Document Summary
Chapter 1: looking at movies: what is the difference between implicit and explicit meaning? (and how do these terms relate to onions, and ogres, and a movie such as juno?) Implicit: lies under the surface of the movie, implied, deeper meaning. Explicit: the obvious meaning of the movie, lies on the surface. How it compares to ogre/onions/juno - in shrek, he mentions how ogres have deeper layers in them just like onions do. One way of analyzing films is by the shot-by-shot analysis, though that is typically used only for: small clips or scenes. Film analysis is closely connected to film theory. The analytical approach primarily concerned with film form, or the means by which a subject is expressed. Just as the techniques of filmmaking can go unnoticed during a casual viewing of a movie, so too can the cultural mores and prejudices lurking under the surface of a movie.
