I am making a according book out of the images that I took from the first abandon house. I think using the images like this gives them more value. This processes made me appreciate the things in side the picture rather than just the whole image.
I wanted the post these in color on the blog, because color is important when pairing images up like this.
(Black and white version for class cuz its like 1000$ to print anything in color here)
for the moment, pay less attention to book, and more to sequence.
ReplyDeletethink cinematically. moods, turns. quiet, followed by noise.
not one image after another, but time — a few moments of a mood, followed by a transition to another, or cut from that mood.
a favorite passage, from a favorite book —
There’s another way to make a movie, which is the way that Eisenstein suggested a movie should be made. This method has nothing to do with following the protagonist around but rather is a succession of images juxtaposed so that the contrast between these images moves the story forward in the mind of the audience. This is a fairly succinct rendition of Eisenstein's theory of montage; it is also the first thing I know about film direction; it is also the first thing I know about film directing, virtually the only thing I know about film directing.
You always want to tell the story in cuts. Which is to say, through a juxtaposition of images that are basically uninflected. A shot of a teacup. A shot of a spoon. A short of a fork. A shot of a door. Let the cut tell the story. Because otherwise you have not got dramatic action, you have narration…
