Psycho noir: Hitchcock and Bass

Film Noir

film noir uses strong side-light and backlight. No fill light. Hard shadows. Including use of ‘cookies’, gobos etc.

Hitchcock

Theories of montage:
Montage: assembly of pieces of film that move in rapid succession
Cutting
Juxtaposition of shots in rapid succession eg shower scene 75 shots in 65 sec

The trailer

Interesting because it operates within the constraints of modesty of the early 1960s.

“Drawings are abstract. If she had used real people rather than animation, immediately Persepolis would have become an ethnic film about ‘some Arab people over there dealing with their issues with God’

“I am interested in how the materiality of an image can support its
meaning, the tearing or disintegration of paper and marks alluding to
the criminal and emotional disruption of public space. The police
violence in America is happening almost too fast to comprehend and
almost certainly too fast to document. In a series that started with the
death of Trayvon Martin in 2012, I have been documenting the last
image in the victims of police shootings lives. In this film the drawn
footage is worked and reworked until the figures merge with the
landscape and the paper is destroyed. There is a sense of burning,
referencing lynching and also foreshadowing the subsequent riots.”
