Dialogue/Voice over
-I
suddenly had this feeling
that everything was
connected
-one
long chain of events
that stretched all the way back before
Larkhill
It
was like a
perfect pattern
, laid out in front of me. And I realised
we're all part of it
, and all trapped by it
.
-With
so much chaos,
someone will do something stupid
.
-
Sutler
will be forced to do the only thing he knows how to do
. At which point, all V needs to do is keep his word.
[Dominoes collapse with TV footages showing conflicts between rioting citizens and the anti-riot police]Slide6
Dialogue/voice over
Purpose
To show the audience the whole situation of
V
’s plot and to reveal that the past, present, and future events are all connected.
It also foreshadows that someone is going to do something stupid and that is going to cause the chaos in
u.K.
and this is
juxtapositioned
by the shot of a finger man killing a girl.Slide7
Clean cuts
When Mr. Finch continues his dialogue, a series of shots with clean cuts were used.
There were random shots from:
the past where Guy Fawkes dies, events in
Larkhill
detention camp,
Sutler
rising in power, explosion of the old bailey and scenes of V,
evey
and civilians
to the present where a girl wearing V’s mask spraying on the slogan of the
Norsefire
gets shot by the secret police, people surround him and kill him, News of
Sutler
preparing the civil war with his soldiersTo the future Where V gets shot by Mr. Creedy.Slide8
Clean cuts
PurposeTo Reveal the
connections between the events from series of shots related to Mr. Finch’s words + Mr. Finch’s explanation through dialogue.
To get the idea of the chain reaction across to the audience not only orally but by showing and comparing with the dialogue visually, so it is easier for the audience to understand the link between all the happenings
from the
past to
the future
.Slide9
symbolism
The
first domino
that V flicked and begun the whole reaction
symbolises V himself
and
foreshadows that he is going to do something that will bring the chaos and the destruction of the corrupted government.
The last domino
left which was picked up by V
represents
Evey
which
highlights that she is going to be the decision maker and the next generation after V has done his duty.
This domino is found at the last scene beside the release switch in the train, telling the audience that
Evey was the last domino and she has to make the decision.Slide10
Close ups
There are several close ups of V setting up the dominos, one by one. At first, we do not know what he is making, but at the end, The whole dominos come together and shows the connections of each domino.
Other examples are the mask and the x sign on
Creedy’s
door.Slide11
Close ups
PurposeTo highlight its importance as a motif (i.e. mask) and symbolism (domino)
The close ups of dominos being arranged showed that each domino has an importance and that they are linking to each other.
The close up of the x highlights
Creedy’s
decision as to take part on V’s plan.
