Oracle by Debanjan Das

 


    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 parallel and diagonal line of action. Also this shot is about the movements happening in times with some sets of variable. 

    Referring to Gillies Deleuze idea of a closed system which includes everything which is present in the image. The frame is related to an angle of framing, like here I took the shot behind the trees to the cannael to sky. Where the constant framing can be explore by the camera movement.

    Movement generating differences, like the surfaces are changing through the light of actions, sounds and objects. Also the whole frame reuniting by the same object's in duration.

FRAME AND MOVEMENT STUDY (Referring to Gilles Deleuze)

Image
  This clip shows the camera as a human eye wondering through the area much like a POV structure. Through this video we shall discuss movement and frame, how the frame divide into subsets or parts and how it contributes or connects to the whole referring to Deleuze. In the clip we can  see the camera showing the decors and the area where an event or festival is taking  place. The scene opens up with the view of the grounds then pans up showing the decoration structures. Here I tried to showcase the beautifully dividing of the space into perfectly saturated subsets. According to the thesis of Deleuze, space can be full of saturation, means full of information or it can be  rarefaction, means the opposite. To understand this properly we can take both examples  from the video. Most of the time like the opening scene where space or frame for that  matter can be divided into subsets for instance, (00:15) here can be seen floors,  characters in the foregroun...

A Cat Named Mao - Exercise in framing in accordance with Deleuze

Image
A frame is a "closed system", comprising many parts. The sets, characters, props, lighting etc., play a very crucial role in establishing the pivotal character, or the purpose, of the frame. A frame, or the set established to construct and articulate the frame, has a great number of parts - ‘sub-sets’ or parts. They may be composed in various ways, 'Parallels & Diagonals' being a very intricate way to establish a frame to look up to. In cinema, a very important role of a frame is to provide the required information for the audience, to establish a context, individually, or in abstract, or absolute relation to the frames used in the rest of the shots that comprise the scene. Framing is an integral part of 'film linguistics', with the primary job to 'communicate' and 'inform' - it's the use of this tool that can evoke prose, or poetry on screen. These informations may be numerous or limited, and the Angle and framing are crucial to estab...

Frame, Shot, Movement, and Deleuzion

Image
 December 30, 2024 The video attached above was shot at the ropeway line in Darjeeling. The ropeway system, or machinery, is visible on the top left corner of the screen, emphasising the movement of gears and levers which form the basis for the ropeway system within the frame itself. The opening minute or so of the video refers to Gilles Deleuze’s idea of composition, where we familiarise ourselves with the different elements at play here (the ropeway car, the passengers waiting inside, the machinery of the ropeway system itself, the people waiting outside for their turn, as well as the layout of the location itself.) This shot, despite its stillness, depicts dynamism within it and creates a level  of meaning through how the different elements find themselves arranged on the frame. Deleuze’s concept of decomposition, or, a certain breaking point in a shot where the elements within a frame are rearranged or recontextualised, is evident in the video from 1:31 onwards. From...
