style is form, and form is actually content. If I gave a mediocre filmmaker the same actors and screenplay in citizen Kane he would still make a mediocre movie. Style follows ideas, there is a reason for lighting working the way that they work in those movies and being honest here, it will probably be one of the reasons someone likes the movie itself. Content is a result of mise en scene, the stylistic unity in other words, kind of dumb the way you talked about it, good video overall tho
Well, whats the most important theme that I just learned after watching? Go quite my job ;) jk , what Im gonna actually do is procrastinate into the sunset by watching Ikiru while not giving a damn about my still ongoing editing project. Wish me luck.
hey mann loved the video but I was moved by the music too so I want to know what music is it from 3:43 from "set everyone up to succeed (it's not about you ) what's the music you used at this I have been googling it and no results plzzz put a link or so thank you
I'm working on an essay for a film class, which will have hypothetical scenarios as realistic illustrations. My thesis, to keep it simple, is about how what happens in a film can happen in real life, making real life moments as dramatic as movie scenes. Question 1. In some films, when a character goes through a traumatic moment, they move on immediately. EX: in Shrek, Farquaad pulls a sword on Fiona, but quite soon (after Dragon eats Farquaad), Shrek and Fiona kiss, get married, and live happily ever after that very day. In real life, can a person to go through (or nearly) something horrible and recover pretty soon when the bad thing doesn't happen? Find their happy moment that day (maybe even hour)?
Question 2. This paragraph is partly off topic, but it indirectly and complicatedly connects to my thesis. Can films have dark _and_ musical moments? Not musicals, Disney, comedies, or animations; movies that are mostly serious and dramatic, and only slightly comedic. Like Hallmarks? Can such films have musical performances or background songs? Here are two hypothetical examples to clarify: the hero is building traps for the villain, during which “Everyday Hero” plays to signify he’s gotta save the day. Awesome song, but during a *_life and death_* situation? Or suppose the final fight with the villain results in their *death,* and during the *happy* ending *_soon_* after, they perform a song (say, at a party), to celebrate the film’s resolution. Mood transition too rapid?
I'm not sure if I can effectively answer this here, but I'll give it a shot. Others are welcome to chime in. I think the simplest answer is that films require us to maintain a suspension of disbelief as an audience. It is unlikely that people in real life can move on from a traumatic moment so quickly. And in some cases, even if they did move on quickly, it would likely stay with them throughout their life. But in a two-hour story it's impossible to realistically give the trauma its due, in particular when you consider that most films revolve around a traumatic moment happening at the beginning of the third act (90 minutes in). I do think that Shrek is a bit of an odd example to use because it's animated and therefore already far from reality. But many, many movies move on quickly from the horrible. Pretty much every action movie does. Think of all the horror that John McClain witnessed in Die Hard, and he walks off happily at the end. And I'm sure Kevin from Home Alone is going to have a life of nightmares and distrust when he thinks about two guys who tried to kill him when his family abandoned him (more than once!). However, because the audience has suspended its disbelief for the duration of the film, it's an accepted norm that the filmmaker doesn't have to address all that within the film. Last thought: The Graduate is a great example of a crazy, wild, traumatic moment right at the end of the movie and then the characters riding off on a bus at the final moment clearly staring at a life ahead of dealing with that trauma. Hope any of that helps!
In answer to question two, I think films can have dark and musical moments. Music is an important tool for any filmmaker. A scene whether happy or sad, hopeful or dark can benefit from the right music choice. Most movies use the score to amplify (and suggest) emotions to the audience. I think of the death scene in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. For a pop music example, in A Bronx Tale, the Molotov cocktail scene that results in C's friends' deaths takes place with James Brown's It's a Man's Man's Man's World playing throughout. Now for the second part of your question, the transition from horrible moment to happy ending. I think you can move from a dramatic moment to a happy ending fairly quickly in a movie because of (as I mentioned in the answer to question 1) the suspension of disbelief. People are willing to accept a fairly quick transition. In Star Wars the film moves rather quickly from Luke blowing up the Deathstar to the scene where the pilots get their medals. Transitions like that happen all the time in cinema. Music can sometimes help with the transition. And often times films have what's sometimes called "an obligatory scene," a scene after the climatic moment to illustrate things are ok or that life is going on in a positive way. This helps the audience transition through what they've just seen and to tie up loose ends before leaving on an upbeat note. I'm sure many of these scenes use music to help shift the mood. Again, hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for checking out my video!

Most important lessons a filmmaker must know
Thanks for making this video, amazing ❤👍
Thank you for this
