EXERCISES 1
WEEK 1 - Editing video
1. Which part is act 1, act 2, act 3 respectively? Describe each act with ONE paragraph only.
· Act 1 -Setup
The film begins gradually, in a deliberate pace, with an icy, stern
color palette. The protagonist, as if ensnared by some experience or
lost event, leads us through a lonely, solitary existence.
Establishing the emotional void of the protagonist, sense of space,
and state are the principal aims of this act.
· Act 2 - Confrontation
The hero embarks on an inner journey following being provoked by a
particular event (e.g., viewing a particular location or person). The
film's beauty becomes abstract and symbolic. The protagonist is
subjected to emotions, memories, and even fantasies. The inner
conflict of the character is made evident since emotional highs and
lows are more apparent despite intentional slowness.
· Act 3 - Resolution
The hero finally confronts their inner pain after a sequence of
subdued but profound psychological shifts. There is no overt
"solution" put forth in the resolution, and yet we sense acceptance or
liberation. It is an emotional purging, not a solution to the plot.
1. Which part is act 1, act 2, act 3 respectively? Describe each act with ONE paragraph only.
· Act 1- Establishing
We see Evelyn, a stressed-out Chinese-American mom overwhelmed by
the exigencies of life. Her life is as chaotic as a jigsaw puzzle
because her tax troubles are intensified by the strained
relationship she shares with her husband and daughter. That is,
until she is pulled into a multiverse by a parallel universe version
of her husband. From there, the film shifts from domestic drama to
action and science fiction silliness.
· Act 2 - Confrontation
Evelyn is forced to journey through other worlds, in which she
encounters various incarnations of herself, including a pop singer,
a giant rock, and a hot dog stand vendor. Her inner resentments,
decision-making anxiety, and troubled parent-child relationship are
exposed in this seemingly chaotic and comic scene. She discovers
that her own denial and avoidance of existence are the true "enemy,"
rather than the outside Jobu Tupaki.
· Act 3 - Resolution
Evelyn decides to combat nihilism with "kindness," learns to
relinquish control, and grows to understand and accept her
daughter's ideals. She finally breaks through to her daughter and
affirms her unstable but true personality in the tearful scene
outside the IRS office.
