"When I was over there I thought about you. And I held on to you. And it wasn't reasonable and it wasn't logical but I did. Why didn't you?"
- Olivia Dunham
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this challenge of the BOIT Competition we had to take a scene or fandom and change the final outcome. I decided to take a bit of a risk and do a 'classical' re-cut of one of the most beautiful scenes of Fringe and to edit it so that even people who don't watch the show - which I expect to be the majority here - will be able to (at least basically) understand what's going on.
Original scene
Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=yuyKLFk-VTE&feature=related
Olivia tells Peter that he belongs with her. They kiss for the first time and Peter returns to the „other" universe. After some totally epic complications and obstacles they - FINALLY - become a couple. Yay! ;-)
My twist
Olivia tells Peter that he belongs with her but he rejects her. He stays in the alternative universe while Olive goes back to hers. Needless to say that she's completely devastated and heartbroken.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what the judges said:
Despite the concept of your video being pretty simple, it was still very well executed. It was really helpful that you included the original scene in your description. When comparing it to your new rewritten scene, we can easily see how much of a manipulation you had to create to show Olivia being rejected instead of the scene leading to Peter and Olivia's first kiss. The editing was really convincing and we could see the pain that Olivia was feeling after being turned away from Peter. The first half of the video showcased the scene of the "break up" between Olivia and Peter. Normally, such a long scene, that takes up most of the video, would feel like it was dragging on or taking to long to get to the point of the matter. You, however, made it to where that scene needed to be in this video for us to truly understand what was happening. You made it to where it wasn't boring or too long. The second half of the video was a really great way to end the video. It allowed us to see flashbacks of what the two once were, when they were happy around each other, as well as the heartbreak and sadness that Olivia experiences after your rewritten story. The voiceover usage was really well done and it helped us better understand exactly what was going on in the video. Great job on making a believable entry and congrats for passing to the next round!
Take care
