Day 5: What I learned …

[Julie Scorziell]

WHAT I LEARNED:

I learned that it’s okay to have a final scene that looks back and also looks forward, reassuring the audience that everything will be okay with the main character as he moves into eternity and that the audience will be okay when they reach the same point in their life. The scene starts with a closeup of the dead body and ends with a far-off overhead shot of the town and countryside.

I learned some smart techniques in drawing the audience in simply with dialogue. I also learned how to cleverly ‘tie things off’ using contrast and irony, both in imagery and dialogue. It also made me look closer at themes and how you want to ‘leave an audience’.
