. There are several purposes of those bridges that affect the movie as a whole. The film Run Lola Run can be analyzed by using the four elements of mise-en scene. Mise-en-scene refers to the aspects of film that overlap with the art of the theater. Mise-en-scene pertains to setting, lighting, costume, and acting style. For the purpose of this paper, I plan on comparing the setting, costume, lighting, and acting style in the first red hued, bridge to that of the robbery scene. Through this analysis, I plan to prove that the purpose of the narrative bridge in the film was not only to provide a segue from the first sequence to the second, but also to show a different side of personality within the main characters.

  • Comparison of Original Blade Runner film and Directors Cut

    1949 Words  | 4 Pages

    Choosing a movie, do you take notice to whether it is a Director’s cut, the original version, or simply grab the chosen movie and pop it in taking no notice of which version is in hand? Is there even a difference? Because a director’s cut is simply a version of a movie with various cuts made by the director’s choosing, if watching both versions of Ridley Scott’s, “Blade Runner,” the subtle differences in several of the scenes will become apparent, although the scene layout and plot remains the same throughout both versions.

  • Run Lola Run

    "Every second of every day you are faced with a decision that can change your life. The difference between life or death can be decided in a split second" (IMDb). Run Lola Run is an excellent 80-minute German film written/directed by Tom Tykwer and edited by Mathilde Bonnefoy that has a four part "What if" style genre. The movie just throbs with kinetic energy mixed with a case of Monster Energy Drinks. It is so fast-paced that it is like a roller coaster that is unstable with each twist and turn. Run Lola Run will captivate your mind and spirit with beautiful and free form flashes of anticipation, panic, passion, desperation, hesitation, fear and fervor that when all combined is quite invigorating and will significantly exhausts its viewers. The formula editor Mathilde Bonnefoy uses to manage the complex rhythms in this film not only dazzles viewers with the pacing, but it also maintains an extensive focus on what Lola is doing and why she is doing it.

    Arnheim’s body of theory suggests that the necessity of human intervention to implement plot, tropes, and culturally legible symbols raises a film to a higher level than a mere copy of reality, and that this interpretation and expression of meaning is “a question of feeling” or intuition on the part of the filmmaker. (“Film Theory and Criticism” 283) One consequence of effective directorial intervention is that differences in speed, stops and starts, and what would otherwise be jarring gaps in continuity can be accepted by viewers, because if the essentials of reality are present, th...

  • The Importance Of Editing In The Film Amélie

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    Editing plays a vital role in the film Amélie. Jean-Pierre Jeunet uses editing to express the characters emotions and personalities throughout the movie. Without editing, this film would not be able to present a good message to the audience. For example, editing is important when the director adds animations such as the pounding hearts and the talking stuffed animals to emphasize the characters’ emotions within a particular scene. The film uses a mixture of continuity editing and discontinuity editing. For example, continuity editing is present in the scene when Améli calls the phone booth in the park and Nino answers. The two characters have a conversation with the camera transferring back and forth and they speak to each other. There is a

  • Run Lola Run Distinctively Visual Analysis

    817 Words  | 2 Pages

    Distinctively visual refers to the actions of a composer to employ specific visuals that effectively represent that composer’s particular message through imagery. Time is a constant force that continually challenges individuals and in turn is a significant factor in resulting future actions. This notion has been displayed in through the cinematic styling of Tom Tykwer in his post-Cold War film "run Lola run”. Comparatively in the still shot poster of the iconic film "back to the future", time is also a significant theme depicted in this text. However unlike run Lola run, the choice of format in addition to its title alludes to the human desire to revert the past and individuals actions in order to change the future. Although being created in different decades and through distinctly different visual techniques, both directors identify the theme of time and portray the different ideas that this theme suggests. “This picture is pure camera: motion and emotion, no other medium can convey those things

    In the anime, Attack on Titan, the director is able to create and blend different master plots: vengeance by visual editing that places flashbacks at important moments inside the story and camera angles; hero’s quest by visual cuts and transitions from different character points of view; underdog by changing camera angles. Finally, but not least temptation through the use of sound editing with actions scenery and coloring. Narrative elements used by the director inside a film can change the master plot at any critical moment inside a story, elaborating a different story that can vary depending on our way of interpreting and analyzing the world around us. The director may have a general message that he wants to convey through narrative elements as it was previously stated, but we as the audience have the last word in what the film represents even though we obtain the main idea through the manipulation of the narrative elements used by the director.

  • Summary

    One of the first points that Johnson brings up is Multi Threading. Since the early 2000’s, many shows have taken advantage of this device. Shows such as “The Sopranos”, “24”, and “Lost” all take advantage of multi threading. Just to prove the point that this is what the people want, all three of these shows were very popular. In fact, they all lasted for at least 6 seasons each, with “24” going for 8 seasons. The idea of multi threading is to create multiple plots all going on in a single episode. Yet, at the end of the episode usually all of the plots become tied into each other. This causes the viewer to think ahead of time. It leaves you wondering what is going to happen later in the episode, or even what could happen down the line. Often, so many subtle things are said that the viewer may not even realize what was said or done was important until an event occurs.
