Question 2 Analysis

COMMENTS ON CINEMATOGRAPHY

There are some comments from Martin Scorcese referring to frame composition and everything that you include or don’t include in the frame can have an impact how it is perceived or what is expected. I like how Scorcese outlines this as you can tell in his films that everything that can be seen in the frame is very purposeful and has a impact on the scene. This excites me as it will be something that the group will be able to experiment with, we will have control of how we want the audience to act while watching! Makavejev talks of realities both in the frame and out of the frame, there can be an erotic tension on the edges of the frame. All the viewer can do is try to believe what is on the outer space of the frame which can be used in film to create suspense or lead an audience a particular way.
