Travelling Shots: Travel, Movement and Empire in Orlando | Sophie Mayer |
Research for a paper on Orlando\'s relocation of Woolf\'s Constantinople to Khiva, exploring the subtexts of imperial history and the significance of travel for the film (and the production). "endings are beginnings": the novel is circular, beginning and ending with "home." The film is also circular, but moves on from the "clinging to the past" that Potter notes. For Woolf, Home is the "Great House" (and England), which Orlando possesses despite her change of sex, a reversal of the gendered laws that deprived Vita Sackville-West of Knole. But Sackville-West was also a traveller, and travel writer, and the novel is full of constant motion (at least until Orlando becomes female). The film suggests the novel's subtext of change as constant. |

An investigation of the intertexuality in Orlando | James Anderson | 03/12/2011 17:10 | ||
Intertextuality in Orlando | Emily Spyt | Potter says that ‘ in order to keep faith with Virginia Woolf’s use of real time ending the novel, the film had to end when it was completed-1992.’ Potter does this successfully as not only does she take on this idea the ending is not formed until everything else is shot. Although the film ending and the novel endings are different Potter loyally attempts to ‘think myself in Virginia Woolf’s consciousness’ and create a appropriate ending that Woolf herself might have written if she had lived until 1992. | 03/12/2011 17:51 | |

Intertextuality in Orlando, in what ways are the aims of Woolf and Potterthe same/different? | Sophie Durham | An exploration into the ways in which Woolf and Potter construct their versions of Orlando and how these show similar motives as authors, or perhaps how these motives might differ, possibly due to the fact that they use different mediums to tell the same story. | 08/12/2011 12:57 | |

Orlando | Klara Hallen |
Intertextual nature of Orlando The final comment about how she intends to begin and end in the present is interesting because I think it is relevant to every part of the process. While adapting a work, one has to think of all the different elements that go into it but ultimately the most important to consider the context that you are bringing it into. It was a smart move on Potter\'s part by bringing the film up to the present day since this is what she has done with the work. |
08/12/2011 14:11 | |
Gender & Identity - Intertextuality in Orlando | William Innes | An exploration of intertextuality in Orlando through themes of gender and identity. I have chosen this approach as the most obvious, yet complex and interesting theme in Sally Potter's and Virginia Woolf's work. Same person/Same story. No difference. Just a different sex/Just a different medium. | 08/12/2011 14:23 | |
Orlando: Book to Movie | Andrew White | As part of my Film Studies course, I will be using various strands of investigation into how a very personal piece of literature can be re-moulded into an equally personal film project. At the moment I have no clear strategy but as I work my way through this domain, I will attempt to make a coherent pathway that will enable me (and anyone else foolish enough to tread in my footprints) to make some sense of the transference from paper to celluloid | 08/12/2011 14:40 | |

Intertextuality in \'Orlando\' | Sarah Aksland |
Looking at Sally Potter\'s film version of Virginia Woolf\'s novel, \'Orlando,\' specifically regarding it\'s intertextual nature. When Tilda Swinton and Sally Potter were being interviewed at the BFI, they both talked about how passionate they were about creating Orlando the film, and they hoped that they could replicate the way the novel made them feel and succesfully represent this on film. As discussed in a seminar, one person's 'feelings' about a novel can vastly differentiate from another's (usually hindering the audience's enjoyment because they did not feel the same), so, when translating a medium from novel to film, which idea will resonate with all? Potter has chosen the ideas 'death' and 're-birth.' What is also interesting, is that a screenwriter will usually begin a script perhaps not totally aware of their controlling idea. Therefore, is the key to succesfully adapting a novel to film finding the 'controlling idea' of a novel and reproducing it cinematically? |

does life really have a happy ending? | Klea Villanueva | I wonder if Sally Potter is a big fan of happy endings... The endings in all three feature films (Orlando, The Tango Lesson and YES) are quite happy. It seems that in all of them the character has found something that makes them feel in balance with themselves. Orlando, who in my opinion seems to represent both men and women throughout history, seems to be in such peace at the end of the movie. Sally finally finds herself in Tango with Pablo's help, and in YES, She becomes a different woman | 08/12/2011 16:26 | |

The Living Archive The great joy of archives is the way that they allow you to see behind the facade, to bring alive the thinking that resulted in the documents. For this reason, I find notes such as this irresistible. In their immediacy, they help you get into the mind of the artist more than the work itself. The finished painting, book or film is as much a process of hiding as revealing. But if you come across notes such as these in an archive, then you begin to get that wonderful sense of being able to see all. |

The Shooting Process - an example - scene 35 | Sarah Atkinson | Media Academic | This pathway aims to provide insights into the complexities of creating, constructing and shooting a single shot. As you can see from the list of items in the pathway, a plethora of materials are generated for each shot which can relate to their creative vision (directors notes), their logistical planning (schedules), the tracking and logging of materials (shots, takes and reel numbers, continuity), their previewing (video assist footage) and their documenting (photographic images). I attempt to provide a contextual dialogue for each of the items in the pathway, explaining their function and their relationship to one another. I have also attempted to order the items procedurally to demonstrate the off/on set workflow. | 13/02/2012 11:31 |

The Flow of Time | Kwasi Appiah | Student | As Tilda Swinton says of Orlando in the Introduction of the 2012 edition: "Where I once assumed it was a book about eternal youth, I now see it as a book about growing up, about learning to live". Sally Potter's presentation of time movement and Swinton's portrayal of a maturing Orlando is crucial in capturing this element that, whilst not ageing, he/she is growing as a person; becoming wiser. | 29/03/2012 01:22 |
Dealing with Expressions of Emotions | Kwasi Appiah | Student | Sally Potter constantly revises her portrayal of Orlando's emotions throughout the development of the film.

The Idea of Gender as a Performance | James Kruglinski | Student |
Both Virginia Woolf and Sally Potter are interested in exploring the duality of gender through the story of Orlando. Is a person's sex something that is fixed? Are men and women really that different? Perhaps gender is not something that has already been predetermined. Rather, Woolf and Potter propose that it's an ideology “that has been reinforced by tradition, inheritance and convention”. Both the novel and the film use Orlando’s sex change as an opportunity to explore and discover the answer to this issue. |

Emotions speak louder than words | Jamie Pearsen | Student | In Orlando, there are many extremes of emotions that are witnessed and experienced. Throughout Orlando's life events and transformations, his / her emotions on screen help convey the internal feelings and thoughts behind the visual information. Orlando appears to exprience deep happiness in some moments, and deep melancholy in others. Overall, as Sally Potter stated in one of her assets I have included in my pathway, "The unifying principle is the force of the character of Orlando who propels us believably through time and history in the search for life and a love." | 10/04/2012 13:52 |
Gestation in Orlando | Kristen Bucaria | Student | These assets that I've linked together in this pathway show that the whole film is meant to be a gestation period until the end (the present) when Orlando and her child are born. Rather than showing actual birth though, Sally Potter decided to follow "BIRTH" with a story draft for a publisher to read. The draft in the film is presumably a culmination of the entire story of Orlando's life, that we just saw. We might think also about the film as (figuratively) Sally Potter's child, based on these findings. | 15/04/2012 12:43 |
Orlando's Look Directly At The Camera | Stephanie Hirlemann | Student | I compiled various assets about how Orlando looks at the camera. While I was watching the film, I noticed that it was a specific stylistic choice. By sifting through the documents, this knowing look from Orlando meant to address the viewers. In Sally Potter's commentary, she explains the direct look exemplifies a “kind of release… a kind of flying out of the historical period right into the present moment." These random moments when Orlando looks at the camera brings a sense of knowing and feeling that the viewers can relate to. | 15/04/2012 13:34 |
Significance of Sleep | Melissa Fox | Student | Deep sleep shows up twice in Orlando. The first time, Orlando sleeps for days after Sascha leaves him. The second time, Orlando wakes up after a deep sleep and has transformed into a woman. What is the significance of sleep for Orlando? Does it symbolize rebirth when Orlando has begun a new stage in life? | 15/04/2012 15:48 |
"Falling" In Love | Madison Stevens | Student |
Throughout the film, Sally Potter brings the audience\\\'s attention to moments when characters fall to their knees. On one hand, falling symbolizes the recurring theme of the pain of literally having fallen in and out of love, but It also represents the film\\\'s cyclical structure. Just as Orlando\\\'s immortal life is on an endless loop, humanity\\\'s need for love and the inevitability of suffering there in also exists on an endless and eternally recurring loop. [[Read this pathway from the bottom up; the last asset to the one directly bellow this]] |
15/04/2012 16:07 |
Necessity of Color Pallets within Orlando | Ali Schutz | Film Studies Student | Using different color pallets within costumes and set designs help to portray the different epochs the film takes the watcher through. Through these different examples, one sees gold, reds, and oranges within the Elizabethan period and then later on towards the end of the film, one can view only blues and greens as Orlando enters into the Victorian period. The use of different colors helps guide the watcher throughout the vast amount of time traveled in Orlando. | 16/04/2012 11:10 |
Running in ORLANDO | Sian Torp | Student | There are several points throughout the film when Orlando takes off running. It occurs several times at several different points in the film which caused me to raise suspicion... is there meaning behind the running scenes? Upon further analysis of each running scene I discovered that each is different; however, they all share similar elements. All of them seemingly occur after Orlando is upset by something, whether it be when the woman he loves rejects him, when the Archduke offends her, or during battle when she runs through the trenches. Orlando only runs when something is amiss in his/her life. The running scenes are also interesting because they are mostly shot with Orlando running away from the camera as if he/she is running away from the audience or his/her present circumstance. Additionally, all the running scenes occur outside, continuing the theme with nature. Finally, the film’s last scene shows Orlando's daughter running; however, she is running towards the camera, happily, rather unlike her mother who runs away from the camera when she is upset. | 16/04/2012 19:58 |
Dance in Orlando | Elizabeth Mattison | Student | I found that dance, like in many cultures, is an important exhibition of feeling in Orlando. I originally was intrigued by the Introduction page telling us that the story was a "dance through history". Exploring dance further led me to a tag called "dance", which held multiple call sheets outlining the importance of characters learning their dances. It also showed how important Orlando's emotions towards Sasha were in these scenes. It seems like Orlando's feelings are revealed through dancing. | 17/04/2012 18:12 |
Nature, Colour, and Motivation | Lindsay Hooper | Student | What are the implications of predetermined Powers and Colours motivating each character and setting? How do these attributes influence the film's aesthetic? | 23/04/2012 12:20 |
Fluidity of Gender | Lindsey Menard | Student | Exploration on the ways in which gender becomes a fluid concept throughout Orlando and the aspects of the film that contribute to this. | 23/04/2012 17:19 |
The Evolving Manuscript: From The Oak Tree to Death of A Lover | Caitlin Falco | Student | After looking through multiple drafts of the script, I noticed that the title of Orlando\'s manuscript changes twice. It begins as \"The Oak Tree,\" but evolves into \"The Death of Hercules,\" and finally becomes \"Death of a Lover.\" What is the significance of each of these titles in relation to the film? Had Sally Potter kept one of the original titles, would we have drawn the same conclusions about the manuscript, and its relationship to other themes in the film? | 23/04/2012 18:27 |
Weather and Orlando | Emily Blagdon | Student | Throughout the film, the weather and natural surroundings constantly change. While looking through the archive, I began to pick up on the different moods based on the different weather climates. Mourning, sadness, and negative images often appear while the weather is cold, snowy, and dark. When the weather is sunny and pleasant, there is more light hearted music in the background and the story line is on a more positive note. The weather in Orlando is not only a representation of the area in which the scene is meant to be set but it seems to also be used as an aid in creating a specific mood and tone for the audience to pick up on. | 23/04/2012 18:54 |
Khiva Desert Music | Kelli Bruno | Student | This pathway follows one musical cue from production to the finished film. Although it may go unnoticed, the music overlaps between two scenes and transitions from non-diegetic to diegetic. | 23/04/2012 20:18 |
Gender in Orlando | Julia Howard | Student | 23/04/2012 22:22 | |
Use of Children in Orlando | Amy Atkins | Student | "Do not fade. Do not wither. Do not grow old." Is the message Queen Elizabeth I gives Orlando with the gift of eternal life and in researching the archives, I discovered that children are rather prevalent in the film.

Searching for Clarify Through Mazes | Simone Spira | student | Orlando is searching for the light at the end of the maze throughout the entire movie; the maze parallels to her life as she's constantly struggling with love, gender, sexuality, etc. However, at the end of the movie, after she's moved through time, she finds clarity with the angel who reveals herself between two branches, as if Orlando is finally emerging out the maze and into the light. | 24/04/2012 00:00 |

Orlando and Dogs | Alexander DeGiulio | Student | For Orlando, dogs represent a source of protection, comfort and companionship. Yet they also stand as a symbol of Orlando's obedience. Dogs play an important role in explaining Orlando's subservience to Queen Elizabeth and act as a form of protection against the cunning nature of Nick Greene. Yet, their most important function is one based around comfort and companionship. Two dogs lay by his side during the first endless sleep. A dog first welcomes her back to the estate after her absences. And more importantly, dogs continually stand by Orlando's side throughout the entire first half of the film. Dogs truly are a man's best friend. | 24/04/2012 19:25 |
Voyeurism and the Camera's Point of View | Heather Wakeman | Student |
My pathway contains assets that explore the point of view of the camera and the placement of the camera as a voyeur. It evolved from a note that Sally Potter wrote on her shooting script: "The camera as a voyeur--behind something." From this note, I decided to find other assets that highlight a voyeuristic placement of the camera and thus the audience. My assets range from the camera positioning in intimate scene to Potter describing her use of character address in her director's commentary. |

The importance of the bedroom in Orlando | Heather Wilson | Student | I have found various assets which suggest that the bedroom represents a place of comfort, change, and re-birth for Orlando. During any significant lapse of time, when Orlando primarily addresses the camera, and when Orlando transforms from a male to a female he is in the Bedroom. The assets I have compiled demonstrate how this room is important based on the design of the bedroom and the various scenes that revolve around the bedroom. | 25/04/2012 00:29 |

Adapting Orlando: From Word to World | Aniya Das | Student | In writing Orlando, Virginia Woolf had to her disposal the infinite power of the English language. Using her imaginative flair for writing, Woolf was able to vividly describe and create the world in which Orlando lives; we are transported through time, and to incredible landscapes all across the globe with ease. Sally Potter then, had the largely more difficult task of physically recreating this diegetic world. Through this pathway I will explore the real life locations Potter used to create Orlando's world, and the reasons behind these choices. | 03/02/2013 01:11 |

\\\'I am rooted, but I flow\\\' -Conceptions of time and the conveyance of inner life in \\\'Orlando\\\' | Maire Connor | Student | The central impulse of this pathway is to provide a conduit through which one may explore how the passing of time is expressed within Sally Potter's 1992 film 'Orlando', as a prominent theme of both the original novel and film. Furthermore, in acknowledgement of the disparities between the manner in which a visual medium and a written work respectively convey meaning, one is also drawn to the cinematic techniques utilised to communicate the eponymous hero/ine's inner thoughts, feelings and frustrations. The titular quotation, lifted from another of Woolf's novels, 'The Waves' is appropriated here to reflect upon the process of adaptation, particularly the ever-mutating, palimpsestic nature of a text (Woolf 2005: 86). | 03/03/2013 00:13 |

The essence of design in adaptation | Mitchell Harris | Student | The focus here is on the nature of design in adaptation. One example includes key aspects such as location from pre-production sketches to how the final set looks in production, and how this relates to the words found in Woolf's novel. Additionally it's interesting to note the differences in adaptation across Orlando's 400 year journey. | 25/03/2013 17:38 |
Cinematography and Shot Analysis in Orlando | Jake Stickley | Student | An analysis of the relationship between the detailed and highly illustrative description within the original text and the shot choices and cinematography of the film adaptation.

The Literary Process of Adaptation | Emma Lieberman | Student | In a novel-to-film adaptation, one of the most interesting things to do is look at the source novel and see how it differs from the screenplay. Film is a visual medium, making it very different from the literary medium of the novel, but the adapted screenplay is like the bridge between the two, and can show the most striking resemblances and differences between the two versions of the story. | 25/03/2013 18:11 |

Adapting Orlando through the words of Sally Potter | Gaia Porcu | Student | 26/03/2013 12:44 | |
Narrative Voice in Orlando | Harriet Taberner | Student | Initially, Sally Potter had the narrative of Orlando living each moment as the present. For instance Orlando in 1592, tells the story as if it were 1592; the Orlando in 1700 tells the story as if it were 1700, etc. However, later this changed and bore more resemblance to Virginia Woolf's prose. The film took on the structure of memories, the present being 1992. Therefore, the narrative of the film did not alter with the aging/ developing of character. The narrator of the film is the female mother Orlando, and thereby tone and language differs from the language of a young boy. In the part of "Death" we can see many differences between Potter's shooting script and the finalized version in her process of adapting Virginia Woolf's novel "Orlando". | 26/03/2013 15:21 |

john's comment | Sarah Atkinson | Media Academic |
King James looks down through the ice to see the young woman (and her apples) frozen beneath. The view of her is being slowly covered by the falling snow. James is amused by this image. The King looks down on the world from the point of view of the absolute monarch with divine right. The young woman is of no account either as a subject or as a female. And yet her beauty is not obscured (initially) - only by his gaze which also 'freezes' her. The apples (fruit) are also frozen. The king's gaze is reiforced by those of the gaggle of (male) courtiers. The images combines beauty, life, fruitfulness and horror, coldness and death (male). This 'maleness' is at an extreme. Potter uses subjective shots: The King looks down on the frozen woman. The woman looks up at the goggling king. |
