Suture
A medical term, literally meaning to stitch something up.
In film theory, this is the process whereby the spectator is 'stitched up' in the filmic text.
One applications of this is shot/reverse-angle shot.
If you did not use a reverse shot with a shot, the audience would become aware of the frame of the screen, and it would loose the effect of it's reality.
Suture and ideology:
The notion behind suture is that it makes the ideological signs in a film invisible. Therefore the spectator's ability to read or decode the film remains limited.
It is therefore theorised that the system allows the film's ideological messages to be slipped in unnoticed and become absorbed by the spectator.
Film is thus Hegemonant (ruling or dominant in a political or social context) rather than a reflection of reality. So in hollywood we are presented with an unquestioning idea of the idealness of American values.
An ideological film is a film that gives a message of how we should live our lives.
About time- gives off the ideological message that we should savour every moment and appreciate our life
