Film Language 1.1

       This landscape tries to elaborate how the reflections and lightings can link some larger sets to a whole. The shot was taken near the Subhasgram 220 kv substation of WBSETCL. I tried to convey that reflection can link some border situations in multiple perspectives. Like how the sunset is performing as the oracle factor to locate or relocate the overall energetic performance by the chirping of birds, Azan and the movements happening within the frame by the duration. The frame is configured with some multiple elements to produce saturation.       Inside this shot, the elements of the frame are qualitatively different, but angles of framing or points of view are relatable to the notion of an open whole. The sounds of prayers, movement of some vehicles, sounds of cricket and other scenes in the shot are constitutive and communicating with time.       Changes in the lines of reflection by the trees are comprising through the...

  Link-  https://youtu.be/XTNKoB34H1k?feature=shared A frame / set has a great number of parts : ‘sub-sets’ or parts. They may be composed in Parallels & Diagonals etc. This 5-minute, one-take shot framing as a closed system, organizing all visible elements into a single shot . The frame itself is a dynamic space, structured through motion, each contributing to the narrative's,3.28 sec compose and decompose (When the kid was caught in the frame with a love-painted balloon). The areas outside the frame—out-of-field—are crucial, adding depth by either remaining subtly altered to influence viewer perception. The shot becomes a "movement-image," where not only the relative movements within the frame but also start evolving narrative on 1.22-1.55 sec when the camera shifts from the burnt doll to the baby girl.Editing techniques like montage and camera mobility, while traditionally used for complex transitions, become less relevant in a single shot, but the movement within ...

"Framing is the art of choosing the parts of all kinds which became part of a set. This set is a closed system, relatively and artificially closed." —  Gilles Deleuze, Cinema 1: The Movement-Image, p. 20 Link: https://youtu.be/zwpUp4ccGbg The two-minute, forty-one-second video explores film language, capturing the ebb and flow of urban life through a single continuous shot. Through framing, movement, and sound, the video demonstrates how elements within a frame interact, divide, and reunite, creating a dynamic "movement-image" that records time and its variations. The video opens with people crossing railway tracks, framed by two overbridges, one for vehicles and one for pedestrians, forming parallel lines that structure the composition. The bustling marketplace hums with activity, extending the visual frame into an "out-of-field" space, as Deleuze describes, connecting the visible with the implied. The frame is layered with parallel, diagonal, horizonta...

 Gilles Deleuze, a French philosopher, wrote extensively on cinema and film theory. His work on movement in cinema is particularly influential. Here's an overview: Types of Movement Deleuze identifies three types of movement in cinema: 1. Translation : Physical movement of objects or characters within the frame. 2. Rotation: Movement of the camera or objects within the frame, creating a sense of rotation or spinning. 3.Expansion/Contraction: Movement that alters the frame's dimensions, such as zooming or dollying. In the following video I used the translation movement where in a single frame we are seeing two different spaces. I used here a top-ish long shot, one side full of vehicles running through the day. And on the other side of the bridge people are running by themselves, also we're seeing some people are sitting. The frame is visually separated by a horizontal line. Deleuze's ideas on movement and time have been influential in philosophical debates on ontology, e...

UNDER THE OVERPASS                        In the beginning camera moves to left which composes the space under a metro overpass - the apartments in the back ground, overpass in the mid ground and the vehicles moving in the foreground-the spatial composition of diagonals and parallels constitutes the frame here. The visual information in the foreground (movement of vehicles) extends to an other space. The  closed system evolve to a new unseen set which exists in the other side. By the camera moves from left to right the out of field space is unfolding in time-modifying the respective position of the set. Here the frame comprising many parts the scrap store, movement of workers doing their daily work and the natural light- an absolute change from the other space. The sound of metro unfolding an unseen space in opposite direction. The movement to the other direction decomposed into relative movements-distribution between the ...
