silent cinema revision
The focus areas:
Always-
1) Film form
2) Meaning and response
3) Contexts
8) Critical debates
Context: rapid industrialisation and huge cities that had never before existed in human history.
taking found elements and combining them to create something new - constructivism.
expressionism vs realism: the film has incorporated the real life in the soviet union in a totally expressionistic way.
Last scene:
-multiple split screens / multiple exposures - modern and expressionist - multiple different things going on in one place.
-crosscutting between the audience and the cinema screen
Kuleshov effect: Abstract - reaction of the audience to what is on their screen, yet they are not watching the same thing as the spectator.
Superimposition, makes the spectator see falsely what into the last 3 mins
constructivism is a celebration of the labour that goes into creating something, the idea behind the multiple cuts per second is to demonstrate the craftmanship of filmmaking and to celebrate hard work.
The split screen showing the bulshoy ballet building melting into itself to show that old forms of art no longer have forms of relevance. Eschewing traditional art films.
fast motion and quick cuts
