The document analyzes the opening sequence of the film "Deconstructing Harry" which uses 8 cuts within the first 7 seconds to create a choppy and chaotic effect from a single longer sequence. This technique is discussed as a way to represent the disordered mind of the character and the writer wants to recreate a similar style in their own short film about a confused boyfriend going to therapy to convey his mental state.

1. DECONSTRUCTING
HARRY
OPENING SEQUENCE

2. Within 7 seconds
of the opening
sequence 8 cuts
are used.
1 sequence is used
that has then been cut
up to create a more
choppy effect.

3. Main frames used

4. Using this effect helps create a chaotic state of
mind of the character shown. I really like this
technique to repetition and the disordered mind of
the character. I would like to create a similar effect
within my short film as this can relate to my main
character of the confused boyfriend going to
therapy.
