As it's shown from this movie a reality based visualisation is not always the key to a great outcome so...why not? :)Andriana Laskarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867892968303573612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134407305757526016.post-71151465944100454272010-10-31T16:53:22.483+00:002010-10-31T16:53:22.483+00:00oh - and it's Cabinet - not cabinets... This ...oh - and it's Cabinet - not cabinets... This film's approach to lighting and set design would be worth exploring for your House of Usher perhaps? Try something REALLY stylised and expressionistic! :-)tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134407305757526016.post-4126957892822324582010-10-31T16:49:54.489+00:002010-10-31T16:49:54.489+00:00This is a good review, Andriana - very analytical ...This is a good review, Andriana - very analytical and ideas driven; sometimes, the story element is important to include IF there is some specific relationship between it and the way a particular scene is shot/designed/lit etc. It's just that many students seem to confuse 'reviewing with repeating'! Just a quick observations though - you suggest in your review that the 'acting was a bit overdone' - according to whom? This is a generalisation - and a superficial one at that, because the style of acting was 'not' overdone for a 1920 film - it WAS the style. You have to be careful to ensure your reviewing 'in context'; for instance, it would be totally 'non-insightful' for someone to suggest that the special effects in a film made in 1920 etc. are 'dated' - of course they are. It's stating the obvious that old films 'feel' old to modern audiences; that's what's great about your review; you talk about the ideas and themes instead.
