Narrative
The opening to minutes of Kat and I's film has a non-linear structure. We chose to go down this route because it creates unanswerable questions. It allows the audience to view the film in their own personal way- there is no right or wrong way in whichever way the film is portrayed.An example of a non linear structure is 'Romeo and Juliet' written by Shakespeare. He opens his play with a prologue, instantly telling his audience that both of the main characters die, what draws the audience in is not knowing how it happened.
Having this as inspiration, we devised our clip to show the audience that the main character is hit by a car; actually showing her on the floor, then the car crash after, a simple example of a non linear structure.
Another thing that we showing in our film was three time changes. This was shown through using different effects and colours to help distinguish the difference between all of them. One being 'normal colour', second being 'black and white' and the third time change is showing two overlapping clips, one being very saturated and the other black and white.
'Normal filming colour' is normally portrayed as the regular day, the audience think of a linear structure and nothing else, assuming that it is showing the current day. Using a non linear structure and three different time changes it actually changes the meanings of each colour and how they are usually perceive/viewed to represent. This also links in the idea o wanting our audiences to have different views of what time happens when and what the whole story means.
Black and White holds connotations of 'the past', 'the olden times' and 'film noir'. In our film we are using the change in colour to help emphasis a time change, whether thats showing to past or the future. Kat and I want to show that the usual meanings of different types of colour shouldn't be used to define an effect. Our film is showing clips from the past, preset and future but the audience have to suss out which is what.
Overlaying two clips on one another, using a stabilizer on one and changing the opacity on the other helps to give a 'dream like' effect. Changing one of the clips into black and white and the other being more saturated gives he affect of an unstabilized look, which, in Cara's case in the condition she is in. It appears disallusional and unfocused which helps portray the situation that Cara is in an the was she is feeling.
