Just Things

Just Things, 2014, Video, A Kuleshov Effect Experiment

In the 19010's and 1920's A Soviet filmmaker (Lev Kuleshov) was one of the first to dissect the effects of film editing and implied meaning. Kuleshov discovered through his research that depending on how shots are assembled the audience will attach a specific emotion to it. This short film is my play on this concept as I continue to develpoe my style as student/filmmaker.
