Exploring Intertextuality in Orlando

An exploration of the ways in which Woolf's base text and other texts are incorporated and added into Potter's adaptation.

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.

Exploration on the ways in which gender becomes a fluid concept throughout Orlando and the aspects of the film that contribute to this.

Additionally it's interesting to note the differences in adaptation across Orlando's 400 year journey.

The development of costume across the film mirrors the development of character. What are we as an audience able to decipher purely by the clothing and costumes used.
