      Yeah probably could have have added stuff from that as well. From Duel There's a cool shot shot on a wide angle close to the actors face. It makes him feel cramped and pressure, which really works because the truck is bearing down on him. It's during the climax chase of the movie.

    Thank you for this most excellent analysis on Speilberg and Co. work on E.T. I have always been an admirer of Allen Daviau's style. As for the sequence of Elliot frightened in the field, the cuts and shots of Elliot in fear illustrate each level of his emotion in relation to his surroundings in the cornfield. Including a static shot behind Elliot, where he is sitting on the ground at this point, watching E.T. run away from him, and cutting back to a medium tracking shot and the flashlight he is carrying with him. It is an outstanding sequence showing us the story beat perfectly.

    Hey man, I'm telling you, I've become your biggest fan. There are only three other YT channels I can think of that do uncompromising formal analysis of movies. I hope I'm not just speaking for myself when I say this, but I'd overwhelmingly appreciate it if you covered some artier world cinema classics. Like a Bergman, Fellini, Truffaut, or Tarkovsky. As someone who appreciates good direction, I always say, their films get called masterpieces for a reason you know! I don't know how much you consider those kinds of films your forte, if at all. But boy, I know if you covered one, it would earn my hearty round of applause! Otherwise, I'll tell you something in case you don't know. If you like a good talk on direction, I'd recommend the essays by David Bordwell on what used to be his blog site, "Observations on Film Art." Those essays were instrumental in me realizing how much there was to direction. A fact I feel people sadly miss out on from consuming the majority of videos on film here on TH-cam. He's got essays on all kinds of films of every flavor! If you love film as much as me, I can imagine you'd really get a kick out of them. That is if you aren't familiar with him already. Sadly he passed a while back, the newer essays are being done by successors.

    I always get "Blocking" and "Staging" mixed up. Seems to me like "Blocking" should be called "Staging" (and vice versa), because you're directing the movement of actors like you would in a STAGE play. Whereas "Blocking" in painting refers to the initial stage of "blocking in" your composition, that is, deciding how the characters and other elements will be placed within your canvas (frame).

    • @dollyintomeaning
      @dollyintomeaning หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is tricky! I thought about it like you are moving the whole "stage" or camera with staging and that helped me first remember which is which. Really in this video I talked about both. What's really cool about moving the camera is sometimes it reveals new intentions in the blocking. I first learned about this watching a scene of lotr return of the king.

      Interesting thought! I tend to not like CGI heavy moments. I think part of that has to do with my belief that when reality is an obstacle it can teach or inspire the filmmaker. But maybe I'm over complicating it, maybe like you suggested it's the filmmakers getting distracted by the cool tools.

    You got me to watch a video about Ready Player One, the equivalent of cardboard cereal In a bowl of water, and enjoy it. I hope you're proud of yourself. But seriously, good job man. Edit: grammar

      Lol!!! When i get bored with a movie I'm watching for fun I just start trying to analyze film making technique or lack there of and sometimes sometimes that makes it fun.
