Yes the background of your office makes you feel more open, yet I believe your body language affects it quite a bit too. From the eyes, to your confidence in the dominance of the topic and your easy going facial features help. Love your videos, I use them to expand my vocabulary. Keep it up.
thank you. Yes, for open forms, the body language and facial expression obviously tell us what the meaning of the form might be. (that's one difference between the Sound of Music scene and the Christian Bale shot in the video.)
John Sturges' The Satan Bug (1965) has some of the best uses of the Panavision camera for open spaces. Robert Surtees had some brilliant shots showing the isolation of the characters against the California desert. Sturges did this 10 years before in Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), showing how this little town is all alone in the desert, emphasizing the lack of help the town needs.
These are my favourite videos of yours. I know there are only so many techniques and whatnot to cover but I find myself revisiting these to hopefully broaden my knowledge of film
Excellent video. Excellent break down. Even included my fav film of all time, Solaris! Surprised no mention of John Ford! I feel Westerns use this technique more than any other genre. Raoul Walsh was a master of doing more open form shots. A great early example is The Big Trail.
thank you. I have made a number of these over the last two years: joshmatthews.org/learn-more-about-movies-a-short-video-course/ they are prohibitly expensive to make because they take more time than normal videos, plus the algorithms have no idea what to do with them. I will make more if this channel can grow larger.
I really enjoyed this topic! I really enjoy surrealist art for this very reason. It sort of opens up a subconscious landscape in some cases where anything is possible. Dalí, Magritte and de Chirico are some favorites!
the relationship between film and (pick your favorite artform) in the 20th century is a staggering study. I am struck by how "filmic" most novels get to be after say 1920. How did film influence painting? I have never studied that topic, yet it has to be a massive field.
Something that was weird to me was the ending scene to the 400 blows, where there is sort of a contrast between the close-up on the character's face and the openness of the sea. I don't know what to make of it.

much appreciated!
Cool video. Digging this channel, you deserve more subscribers.
thank you, I appreciate this.
This is really interesting. I never really considered this technique and how it can work. Thank you.
you're welcome.

If you could do more of these videos explsining and analysing movie techniques I would appreciate it. Thanks

@@LearningaboutMovies For aspiring artists/filmmakers or anyone interested in the subject they are great

@@LearningaboutMovies Certainly! There are a number of directors in the 20th and 21st century who started out as painters before pursuing filmmaking!

there's a video on the channel about that film, which has some discussion of the last shot/scene.
Pls do more, this are amazing
thank you. there are many more videos like this on the channel. Just check out the "Understanding Movies" playlist.
Loved the open forms in blade runner (if you can call them open forms ) !
I forget that one, in terms of the open forms. Blade Runner 2049 has them in spades, iirc.
@@LearningaboutMovies yes i think the oroginal blade runner is far better
The opening scene in the sound of music takes place entirely in Austria and not even a little bit in Switzerland.
Oops, my fault. Let the correction be known.
Mr Robot comes to mind when they used negative space to create a sense of loneliness or alienation.
great show, for at least the first season.
