    A great example of using the kuleshov effect against the audience for tension is in silence of the lambs when cutting between the officers outside a house and cutting to inside of Buffalo bills house.

    Most important advice really is " Write. Shoot. Edit. Repeat. ", because at some point all those tips and theories become second nature to you and you don't think of them. But when reviewing your work, you notice you're including them or at least thinking about them in some way. You don't think " I'll do the 180 rule here becase this and that ", you think " I'll put the camera here because that's where it should go. That's where it feels like it should be. "

      Yeah I agree to this. I guess it just comes to preference of what was the intention. I do believe that in horror watching the scary thing in the corner of the view of attention works often. Though of course sometimes confronting suddenly an unexpected image can be scary even if it isn’t (we all have been had that kind of scare by someone walking in front of us all of the sudden).

    10:00 I’m not sure about what it is better. I think some times you want the audience searching for the next focus point, so they are part of the action instead of “lazy viewers”. In horror you sometimes want for sure the audience to watch something but maybe you want that they “almost miss it”/“what was that”/“wait, there is something in the other side of the screen”.

    • @filmriot
      @filmriot  Před 2 lety +1

      If the intent is to have your audience search the screen, then yes. But that's the idea behind it all, doing these things (or not) for purposeful, instead of accidental, end results. With Fury Road, it's not a lazy viewer thing, I don't think it ever is... But in that case specifically - the rate at which he wanted to cut required facilitating the audience to absorb information quickly. It's just a matter of understanding how the brain works and utilizing that to tell your story. The goal is to use craft to tell your story with intention.

    • @manart6506
      @manart6506 Před 2 lety

      @@filmriot yeah I think it makes sense in Fury road but I think breaking a rule of keeping the focus in one place pays off, though it has be done carefully. It’s a good scene but in other action sequences you can make travel where the focus point is, it is just has to be done within the shot and keep it during the cut, no jumps between cuts so people can follow focus even it if it moves from one place in the screen to the other… I feel that way can make the audience feel part of the action while not losing their view. I’m pro it being a little less passive.

    I haven't seen your short yet, so there's no context in terms of story, rythm or sound when you showed that last shot of the ghost. But from what I saw, I think it's actually scarier if the audience doesn't immediately see the ghost. I think it's creepier if you get that half a second of "Oh shit, I didn't see that!", so I like the way you shot and edited that scare. That being said, I haven't seen the movie so the only context I have is the clip you showed here.
