This shows contrast when Rochester calls Jane a 'sprite' at the start of the film and that their relationship has deepened and developed 
- Rochester has changed his opinions of Jane after the fire
- Has a new outlook on life
- Has become calm and less controlling (free)]]> 2018-06-07 23:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266209818 emilialop https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266209840 Jane wears no hat which may symbolize how she has no protection and how she´s vulnerable in this situation. Also in funerals people tend to not wear their hats, or they take their hats off as a sign of mourning-she mourns the old Rochester.]]> 2018-06-07 23:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266209840 ayeshasat https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266209876 Continuing on from the rest of the film.

This shows that although sadness and despair has fallen upon Thornfield, Jane and Rochesters love will shine through this. ]]> 2018-06-08 00:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266209977 lilycha https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210008 Just after the proposal a tree was struck by lightning, this symbolised the turmoil to come. Jane Eyre in the final scene is framed by the same tree and it has healed as it is growing back but still has a broken branch. This symbolises the relationship between Jane and Rochester. It was broken but has the ability to heal itself although the scars will still be there. 

In the scene where Jane is framed by the lightning tree whilst walking up to Rochester, the tree that had framed her showed new growth and foreshadowed the opportunity to come. In this scene there was also a lot of light and hopeful piano music with chirping birds and running water which shows the joy and hopefulness to come in their lives and future relationship. ]]> 2018-06-08 00:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210008 ameliabra https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210015 (Framing) Jane is in a long shot framed by tree limbs as she walks towards Rochester. This shows that the tree, which symbolises Jane and Rochester's relationship, is still closing her in like the walls and windows confined Jane in the castle. This links to the idea of the frame enclosing the doll in the previous scene. This shows that Jane and Rochester's relationship still confines jane, as if she was in a cage.]]> 2018-06-08 00:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210015 juliatat https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210020 Since she is not wearing a hat it symbolises that she is openminded. She has removed an accessory which may be expected for one to wear. By removing it she is removing certain constraints and coming to Rochester without anything holding her back.

Although when there are scenes that are extremely deep or awkward (lol) then there is no music playing
- the violin is playing in a very high octave/key
- the piano is imitating/sync with the violin
Although in the end scene, the music feels FULL with the whole orchestra playing. 
- Sounds very anxious but exciting for Jane
- When Jane and Rochester are finally together, the music decrescendo and ritardando, showing a feeling of wholeness and satisfaction :D]]> 2018-06-08 00:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210979 abbiebog https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266210985 Rochester says "are you all together human" implying that he can't believe it is her and that he believes she could be a ghost, this is relating back to earlier in the film when there were little symbols that suggested that she was ghostly.

In this scene Jane is the one to reach out to Rochester. She is finally ready to love him - giving her soul to him]]> 2018-06-08 00:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266211055 ameliabra https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266211059 The castle is burnt out and destroyed and acts as a symbolism of Rochesters life, burnt out. The castle could be a symbolism of Rochester and who he has been to Jane and how he has changed as a person. The castle catching fire and being burnt out can also symbolise new beginnings for everybody, including Rochester, as all that he had has been burnt away and taken from him and now he has to start again, start fresh, which can be the same for Jane, she can join him]]> 2018-06-08 00:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266211059 juliatat https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266211249 the cool looking castle seems to entrap her in the movie but now that the house is destroyed she is finally free]]> 2018-06-08 00:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266211249 https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266501992 The high Eb to Bb shows a perfect 5th which is empty and hollow, this is the motif throughout the main violin theme in the movie, and the empty perfect 5ths as the bass lines played as held notes are reflecting Jane's life. It shows that she feels empty without Rochester's love, and also displays lack of freedom - being a female in the Victorian era.

The strong dissonance notes (high F and E maybe) also symbolise the conflict within Jane at this point of time. Jane has not yet found out that Bertha is dead, so thinks that their relationship (her and Rochester) still has obstacles. She has seemingly come to terms with the fact that Rochester is already married, and is content to be his side chick.

The like-classical Beethoven broken chords are consistent but die away is like the 'broken-ness' in the house and Jane's life. We can see this, as the house is burned down, displaying the way in which they may be superficially damaged, but they still have strong foundations.

The silence during Mrs Fairfax's dialogue is actually part John Cage's 4"33 and like 4"33, the producer wants the reader to focus on the background noises aka Mrs Fairfax's dialogues and shuffling of feet (symbolising insecurities and being anxious), and the wind to show 'the winds of change' and wind spreads fire. There is no music during Mrs Fairfax's dialogue to emphasise her inner turmoil.

The music starts after Mrs Fairfax's dialogue as Jane is walking to find Rochester means the tension from the conversation has lifted and light-but-emotional music has continued. This tension has been replaced by their thorough support of each other, even though they have not been physically near each other to figure this out. In a way, they have been humbled by their experiences, which has helped them to fully understand how important it is to love and accept each other.

The fuller chords and double-stops on the violin/viola when Rochester and Jane begin to talk again, which is symbolised by two melodies playing at once. This shows that Jane and Rochester's lives are coming back together, both melodies singing at once. Later on the use of violin (high) and cello (low) is like the balance between the two of them. It also shows how in the new relationship they are both contenders and Mr R is no longer dominant and are now equal.]]> 2018-06-10 21:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266501992 emilialop https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266502347 the castle can represent Rochester throughout the film. At the beginning of the film we can always see Jane behind windows, nearly trapped in the castle, at the same time Jane was trapped and could not leave Rochester.
Also at the beginning of the film the castle is big, strong and imposing just like Rochester, He would present himself strong and imposing. At the end of the film the castle is in ruins, although the base of the castle is still holding up and strong, and yes the castle has been damaged, just like Rochester, but it is still standing. ]]> 2018-06-10 21:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266502347 abbiebog https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503026 During this scene there was sad violin music that started to build up when Rochester and Jane were coming together this sad music then starts to build up into a more confident/positive relieving music indicating to viewers how they are finally reuniting and coming together again after a long time apart. ]]> 2018-06-10 21:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503026 emilialop https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503048 Jane is quiet-she doesn't feel the need to prove herself to Rochester anymore.]]> 2018-06-10 21:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503048 ameliabra https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503084 As Jane approaches Rochester, right before she touches his hands (IMPORTANT: hands) she drops her hat. The removal of the had symbolises a mark of respect and a removal of protection, causing Jane to be more vulnerable as she has lost this protection which she now holds in her hands. However, by dropping the hat (her protection) she is putting all of her trust into Rochester and allowing herself to be completely vulnerable with him, showing her love for Rochester. Right after she drops the hat, she goes in for the PASH!]]> 2018-06-10 21:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503084 ayeshasat https://padlet.com/k_sinclair/trci443ku59i/wish/266503111 Can represent that she's in the dark about what is happening.

But also emphasises the change in heart that they have both had - that the verbal sparring that sparked the chemistry in their relationship and was a sign of each wanting to conquer the other and bend each to the other's will, has been replaced by ... WHAT? Mutual respect and a willingness to listen to each other and learn - where to from here?
