Document Summary
Vertigo: male character in his sleep, the colors flashing, the flowers, the animation dream sequence - pure color, sensation, shape, rhythm. Aligning ourselves with his point of view. Does not strain from narrative form of film making, b/c this sequence is completely justified (cid:271)(cid:455) the fa(cid:272)t that it is a d(cid:396)ea(cid:373), the(cid:455) do(cid:374)"t (cid:374)e(cid:272)essa(cid:396)il(cid:455) ha(cid:448)e to (cid:271)e (cid:373)aki(cid:374)g se(cid:374)se. Interior subjectivity in the mind of a character. No meaning for any kind of narrative motivation. Opportunity from seeing the world from an orthodox perspective. Try to give it a little shape by defining it in board feature. Avant-garde films are defined, in part by the circumstances surrounding their production, distribution and reception. Typically, they are characterized by: an artisanal mode of production, distribution and exhibition outside of commercial contexts, a small, specialized audience. Filmmakers define themselves and understand themselves as artists instead of entertainers or crafts people.
