Run Lola Run Presentation Critique



I. Interpretation of the film as it related to your assigned section and use of film language.
My assigned section for Run Lola Run was the costume analysis. There aren't many film terms related to analyzing characters' costumes. I focused on the main three characters of the film. I was descriptive in what the character's unique costume style and how their clothing creates meaning through its depiction of characterization.

II. Strengths of your presentation
If I were to grade own oral presentation, I would give myself a 21. I believe I was detailed and insightful, to a certain extent, in my costume analysis. I explained incisively how meaning is created through the use of my descriptive film language. I also connected my examples to the film as a whole, applying my interpretations to the film's theme and motifs.

III. Challenges and Areas for Improvement
Based on the feedback from my classmates, I realize that I still need to work on my presentation skills. I need to speak louder and act confidently. I believe that I could have gone more in depth with the director's intent and how costumes are significant in a sociocultural context.
