The movie uses many different strategies to keep the story coherent. One of the many things that the director chose to do to keep this film from falling apart was repetition. It is crucial to pay attention to the order of events used to pace all three timelines. It is made apparent that everything that happens will happen again. But, each shot is slightly altered to keep the story fresh but also to make each outcome or conclusion to the story different. Looking back at some of the shots they share the same framing techniques used for the other iterations of the story. A prime example of this is when Lola runs past the old lady with the baby stroller, all three shots of that incident utilize the same camera work. I think that these small things make the film digestible and easy to understand regardless of its abstract creative vision.
