Revisiting Breathless and La Jetée compared to my films

I decided to watch La Jetée again just to remind myself about the timing and pacing that Marker uses and I noticed some of the stills are really reminiscent of the way I have incorporated stills in my second episode of Conversations on Cultural Identity with Julia Jalyschko and the general shots that I have done in my three films, but especially Ruby’s and Julia’s.When I studied my three films, I realised that quite a few of the stills reminded me of Breathless as well.

I found this really interesting and it was a good exercise to reflect on my work and see how my research has informed my practise. I feel that these examples really show the way I have applied my research into relevant responses and in turn helped me progress with my project and develop my concept for FMP.
