Run Lola Run Reflection

What did you think of Run Lola Run? Was the film what you expected? How did it surprise you? What were three things that you noticed in the film from the unit that you learned about?

Run Lola Run was an odd but interesting film. I was expecting something close to Sherlock, which demonstrates many different types of interesting transitions. I was surprised they incorporated an animated scene  n their film. I liked the second run when Lola tumbling down the stairs in animation was following by Lola as a real character on the floor after she tumbled down the stairs. It gave a alternate reality-like twist to the story. I was also surprised they used split screens in a film that is not based off of comedy.

Three thing I noticed in the film from the editing unit:

Cross cutting: The cross cut can be found between Lola's running scene and Lola's father's interaction with the woman.

Dissolve: After the death of Lola and Manni in the first two runs, the scenes dissolved into a red, then into Lola and Manni's mysterious scene in bed. 

Eye-line matching: This was most clearly seen during the death of Manni and Lola. They both looked into each other's lifeless eyes, facing directly into the camera.
