Nudity should be for everyone like summer.

In the final scene of Cleo 5 to 7 Cleo and the man are walking together in the park everything is calm and easy going. Then, all of a sudden they take a turn and they are on the street with cars moving all around them. This is similar to what we want to do with the scenes before the car gets moving and  once the car gets started. When the car is still in the parking lot the shots that we took are more still. But, once the car is moving there are quick turns around corners and the footage is a little shaky. When I watched it a even got a little car sick. The quick turns represent that feeling of awkwardness when you have a moment with a person that changes your relationship forever. You don't know where you are and you don't even know how it came to be.

I think the scenes that happen with Linas and the man that asks him for a ride are very similar to the circumstances in the scene that we chose to work on. It's an awkward car ride and nobody knows what to say. Sometimes it's better if you don't say anything at all. In the scenes where Linas and the man are in the car there are several shots where the camera is on the man for a long while, the man isn't doing or saying anything, then there is a quick shot back to Linas to show how he feels about this strange man in the car. The longer shot on the man doing nothing enhances the awkwardness. Also Lina uses a back shot so we can see both of the men at the same time. It's a great shot because we can see the spacial relationship between the two men.
