Why you should embrace minimalism in movies
What if watching a movie could give you that same imaginative spark you get from reading a great novel? In this video I dive into practical ways that can create an emotional connection between the viewer and what's on screen and make the movie feel more personal.
Here is my video where I talk about comedy and horror: ua-cam.com/video/foKJ675wCmo/v-deo.htmlsi=dGb0ygF6AZzM4w4L

    I appreciate your advices, but I’m a little confused on what your overall intention is. If people want to express themselves through different art forms and they don’t know which ones, or they do know but they’re afraid they’re not popular art forms, that’s one topic. If people know for a fact that film is the art form they want and they’re afraid they won’t get the chance to make a feature, that’s another topic. If an aspiring filmmaker makes projects similar to the examples in this video, that will get them “noticed”, but will it be a ticket to enter the industry? Will the higher-ups watch those projects and believe that the creator is the right fit to make a film?

    First of all we must understand what comedy means: Tragedy. There is not such thing as "happy" comedy, Comedy is a series of events from tragedy, this is evident in the book 'Divine comedy' by dante. If we pay attention, Chaplin's comedy or any jim carrey comedy is based on inconveniences or personal tragedies. it's psychological in many ways

    Title made me think of John Demme's "Something Wild" starting out as a romantic New York comedy then turn on a dime with Ray Liotta into a dramatic movie. His next movie "Married to the Mob" wasn't a great comedy but "Silence of the Lambs" went full blown horror. Comedy is funny because it has a grain of truth to it.

    Umm..will you ever also mention female filmmakers and their visions and styles? Why do you (and every other "film youtuber" for that instance) only ever talk about the same 5 male filmmakers? It's getting boring. It is time to broaden our field of inspiration and the filmmakers we discuss, don't you think?

    Good movies pull emotions out of us; they don't GIVE us emotions like a McDonald's order. The emotions exist inside of us already. As a filmmaker your job is to extract them from us, not substitute them with symbols that must be decoded
