Deconstruction of The Notebook Kiss.

Posted by: bethanyHolly on: November 25, 2009

The two main characters go rowing on a nearby lake in the morning and reminisce about their summer together. He shows her a part of the creek where dozens of swans have gathered, explaining that they will eventually leave when the summer ends. As a rain storm starts Noah rows to shore, where Allie (the main female character), after getting a good look at him in the rain, demands to know why Noah never wrote to her. After Noah tells her he wrote to her every day for one year (here he emphasises this by saying 365), he says their romance was never over and that it still isn’t over, and they share a passionate kiss, before making love.

This kissing scene is very passionate and ‘in the moment’. In this the mood is suddenly uplifted to high intensity and is very sexy. As this is a very well none romantic film you know that thousands of people sit at home and there hearts are goign pitter patter as they watch this.

Again there is shot reverse shot so the audience is able to capture the mood and the two characters anger and furstration with each through their facial expressions. The camera then goes to a close up of Allie (The main female character) and then the main male female character walks into this shot, giving the feel that he is saving her, getting her back. He then embraces her and lifts her up and we got to a profile close up so the audience can capture the moment.

Throughout this whole scene it is pooring with rain and it is quite dark as well. The tone of the lighting i feel sets the mood and the rain makes it more passionate,  amorousness and infactuated.

I feel that we could use and take a lot of techniques from this scene, its a very moving and effective kiss.
