Hello Friends,
May the blessings of Easter usher peace, love and joy in your lives today and always! God bless you all.
Alright,coming to this month's blog post, I thought I'd share with you all some wonderful insights on how the grammar of storytelling in films unfolded progressively with the advancement of technologies - right from the silent era to sound and finally with the coming of color. Now, if you have been reading my tweets and facebook posts more carefully, you'd have known that recently I completed a five weeks e-course on "The Language of Hollywood: Storytelling, Sound, and Color" conducted by Professor Scott Higgins of Wesleyan University. In this post, I'd like to acknowledge Prof. Higgins who so brilliantly explained to us the finer nuances of how Hollywood films whether in silence or sound, in black and white or color conveyed emotions and highlighted turning points through visual/ sound motifs,color palette and temperature to engage viewers attention towards details of characters and their surroundings.
