gwag!

-someone going around with a polaroid…only by snapping pictures of themselves can you see what they are feeling
-doesn’t make sense, different people

manipulating time…b/c stacked on top of each other, collision of edits, time and space doesn’t necessarily have to make sense…play with this

Soviet Montage:

based on conflicts of scale, volume, rhythm, motion (speed, as well as direction of movement within the frame), as well as more conceptual values such as class.

-each portion leads to a certain emotion, when that emotion is reached – or on the breach of being reached scene changes


places I’ve never been….love, complete vulnerability, the moon, the bottom of the ocean, things I’ve never fit into…uniformity, fitting in, all of my insecurities

big hand vs smaller man’s hand…tough calluses, growing out of position…on ground, the step, then table till I’m a giant

a film, a trailer, for something that will never happen, in places I’ve never been

turning down staircases, as round the corner on different staircases (one by 20th apartment)…walk up and away

Trailers:
Misleading?? – bad ones maybe → if tell the whole story definitely bad
Want to make people see it – different psychology there and methodology of working
Moments that never happen
Looking at a film, analyzing it, and reinterpreting it
Title sequence often better than the film itself
Like a poem or haiku of the film
Intro to great novel kind of
Opportunity to make the film of your dreams, just make the trailer for it

Typography

-about visual language
-william tell apple poster – the text actually is encoded with the meaning

-trailer: a film within a film
themes into symbolic forms
introduction, throwing audience into general world of the film
Bond films – intro with circles, bullets, and women →power of intro

Barbarella intro w/ jane fonda – zero gravity strip tease
-words are adolescent in behavior – the words can have personality

working with or against the music

---ringing of a bell, rippling water reverbing out, drop, as hits bell hits letters form

-the typographic voice
