You k...Great, I'm glad you're enjoying it!<br /><br />You know, to be honest, I went back and watched the beginning of the episode, I'm not really sure I agree with my decision to keep it there either. I was thinking maybe there was some issue with her voice over or jump cuts back and forth that pushed me to leave it there, but it seems like a pretty distinct, separate clip, albeit a short one.<br /><br />I'm sure at the time I had a reason for it, but in hindsight, not sure if that was the right way to go.Mike Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293592756387294116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700050482821782714.post-89758813305442571792015-07-30T16:54:30.570-05:002015-07-30T16:54:30.570-05:00I also agree that these Ilana scenes should be, at...I also agree that these Ilana scenes should be, at the minimum, places also in the 2004 - 2007 scenes. I would argue that they should only be in the earlier time period. I see these scenes characterized very differently then the Claire memory scenes, for a few reasons:<br /><br />– Claire is experiencing those memories for the first time, and thus so are we as the audience (which I'm assuming is one of the reasons you kept it where you did). This is characterized by certain camera tricks (Claire seeing herself on the log) and the flashes of moments that often started or ended her memory scenes.<br />– I believe the creators showed these mini-flashbacks of Ilana's conversation to make it more interesting then just showing her tell the story to the group.<br />– These "mini" flashbacks of Ilana and Jacob have the same musical and sound cues that characterize every other flashback(or sideways, forwards) in the series (the "wooshing" sounds). I could be wrong, but I don't recall the Claire memories having these sounds effects.<br /><br />Thoughts, Mike?<br /><br />By the way, I'm almost done watching Chronologically Lost!

They seem like accurate, full scenes of what happened, but they're also memories in the moment and stories being told by her to the others. <br /><br />I love how the on Island stuff is progressing so quickly this way. In just a couple of days so much has happened!Clayburn Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761616189927206084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700050482821782714.post-68852201645353911552010-10-02T21:01:44.642-05:002010-10-02T21:01:44.642-05:00it does seem a little out of place... given the pr...it does seem a little out of place... given the premise of this project.<br /><br />but the scene would be choppy without it.shauniquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024770329443107766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700050482821782714.post-63677227750618240222010-09-12T19:39:10.773-05:002010-09-12T19:39:10.773-05:00@David - It's for the same reason I chose not ...@David - It's for the same reason I chose not to put Claire's memories in chronological order when she regained her memory. This scene with Jacob and Ilana wasn't really a flashback, so much as it was a visual narrative for us as Ilana told everyone around the fire her story of how she came to be on the island.Mike Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293592756387294116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700050482821782714.post-33658590974662173032010-09-08T09:33:16.440-05:002010-09-08T09:33:16.440-05:00Why weren't Ilana's flashbacks inserted in...Why weren't Ilana's flashbacks inserted in the 2004-2007 scenes?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329372135275610769noreply@blogger.com
