Hi Friends,
How are you doing? Trust you're doing fine and I do hope you're enjoying reading my blog post on "The Language of Hollywood: Storytelling, Sound, and Color" as well. In Part-I of the series, you must have watched the two films - Street Angel and The Docks of New York and the notes I'd shared in last month's blog post on the course I had undertaken which was conducted by Professor Scott Higgins of Wesleyan University.
Of course in both the silent films you must have observed how the directors creatively used 'motifs' to bring out the essence of a scene and engage viewers attention towards it. And well, if you thought that motifs were restricted to just silent films...think again! In the coming months post watch out on how sound and color films too used motifs in different ways to highlight moments, scenes and even establish characters.
