Research into themes
Tragedy:
Isolation:
Isolation is a powerful force. Human beings live, work, and play in groups, and to be separate from the whole of humanity can disorient us, debilitate us, and even make us question our place in the world. Isolation is easily confused with other forms of aloneness such as loneliness and alienation, but the condition of being isolated requires that one be detached from others through reasons not in one’s control. Isolation produces devastating consequences for many people, leading to lifelong emotional problems and difficulty in relationships with others.
In our film, the isloation comes on Lolas behalf. Due to her not realising she is dead, the world around her is still carrying on as normal yet she doesnt understand this. She thinks her parents dont care for her and her boyfriend has betrayed her. However, she doesnt realise the true meaning to their arguments/conversations.
Death/grief
Death is a theme which can completely change the emotions and concept of a film. Death can cause extreme grief within stories and cause the audience to react in a certain way. In most circumstances, the audience feel sympathetic or upset towards a characters death in a drama film.
In our film, Lola is the protagonist who is unaware of her own death. This causes her parents, friends and boyfriend to grieve over her loss. Her parents aren't grieving too well due to constantly arguing with each other. Her boyfriend is dealing with the grief through counseling and her best friend didn't deal with the grief and resulted to death instead.
Supernatural:
This theme is something that usually relies on spirits/ghosts to flow the story. Within our story, Lola is the supernatural event that happens in our film due to her being a dead spirit. The events that happen around her are happening in real life time, yet she doesn't understand this. Her best friend, who took her life, is also a supernatural spirit as she is trying to help/guide Lola into understanding her death. This is very confusing for Lola as her friend doesn't tell her straight away but lets her discover it for herself.
