EN 3070 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Double Indemnity
Document Summary
So many things are filmed in a creepy, enclosed corridor when you could have chosen to present action in open spaces; another form of rhetoric and how a film is presented to you; resembles grammar: repetition. A way of putting things together sequentially and way of emphasizing; would stand for both rhetoric and grammar. Not about the fineness of writing, but simple and straight-forward is preferable; virtue lies in the plot. Scenes of word/image relations and ratio: opening sequence. Overlook overlooking the history of the hotel, overlooking scenery. The camera is overlooking the family car as it drives toward its isolation; winding road, tilted camera angle. Like the shining in a sense that it can go ahead, can come back, can see the future of the people it passes; like an ethereal supernatural force. Includes the clue of murder, the old woman is reversed in the bathroom, reflection of a lake.
