This post will focus on the arrangement of the film and how I cut my sequences in order to achieve its final look.

For the narrative, I jumped back and forth between the 2 shots constantly in order to give a more poetic look for the film. Silence played a big role in this short experiment. The absence of sound give it more of a dramatic visual effect, intensifying the fight. We don’t know what they’re arguing about, and is it really important that we know?

After reviewing my final export and bringing it to the class lecturer for feedback, I realized that the narrative of the story could be better structured and produce a clearer meaning to the film. Cutting on “sorry” when my actress was writing on the mirror made it seem like she was sorry for being the victim when my intentions were for her to say sorry for what she was about to do. This simple mistake in the narrative could mislead audiences who are watching the film, making it seem like she was the one at fault. This in results doesn’t make the character sympathetic, but instead cause confusion to the audiences.

My intentions for the film was to give audience’s their own interpretation of the film, questioning if she was going through with the suicide or not, while at the same time show her motives on why she would carry out such a thing.

Cut on action- this were the guidelines that I used for every cut I made in this editing. For every action that was happening in the fight, I cut another scene in order to show a clearer difference between both timelines. This in result create a quick form storytelling between both present and past.

All these concepts combined in to one experimental film resulted in to a film that I was surprised by.
