Realistic / realism: a style of filmmaking that attempts to duplicate the look of objective reality as it"s commonly perceived, with emphasis on authentic locations and details, long shots, lengthy takes, and a minimum of distorting techniques. Formalist / formalism: a style of filmmaking in which aesthetic forms take precedence over the subject matter as content. Time and space as ordinarily perceived are often distorted. Emphasis is on the essential, symbolic characteristics of objects and people, not necessarily on their superficial appearance. Formalists are often lyrical, self-consciously heightening their style to call attention to it as a value for its own sake. Expressionism: style of filmmaking emphasizing extreme distortion, lyricism and artistic self- expression at the expense of objectivity. Avante-garde: from the french, meaning in the front ranks. those minority artists whose works are characterized by an unconventional daring and by obscure, controversial, or highly personal ideas.
