The Kuleshov Effect is a film editing (montage) effect demonstrated by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s. It makes viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation. This is a linear editing sequence of 3 shots with 2 variations of shot 2 to provoke different meaning from your audience.
This is our storyboard, it shows our initial ideas, which were quickly created into small clips.


 We decided to create our own version of the Kuleshow Effect. We used Oscar as our first short clip of him staring forward and  the third shot of his reaction with a laugh. We used Poppy and Cerys for the clip in-between. for the first clip we used the scenario of Cerys being tripped over by poppy, this then provoked Oscar to laugh. For the second short clip we changed only the middle clip to Cerys being tripped over by Poppy but she fell and cried. This then was followed by Oscars laugh, this then changed the audiences perspective on Oscar and his reaction to the two incidences.


Cast members:  Oscar Stevens , Poppy Collins and Cerys Hugh's.

     ROUNDHAY GARDEN SCENE What is the basic plotline? It was taken in the garden of the Whitley family house in Oakwood Grange Road, Roundhay, a suburb of Leeds, Yorkshire, Great Britain, on October 14, 1888. The 'actors' are shown walking around in circles, laughing to themselves and keeping within the area framed by the camera. It lasts for less than 2 seconds and includes 12  frames per second. The two seconds of 'Roundhay Garden Scene' contains two men and two women in Roundhay Garden. One of the men seems to follow a woman while the other man is crossing the screen changing his path to the other man in the last fraction of the shot. Who made it and who starred in it? It shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley, (Le Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley and Miss Harriet Hartley. The earliest film was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince How did it utilise the technology available? They used the Le Prince single...

Mother! Representation -  All the character's in the film, aren't named which I think shows how no one has an identity. all of the characters don't show any personalities through this film, as the main focus is on the visitors, and how they are controlling them. The main character 'mother!' who is played by the actress 'Jennifer Lawrence' shows a lot of emotions and face expressions throughout the film, which makes the audience feel her emotions too. Her makeup on set is quite natural, if wearing any at all. Her costume, is also very plain and basic. The character 'him' who is played by the actor 'Javier Bardem'  has a very unusual personality, that I find hard to work out. Throughout the film, it came across to me that he cares more about his reputation/career  than his girlfriend. His costume, is also quite smart and tidy which shows how he takes his career really seriously. As said previously the camera is mainly focussed on '...

Kuleshov Effect What do you understand by The Kuleshov Effect? The Kuleshov Effect is a film editing (montage) effect demonstrated by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation. The Kuleshov Effect is a well-documented concept in film-making, discovered by Soviet film editor Lev Kuleshov in the 1920s. Kuleshov put a film together, showing the expression of an actor, edited together with a plate of soup, a dead woman, and a woman on a recliner. Audiences praised the subtle acting, showing an almost imperceptible expression of hunger, grief, or lust in turn. The reality, of course, is that the same clip of the actor's face was re-used, and the effect is created entirely by its superimposition with other images. is. According to Kuleshov, this came into being largely by necessity. Soviet cinema in...
