Rush #10 Crew Remake Synopsis

The synopsis of our remake is from the film "I Love You, Man." We decided to take the scene where the character Peter is going on a dinner outing with a man to get to know him because he s looking for a best friend. The man he is meeting, Doug, gets another idea about the dinner and takes it as a date. Our scene is re-creating the scene but using "L-cuts" and showing Peter realizing that this was actually a date as he is explaining the night to his wife. This is an example of unification because as he is talking he is unveiling a view of the night he hadn't thought of until he said it out loud.

Rush #9 She's Gotta Have It

For this rush topic I chose to focus on the comedic principles of Unification in relation to my anchor in "She's Gotta Have It." I chose Nola's hair because it at first captured my interest, I liked the style and through it was different. I feel like it also symbolizes the era and women being able to express themselves like they hadn't been able to before. It ties in with her choice to not pick one man and to keep her personal freedom by choosing a haircut that is short and strong. I can't seem to find a way to connect my anchor ( Nola's hair) to Unification but I think a good scene to chose is when the audience is introduced to Greer Childs, (one of her 3 boyfriends) who thinks he is " so great" but really, little does he know Nola won't be choosing him even though he thinks they are great together and that he a a great catch. It slightly brings unification into play that he is unaware of his foolishness that he isn't everything she wants.

Rush #8 Annie Hall

For this Rush I have decided to slightly tweak the rush because my remake group has finished our project, so I will use this as a "what if" instance. Our crew chose the film " I Love you Man," and I felt that the scene in which the main character ( played by Paul Rudd) meets a man for dinner, and they both have different objectives as to what they are there for. The scene in Annie Hall, which I felt could relate or come into play in our crew remake was when Annie and Alvy meet after tennis when they first start to realize they are interested in each other. This scene has similarities roughly in the context but more so in the scene's use of mis-en-scene with the camera shots and use of dialogue. Annie Hall uses her " la te da" line and Paul Rudd character uses his known " pointing, and gestures that are true to his character like Annie is in her character.
