What are three things that you've learned in this video essay? How do these relate to what you've learned so far until this point in this class? What does the narrator have to say about the frame? What is it used for?
Three things that I've learned in this video essay are early cinematography, compositional influences, and frames. These relate to what I've learned so far as it goes more in depth from what I've learned from last year's composition unit. We had gone over the history and learned about the influences that theater had on film during the early days and had gone over some of the compositional influences. The narrator says that the frame is able to create subtext. It is used for a variety of instances, such as making the subjects appear in a more unified manner, putting more focus onto the subject, and/or to create deeper implications. It can be used to show separation between "worlds" or people and it could also show themes or other concepts. Frames also don't have to be conventional "frames," such as doors or windows, and could be other things like people or objects.
