Run Lola Run Module A: Experience Through Language Elective 2:Distinctively Visual
Module A: Experience Through Language Communication How the conventions of textual forms, language modes and media shape meaning How our perceptions of and relationships with others and the world are shaped in written, spoken and visual language
Module A: Experience Through Language Distinctively Visual Image: How the forms and language of different texts create images, affect interpretation and shape meaning Images: the images we see Imagery: the images we visualise Bush all around – bush with no horizon, for the country is flat. No ranges in the distance. The bush consists of stunted, rotten native apple-trees. No undergrowth. Nothing to relieve the eye save the darker green of a few she-oaks which are sighing above the narrow, almost waterless creek.
Distinctly Visual POINTS TO CONSIDER: • Lola as a superhuman (avatar) who rebels against father & society • An electronic, virtually real punk Berlin • Chaos of possibilities • Plurality of viewpoints • Flashbacks & snapshots of the future • Split screen & jump cuts heighten tension • Pastiche of 35mm colour and monochrome film, video, and animation • Symbolism: close-up of clocks ticking towards high-noon = fate • Non-diegetic sound: frenetic, pulsating techno soundtrack
Distinctively Visual Ideas and Meaning • We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time - T.S.Eliot, ‘Little Gidding’ “The journey not the arrival matters” T.S. Eliot. • Coincidence as the arbiter of destiny - three alternative versions • Crime and its effect on essentially innocent individuals • Time as an unforgiving concept
