The Tracey Fragments is a film I watched recently due to my current obsession for Ellen Page .Although I wasn’t too involved in the plot of the film, I was just super surprised by the cinematography of this film. The cinematography is very unique and different in the way how most shots in a scene consists of many ‘fragments’. This allows the audience to focus on different characters’ perspective or show the subtle details of characters which really helps with character development in my opinion (as there isn’t much character development on characters other than Tracey!). Although I love the techniques the director has used to create this film, it definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. At times, there are a lot of fragments at once where it can be very overwhelming and repetitious.
I feel that Bruce McDonald has experimented a lot with the cinematography. A prominent scene I enjoyed was when Tracey was running from her house and Horses by Broken Social Scene was playing:
To sum it up, the plot is alright but the techniques used is very different to your regular movie. Although some techniques do not suit a certain scene in the movie well, it still gives an insight on how to go that extra mile when making videos more quirky and unique(helped me in multimedia class a lot!).
My rating: 6.5/10
Favorite line: "Remember in the news when two retards had a kid? Well that was me."
