Can two people who live on opposite sides of the world have anything in common? This is the story of two parallel lives, one in New York and one in Paris and the journey that will lead them together. Told simultaneously through the eyes of both characters.
-J.W. Griffiths
Mise en Scene
- The same scene is shot at different time so the lighting is different as most of it is outdoors
- The woman at the end of the scene is dressed nicely, looking both casual and smart whereas the man has pretty much chosen to wear quite smart clothes
- Nothing particularly extravagant is shown in the clip just normal everyday stuff
Sound
- The music throughout the clip is parallel to the sound as it is mysterious to begin with and gets less mysterious as the clip itself starts to make more sense
- Alarm sound at the beginning of the clip shows us what time of day it is
- The music is slow and calm when all we can see is clouds to show the beauty of the world
- Diegetic noises such as the curtains at the beginning and the sounds of the planes and the trains have been used to make it seem more realistic
Camera Angles & Movement
- Close ups used on things such as shower head and boiling eggs etc. this gives us a deeper look into them as people and their lives
- Long shots used to show the scenery and nature
- Tilt shot used as they both look up from their own maps to see each other stood there
- The two sides of the clip are shot at eye height so that it looks like we're seeing the world directly from their perspective
- The shots have been matched up so that for example the train comes in on the right side of the screen and goes out to the left when in fact these are different trains, different occasions and different times entirely
