A stock character in films; “that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures”
Zooey Deschanel is the epitome of manic pixie dream girl, and her big, blue eyes are the epitome of her mpdg-ness. I absolutely adore her. For this assignment, I chose five one-second clips of Zooey that draw attention to her eyes. The clips are from the following movies, listed in order: Failure to Launch, Yes Man, The Go-Getter, (500) Days of Summer, and Gigantic. I recommend watching all of these movies, which goes without saying.
The assignment itself was easy enough to do, catching one-second blinks from different movie clips. I edited the clips together using Windows Movie Maker 2.6, muted the clips, then added an audio clip from She & Him’s cover of I Put a Spell on You as sung by Zooey Deschanel.
