Frage Antworten
Early attempts to Filmmaking US : Edison France : Lumiere and Melies Edison : single staged events, co worker sneezing, couple sneezing. HOLLYWOOD STUDIO SYSTEM (division of labor, narrative style, character and action) Lumiere : events going on around the world, workers leave factory, train arriving at station DOCUMENTARY (record events, even if camera not present) Melies : studio, creating trick shots, illusion of color. FANTASY (science fiction)
Economics of scale Economic impulse, commodity, own it, rent it, sell it, profit from it. Largest number of people, most common and acceptable beliefs : film is between expectation and response, cultural belief and individual resistance
Buster Keaton Signs deal with MGM, Director has a small role, loses creative edge and control
Charlie Chaplin + Joseph Scheck form United Artists, major studio but acts as financing and distribution, rather than production. Silent period biggest stars and partners : Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, DW Griffith
Studio Streamlining Work Filmmaking factories : employees are writers, directors, actors, set decorators, electricians -> economy of the visible organized. Manufacturing gets more streamlined as demand grows. Roles are laid out, staged process.
Continuity Continuity of actual space and time is fragmented as smoothly as possible. Jump Cut : transition is confusing. Establishing shot : location and time Closer shots : action Establishing shot : return to it if there are many shots.
Master shot technique Golden years of American studio system (30s 40s), directors urged to use technique : Reverse angle shot : exchanges, 180 degree rule.
Thematic montage Griffith experiments, Intolerance (1916), association of ideas, irrespective of space and time. Themes of bigotry and persecution (four stories, Ancient Babylon, crucifixion of Jesus, massacre of Huguenots, America 1916)
Constructive Editing Vi Pudovkin claims Griffith's use of close ups is too limited, only clarification of long shot. Pudovkin says each shot should make a new point, new meaning, juxtaposition of shots, not one shot alone. Lev Kuleshov, place three shots next to a man's face : all different meaning. Detracts from sense of realism, critiqued to be manipulative.
Montage Eisenstein : montage is foundation of film art. Conflict of two shots (thesis and antithesis) creates new idea (synthesis)
French New Wave André Bazin : editing is destruction of form. Shot should be unedited gaze.
Italian Neo Realism Films in the street, observing people post WWII
