Epiphany 2

In history of film theory today we were discussing impressionism and compared two films from different eras that employ very similar techniques, those films being Taxi Driver ‘Martin Scorcese’ and The House of Usher ‘Jean Epstein’. One of the girls mentioned how Scorcese used a strong sense of colour to bring up this impressionistic aspect of the film. I thought it would be really cool to cut between two scenes or shots with the use a a blank colour accompanied by music that may reflect the colour some way. It was really vivid in my head so I would really like to try it.
