Following along from yesterday’s lectorial, my cinema studies class was based around the idea of a story-world in which a narrative exists. The movie that we studied was Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Age Of Innocence’ (1993). This movie was executed in a way where the narrative flowed fairly smoothly. The editing in between scenes was used in a way to convey a notion of time passing, whilst also maintaining an easily definable flow.
I guess we are all so conditioned to watching Hollywood movies without really taking note of the processes that go into it to make it a standalone reading. Which is where we as Media students come into play. I like that we are slowly becoming a bit more conscious to these techniques and understand how they operate and influence the wider audience.
