FRANCES HA - CLOSING SCENE
PERFORMANCE
Trust falls
Turns out she was doing it for work
A life of privilege AND play
Minimal POC within the film
Most are just reduced to unnamed helpers for Frances
Very white film
Frances choreographing instead of dancing
Instead of achieving her dream as a central dancer, she has found complacency in a secondary role but she's still happy
Frances and Sophie's look
A wholesome moment that the audience are STITCHED and SUTURED in the centre of
MISE EN SCENE
Has finally let her hair down
More accepting and confident in herself
Frances wears business clothes
Maturity + growth
Black clothes, blends into the background
She's found her place
The dance
Woman in the beginning starts with two people, then 3 people, then follows a similar trajectory to how Frances did
Frances expressing herself
Us watching Frances' friends watch Frances
We're now part of Frances' circle - we're in an ALLEGIANCE with her
Reunion with Ben
Positioned higher, she's rewarded by the film and Ben is still a beta male
Implications of romance, especially with Ben in the proposing position and Frances with her thighs out
Heteronormative: her quest for independence is rewarded with dependence
IDEOLOGICALLY REWARDED
The final shot
Changing identity and conforming to take financial control
Financial stability through the American Dream (for a privileged white woman)
CINNAMONTOGRAPHY
CU of Frances
Space without Sophie, feeling empty
Physically SUTURED after spending 90 minutes with her
Camera is framed behind a wall
She's on another level, better than us
Frances in the centre of the frame
Metaphorically and literally the centre of attention
Long take between Ben and Frances
Heightens the awkward tension between the two
Small zoom into Frances
Taking control of the frame and her life, now making good decisions
The audience can now choose to be in an ALLEGIANCE with her by judging the choices she made throughout the film
EDITING
A montage, just like the beginning
A perfect day for mature ending Frances
SOUND / MUSIC
Drowned out diegetic sound effects
Not as immersed as the audience would like to be, audience
consciously
recognising this
V EFFECT
Old timey music throughout the montage
More sophisticated than before, but still jovial and playful
Classy waltz music in the final scene
She has moved onto high society
Heightened by her teacher talking critically about her performance
SPECTATORSHIP
