Rune Commentary – Page 5
April 6th, 2014 |
Page 5. Justin is lurking nearby to make sure Jalina doesn’t actually kill Rune – he’s sworn to protect him, after all. I love how his deadpanned line, “I’ll get the horses,” has so much unspoken “I told you so!”
Rune is painfully naive in this scene; he thinks if he loves her, of course she’ll love him.
I have to admit, Jalina (while an interesting character, in my opinion) is in this story to be the Rosaline to Rune’s Romeo. To setup for Arklomene’s curse, Rune needed to be in love already.
Notice how the camera switches between medium shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups. This technique serves the same purpose as in film: it adds visual interest.
