Akira Kurosawa: Composing Movement
- i think it’s funny how he uses the avengers to contrasts kurosawa’s better cinemotographt skills, as the avengers movies are a notorious money grab where the focus is on the expensive CGI and not so much the basics of the shot that this video discusses. However, I feel that there is a fine line of seeming overdramatic, or overacting, that Kursawa’s actor’s methods can display. I think this is a good note but it every actor were to move how the video suggests it would seem unrealistic to true human emotion
Satoshi Kon: Editing Space and Time
-building a style out of match cuts: importance of transitions. blink & miss you’re in a different scene, everything flows. He likes to build up and then cut away, then cut back to it later. He uses interesting perspectives to get you involved. use of animation allows less frames, read quicker.
How to Structure a Video Essay:
-don’t be repetitive and boring. have multiple stories moving in parallel. meanwhile back at the ranch... this is interesting to me because a lot of times cutting to another story bothers me, usually theres only one I care about. There are a lot of times where I feel people do it wrong with only one strong story
the Poetry of Details:
-ignore the plot to enjoy the picture. this relates a lot to my art practice as a painter and what i enjoy creating when i take pictures or video. some moments i want the aesthetic to be brighter than the story.
professional vs nonprofessional actors, some people are just right, natural
