The kuleshov workshop
Lev kuleshov was one of the few pre-revolutionary filmmakers who stayed in russia
Gave a workshop at the VGIK that turned out to be influential for Soviet Cinema
Aim: tried to define general principles. Showed films to people and tried to understand how to
they interact to those images. Tried to undeerstand the effect of cinema. The film they used
and according to the legend, was ,,intolerance". Understood how griffith was using the film
language. How can i achieve the effect. Usge of editing to create metaphors. Revolutionary
idea: discovery of a cinematic language.
The kuleshov experiments:
· 1: the expressionless face.
· 2: three shots, happy man, revolver, sad man
· 3: creation of artificial landscapes by editing together shots of toally different locations
