Deception in Film


Film is a very powerful tool that can be used in many different ways, good and bad. We learned that with the Kuleshov Effect we can juxtapose two images together to create a brand new emotional connection that previously didn’t exist. There is a very strange reaction that we all have to movies, and that reaction is an emotion. In essence, when we go to see a movie all we are doing is sitting in a dark room with a bunch of strangers and staring at pictures on a wall.

Strange, isn’t it?
