5th ROAR post

Characters minimized
In the film Holly, Len Fernan, the mom, Bruian, Samuel, Ruanna, Clarissa, Ray and Ruth were more minimized in the film. The film focused mostly on the father and Susie watching the earth from her Heaven. The character that was focused alot with Susie was Lindsey and Jack. Jack in the film was seen in addition to Lindsey as the person who never let go. lindsey in the film showed more affection for her sister that was not described that much in the book.

Characters emphazised
Jack, Lindsey, and Mr.Harvey were emphazised alot i nthe film more then anythign else. Jack was demonstrated as the main character that took part in the reason why the end of the movie was hwo it was. Jack didnt let the investigation go as everyone else gave up. Lindsey like her father was very observative and was willign to do anything to find out what happend to her sister. She was emphazised alot by how her and her sister were with eachother. Mr.Harvey and his life was shown alot in the film asw it was not so much in the book.

Camera POV
The point of view in the film shown the most was 1st person since it was all Susie's thougths in her head and what was seen through her eyes. In the begining there was 3rd person pov because she was alive so it was pretty much someone else sayign her stories. Mosto f the film was from SUsies point of view and how she felt about the whole situation.

Reoccuring Images
Images that happend alot in the film was blank when the settign or part of the movie changed. Susie crying, Mr.Harvey standing around; most of the film was diffrent images of Susies world and what was happening after she died.

Use of Music & Sound Effect
In the film there was music at the end, only when Susie first enterd the other world, and when she enterd the earth in Ruth's body. The film didnt have many music moments as most of them actually do but I still liked it. Just like many other films this film used soudn effects when somethign exciting or itnerestign was occuring. The sound effects in this film came alot when there was a important scene happening. For example in the film when Lindsey sneeaked into mr.Harveys hosue there was liek a expense type soudn that went off.

One Shot
A shot that caught my attention completely was when Lindsey was puttingthe piece of floor down slowly as Mr.Harvey felt her in the house. The extreme close up shot of Lindsey's fingers was incredible as a clock was ticking, and there was liek a quick flashback to Mr.Harvey waiting for the little tiny noise she made. This scene was crazy and had a expense sound that had me more and more excited to see what was going to happen. During this part the film had my attention completely.


* The book is way better & many thigns where changed. In addition to this many parts were not even mentioned in the film that where emphasized in the book.
