Donnie Darko is a good example of the influence for this film as it is an icredibly surreal film with a complicated and deep story line
Donnie darko - scene
Frank the rabbit in this sequence has a strange distorted voice, this is a useful effect in making him seem less real, creepier and is the sort of thing that would be a useful effect in our sequence.
The dark lighting and the very still camera makes the whole scene stranger. The still camera makes it seem calm but the voice and the monstrosity of the rabbit contrasts greatly giving a more eery effect to the scene.
The way that the character of Donnie doesn't seem bothered by this is also unnerving and shows alot about his character.
Narrative wise, the way Donnie follows Franks voice is reminiscent of how the white rabbit in alice in wonderland or the bug in pans labyrinth leads the characters away from home. The following of a voice without seeing where it comes from adds some tension to the scene at wanting to know where it came from.Labels: Ideas, Inspirations, Vonnie |
