This document discusses Sergei Eisenstein's dialectic approach to film form. It explains that a dialectic approach presents an ideology by associating two opposing elements through techniques like montage. Montage involves placing single shots sequentially to create a rhythm or idea. Eisenstein believed montage results from the collision of independent shots rather than their blending. The document also outlines different types of conflicts that can be used in film form, including graphic, spatial, light, and temporal conflicts. Pictorial symbolism and emotional dynamization are discussed as ways to convey meaning and psychology in films.
Montage and Kuleshov Effect
Montage editing involves juxtaposing different shots together to create a new meaning greater than the individual parts. Alfred Hitchcock said montage allows editors to create ideas and emotions by piecing film clips together. Examples of films that used montage editing techniques include October by Sergei Eisenstein and Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin. Point-of-view editing shows what a character is looking at by cutting between a shot of their face and what their eyes are focused on, sometimes followed by their reaction. The Godfather uses the Kuleshov effect and parallel editing techniques effectively.

The document discusses principles of mise-en-scène and film composition, including the rule of thirds, aspect ratios, and camera movement techniques. Mise-en-scène refers to how visual elements are staged and framed to create meaning. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds to place subjects of interest at intersection points. Aspect ratios like 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 determine the shape of the frame and influence composition. There are seven basic types of camera movements, such as panning, tilting, dolly shots, and zooms, that can be used to direct viewer attention.

Discussion about Narrative Films, its elements and examples of narrative films for Senior High School Media and Information Literacy Class of Zamboanga Chong Hua High School
Montage - And its types
Lev Kuleshov was a Soviet film theorist and director who developed the theory of montage, which is the editing and juxtaposing of film shots to imply meanings and tell a story. He conducted the famous Kuleshov Effect experiment to demonstrate how montage can manipulate audience perception. Sergei Eisenstein expanded on Kuleshov's theories of montage, identifying five types: metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal/associational, and intellectual/ideological. Montage uses editing techniques to condense time and meaning in a film through rhythmic pacing and juxtaposing of images or ideas.
Narrative theory 2
This document discusses various narrative theories and concepts related to how stories are structured and conveyed. It covers Vladimir Propp's identification of common character archetypes and narrative functions in Russian fairy tales. It also summarizes Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium being disrupted and restored, and Roland Barthes' narrative codes that drive reader/viewer engagement. Additionally, it outlines Syd Field's three-act Hollywood film structure and Stanley Kubrick's concept of "non-submersible units" that form a story's essential plot elements.
Principles of Film Theory
The document discusses different film theory principles including types of films like realism, classical, and formalism. It also covers various film techniques such as shots, angles, lighting, color, sound, editing, and mise-en-scene. The goal is to understand how to analyze films through an examination of their content and stylistic elements.
Sergei eisenstien
Sergei Eisenstein was a pioneering Soviet film director and theorist in the early 20th century. He developed the theory of montage, which uses editing techniques to juxtapose short film segments to condense space, time, and information or to provoke emotional responses in viewers. Eisenstein believed montage could create ideas or impacts beyond individual shots. For example, in Battleship Potemkin, he stretched a sequence of people fleeing down the Odessa steps to over 7 minutes through montage, much longer than in real life. Soviet montage theory categorized different types of montage, including metric, rhythmic, tonal, intellectual, and overtonal montage. Montage remains an important film
Vert 3 - Montage theory
Eisenstein was a pioneering Russian film director who developed the theory of montage, where juxtaposing edited images can create new ideas beyond the individual shots. He believed editing shots together could make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Eisenstein best demonstrated this in the famous "Odessa Steps" sequence of his 1925 film Battleship Potemkin, where rapidly cutting between shots of a crowd fleeing down steps stretched out the sequence for greater visceral impact and manipulated the audience's perception of time.
Hitchcock, Editing & Suspense
This document discusses Alfred Hitchcock's mastery of suspense through editing techniques. It begins by defining editing and its role in continuity and montage. It then discusses how Hitchcock used editing to manipulate time and viewers' attention and inferences to generate suspense through impending deadlines and restricting narration. Examples are given of how Hitchcock combined different modes of suspense, including surprise, and played with viewers' expectations through unreliable narration. The document also notes how Hitchcock sometimes subverted moral alignments in melodrama to invite viewers' identification with morally ambiguous or undesirable characters.
Soviet montage
Soviet filmmakers developed a theory of montage that differed from its use in European film. They experimented with juxtaposing images to jolt viewers' awareness of film form and have them actively interpret relationships between shots. Directors like Eisenstein and Vertov aimed to use montage to address cultural issues beyond just aesthetics or narrative, influencing viewers' critical thinking about society and history.
Codes and conventions of a thriller
A thriller uses suspense, tension, and excitement through elements like plot twists and cliffhangers to keep audiences engaged. Technical elements include quick cuts and changes in camera angles to build tension. Mise-en-scene features include props like weapons and costumes with dark colors. Sound design uses silence and screams to suggest fear. The narrative structure builds complications until a climax and resolution. Camera techniques like close-ups, tracking shots, and rule of thirds compositions are employed.
Equilibrium
The document provides information about the film Equilibrium including:
1) It introduces the film Equilibrium, which is set in a dystopian future where emotions have been outlawed and suppressed.
2) It lists the main cast members of the film including Cleric Preston, Partridge, Brandt, and Mary.
3) It provides context about the film's genre, which is a science fiction film that explores novel concepts around suppressing emotions in society.
Types of generic conventions
The document discusses several generic conventions commonly used in horror films, including mise-en-scene, setting, visual style, theme, ideology, characters, stereotypes, narrative, iconography, cinematography, special effects, and sounds. Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within the frame, while setting describes the location in which the film takes place. Visual style is the director's visual approach and commonly includes elements like shadows and low lighting in horror. Common themes in horror include fear and isolation. Character archetypes in the genre often appear strange or creepy. Special effects and unsettling sounds are employed to make scenes or creatures seem more terrifying.
Media language
This document discusses key aspects of media language in film through quotes from famous directors and definitions of cinematic techniques. It provides quotes about film's ability to manipulate time from Tarkovsky and its betrayal of reality from Truffaut. Directors like David Lean and Federico Fellini discuss their storytelling through film. Techniques defined include mise-en-scene, mise-en-shot, editing styles like continuity and montage, and uses of diegetic and non-diegetic sound.

It advocates a dialectic approach to film form that presents an ideology by associating opposing elements through montages and symbolism.
Intro to cinema powerpoint: Experimental
Experimental films challenge orthodox ideas about what films can show and how they show it. They have no set rules, so styles vary widely from personal experiences to manipulating audiovisual elements. Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising exemplifies experimental possibilities through a combination of staged and found footage exploring 1960s motorcycle culture and comparing it to rituals. Abstract films organize around visual elements rather than narratives, often using theme and variation structures like J.J. Murphy's Print Generation. Ballet Mécanique was one of the earliest and most influential, creating rhythmic juxtapositions of machines and humans. Associational films suggest meanings through juxtaposed segments without a conventional structure, seen in Bruce Conner's A Movie using found

Cinema and Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Maurice Merleau-Ponty was a French phenomenological philosopher influential in existential phenomenology. He analyzed film through a phenomenological lens, seeing film as perceived rather than thought and uniquely able to show the union of mind, body, and world. For Merleau-Ponty, film moves beyond the classical view of perception as separate sensations by presenting a temporal gestalt where meaning emerges from the succession of shots. Film manifests the bond between subject and world through how we perceive represented worlds on screen in a way that challenges Cartesian mind-body dualism.
WCC Film 100-CHAPTER #8-EDITING Luther
1) Film editing is the process of assembling shots into a coherent narrative sequence. A film editor must creatively work with various elements like images, story, dialogue, music, and pacing to construct a cohesive whole.
2) Continuity editing emphasizes clear storytelling and revealing character emotions through techniques like establishing shots, shot/reverse shot, match cuts, and changes in field of view.
3) Soviet montage theory views editing as a way to convey meaning and emotion through the relationship between shots, rather than continuity. It influenced techniques like metric, rhythmic, tonal, and intellectual montage.
Editing
This document provides information about various film editing techniques including continuity, crosscutting, eyelines match, dissolves, match on action, rhythm, and montage. It explains each technique with definitions and examples from films. Crosscutting alternates shots of two storylines occurring simultaneously. An eyelines match shows what a character is looking at. A dissolve blends two shots together. A match on action splices two views of the same action. Rhythm contributes to a film's mood through editing, cinematography, and sound. Montage uses juxtaposition of shots to create new meanings.
Film essay1[1]
Eisenstein viewed film as composed of two elements - photo fragments of nature that are recorded, and these fragments being combined in various ways to tell a story. He believed that both film and theater rely on assembling smaller pieces, like frames in film or words and sounds in theater, to create a larger whole. Contemporary films and plays illustrate this by using events, emotions, gestures, and mimicry to realistically portray scenes and influence the audience. An example is Eisenstein's early film which started as a short comic piece and grew as he advanced in his filmmaking skills.
Lecture transcript The gaze in historical context All right, s.docx
Lecture transcript :The gaze in historical context:
All right, so we're continuing our discussion of film noir, but we're really thinking about it in relation to Laura Mulvey's discussion of the gaze. So I've assigned this piece, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," because it is probably the most influential work in critical cinema studies that's been published in an academic context. If you look up "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," you'll see that it was cited tens of thousands of times since it was first published in the journal Screen in 1975. So it's an older piece, but it's very representative of the ways that ideas in film theory that have a certain theoretical construct around them can sort of make their way into popular discourse. So we're going to think about whether we agree with her take on the gaze and whether it still applies to the ways that film form works today. And we'll also look at some examples of feminist filmmakers from the period that she was writing in who tried to really combat these ideas around the gaze and experiment with what feminist film form could really look like. So when the article had its 30th and 40th anniversaries, there were retrospectives which you can find online if you're interested. There were a lot of articles published in places like The Chronicle of Higher Education, as well as the Screen journal that it was originally published in, as well as in popular media commemorating the impact of "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema." And even now the idea of the gaze has been a part of popular culture and discussions of film. So you can see here, it's been talked about in relation to Magic Mike, in relation to tropes of television. And if you look up male gaze in YouTube, you'll actually see hundreds and hundreds of compilations of clips that are organized around the male gaze, the idea of the male gaze in film. So it's had some staying power. As I mentioned, the article came out in a journal called Screen, which was a really influential journal in the 1970s when film studies as a discipline was really making its way into the Academy, and thinking about ways to unify analysis of film form with some of the more philosophical theoretical ideas that were coming out of critical theory, in particular in Europe. And so Mulvey published her piece in a journal called Screen. And she was very influenced by psychoanalytic theory, which was de rigueur at the time. So if you're a psychoanalytic theorist, you'll have to sort of stay with me, because I think these ideas are a little bit controversial now. And certainly a lot of people have published responses to this article that take issue with many aspects of it, but I still think it's useful, so we'll just move through it. So if you're a psychoanalytic theorist, you take as your starting point that the world is underlined with these deep psychological structures that were studied first by Freud and then revised by Lacan. These structures surface in liter ...

All right, so we're continuing our discussion of film noir, but we're really thinking about it in relation to Laura Mulvey's discussion of the gaze. So I've assigned this piece, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," because it is probably the most influential work in critical cinema studies that's been published in an academic context. If you look up "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," you'll see that it was cited tens of thousands of times since it was first published in the journal Screen in 1975. So it's an older piece, but it's very representative of the ways that ideas in film theory that have a certain theoretical construct around them can sort of make their way into popular discourse. So we're going to think about whether we agree with her take on the gaze and whether it still applies to the ways that film form works today. And we'll also look at some examples of feminist filmmakers from the period that she was writing in who tried to really combat these ideas around the gaze and experiment with what feminist film form could really look like. So when the article had its 30th and 40th anniversaries, there were retrospectives which you can find online if you're interested. There were a lot of articles published in places like The Chronicle of Higher Education, as well as the Screen journal that it was originally published in, as well as in popular media commemorating the impact of "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema." And even now the idea of the gaze has been a part of popular culture and discussions of film. So you can see here, it's been talked about in relation to Magic Mike, in relation to tropes of television. And if you look up male gaze in YouTube, you'll actually see hundreds and hundreds of compilations of clips that are organized around the male gaze, the idea of the male gaze in film. So it's had some staying power. As I mentioned, the article came out in a journal called Screen, which was a really influential journal in the 1970s when film studies as a discipline was really making its way into the Academy, and thinking about ways to unify analysis of film form with some of the more philosophical theoretical ideas that were coming out of critical theory, in particular in Europe. And so Mulvey published her piece in a journal called Screen. And she was very influenced by psychoanalytic theory, which was de rigueur at the time. So if you're a psychoanalytic theorist, you'll have to sort of stay with me, because I think these ideas are a little bit controversial now. And certainly a lot of people have published responses to this article that take issue with many aspects of it, but I still think it's useful, so we'll just move through it. So if you're a psychoanalytic theorist, you take as your starting point that the world is underlined with these deep psychological structures that were studied first by Freud and then revised by Lacan. These structures surface in liter ...
Film Language
This document provides an overview of the development of film theory and criticism from the early 20th century onwards. It discusses key theorists and concepts such as Griffith inventing montage in the 1910s, Eisenstein's collision montage in the 1920s, Pudovkin's linkage montage, Bazin's rejection of montage in favor of mise-en-scene in the 1940s-50s, structuralism and semiotics in the 1960s-70s, and debates around narration, iconography, and the shot/reverse shot sequence. The document traces how understanding of film as a language was established and refined over this period.
Film essay1
Eisenstein viewed film as composed of two elements: photo fragments of nature recorded and then combined in various ways to tell a story. Just as a musician uses scales or a painter uses colors, filmmakers use individual shots combined through montage to create a larger work. Contemporary theater and cinema demonstrate this view through their use of realistic elements like settings, physical acting, and sensory details to immerse audiences in the story.

Lesson 9 narrative
This document provides information on narrative structure and analysis for two American films from the same genre. It defines key terms like protagonist, antagonist, narrative, and story. It discusses Aristotle's and Todorov's theories of narrative structure. It also covers narrative devices, binary oppositions, Propp's character types, and how character motivations and conflicts drive narrative. The purpose is to equip students with tools to compare and critically analyze the narratives of two American films from the same genre for an exam.

The document discusses various concepts related to story structure and narrative techniques including Robert McKee's principles of inciting incidents, Joseph Campbell's hero's journey monomyth, and an analysis of the structure of the 2011 film Rideshare. Key points covered include the importance of an inciting incident that upsets the protagonist's status quo, using story beats like crisis points and climaxes to drive the narrative, and analyzing Rideshare's plotline through this structural lens. The document also touches on other concepts like point of view, figurative language, and Aristotelian distinctions between mimesis and diegesis in storytelling.
5. representative theories
This document discusses several theories of representation in visual media:
- Causal relation theories explain representation through the causal link between the object and its depiction, such as in photographs. Recognition theory also emphasizes causal links and resemblances.
- Resemblance theories argue representation relies on perceptual or non-perceptual similarities between the depiction and object.
- Convention theory holds that representation depends on symbolic conventions that link depictions to their subjects.
- Mental construction theories like illusion, make-believe, and seeing-in propose that representation involves imaginative or cognitive processes in how viewers engage with depictions.
The document concludes that future work could synthesize ideas across semiotics, phenomenology, and rhetoric

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 1. A DIALECTIC APPROACH TO FILM FORM GROUP 4 Dominique Alford Sarah Woubneh Kelsey Fitzsimmons Shanera Leon Sean Kneese Evan Klein
- 4. SOCIAL MISSION “…to cause the mind to think and to question what its seeing”.
- 5. NATURE “the difference between what is real and what is created”.
- 6. A montage is a basic element of cinema and established by Soviet film as the “nerve of cinema” A montage is when single shots are placed one after another and the movement of these shots are said to create a rhythm Known as the “epic principle” a montage is the means of unrolling an idea with the help of single shots
- 7. However the author does not agree. He says that describing a montage in this way means defining a given object solely in relation to the nature of its external cause He believes a montage has more of metric relationship rather than rhythmic In his opinion, a montage is an idea that arises from the collision of independent shots
- 8. “We know that the phenomenon of movement in film resides in the fact that two motionless mages of a moving body, following one another, blend into an appearance of motion by showing them sequentially at a required speed” The author claims this description of blending has the responsibility for the popular misconception of the nature of montage previously noted
- 9. CONFLICT AND MONTAGE Manifestation can mean that the shot is not an element of montage or the shot is a montage cell. In this formulation there are division of Sub-title and Shot Shot and Montage.
- 10. There are 3 different phases to the homogeneous task of expression. 1. Purely Verbal Utterance – without intonation expression in speech. 2. Gesticulatory Expression – projection of the conflict onto the whole expressive bodily system of man. 3. Projection of the Conflict into Space – zigzag mimic expression is propelled into the surrounding space following the same formula of distortion.
- 11. TYPES OF CONFLICTS WITHIN THE FORM CHARACTERISTIC Graphic conflicts Conflict of planes Conflict of volumes Spatial conflict Light conflict Temp conflict Conflict between matter and view point – spatial distortion through camera angle Conflict between matter and its spatial nature – optical distortion by the lens Conflict between and event and its temporal nature – slow and stop motion Conflict between the whole optical complex and different space
- 12. THIS WILL GIVE US AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE FILM PROBLEM
- 13. PICTORIAL SYMBOLISM Symbols or photographs The purpose of pictorial symbolism is to note important details of film stories Pictorial must be learned and deciphered and depending on the meaning behind pictures and the culture that created the pictorial
- 14. EXAMPLE PHOTO
- 15. EMOTIONAL DYNAMIZATION Dynamization: Expresses psychology emotional in films that becomes emotional dynamization Symbolism: symbols that show emotional effects in the movie Stylistic gesture Harp sequences (Sad Results) Purely dynamic (Positives Result) Cutting montage- cutting images from movies http://www.slideshare.net/shaneral/powerpoint-31866780
- 16. Eisenstein believed that nature’s eternal fluctuation is dialectical- the result of the conflict and synthesis of opposites Dialectic approach is an approach to film form that presents an ideology by associating two opposing elements Two separate concrete objects can be associated to create a symbol Unlike painting that uses abstract lines and colors, film relies more on concrete images within the frame
