diagram revision

our class discussion led me to revise the diagram as follows.

for project 2, i chose the guardian angel scene in the 2001 french film directed by jean-pierre jeunet. the scene begins with amelie walking in slow motion across a bridge. its a moment of inspiration and clarity as she has just successfully delivered her first act as guardian angel. for her second act, she whisks a blind man up for a wonderfully disorienting walk through the street. the scene is spliced with focused clips of details of the journey. the director frames the faces of the pair as the camera moves fast with the gait of amelie as she pulls the man along on her arm. the scene comes to an end as the camera sweeps up into the air and comes straight down on the blind man who is thrilled with his adventure and simultaneously inspired.
