auteur theory - CORRECT ANSWER-A theory of film
popularized by the critics of the French journal Cahiers du
Cinema in the 1950s. The theory emphasizes the director as
the major creator of film art, stamping the material with his or
her own personal vision, style, and thematic obsessions.
iconography - CORRECT ANSWER-The use of a well-known
cultural symbol or complex of symbols in an artistic
presentation. In movies, iconography can involve a star's
persona, the preestablished conventions of a genre (like the
shootout in a western), the use of archetypal characters and
situations, and such stylistic features as lighting, settings,
costuming, props, and so on.
genre - CORRECT ANSWER-A recognizable type of movie,
characterized by certain preestablished conventions. Some
common American genres are westerns, thrillers, sci-fi movies,
etc. A ready-made narrative form.
film noir - CORRECT ANSWER-A French term - literally, "black
cinema" - referring to a kind of urban American genre that
sprang up after World War II, emphasizing a fatalistic,
despairing universe where there is no escape from mean city
streets, loneliness, and death. Stylistically, noir emphasizes
, low-key and high-contrast lighting, complex compositions, and
a strong atmosphere of dread and paranoia.
Marxist - CORRECT ANSWER-An ideological term used to
describe any person or film that is biased in favor of left-wing
values, particularly in their more extreme form.
realists - CORRECT ANSWER-A style of filmmaking that
attempts to duplicate the look of objective reality as it's
commonly perceived, with emphasis on authentic locations and
details, long shots, lengthy takes, and a minimum of distorting
techniques.
formalists - CORRECT ANSWER-A style of filmmaking in which
aesthetic forms take precedence over the subject matter as
content. Time and space as ordinarily perceived are often
distorted. Emphasis is on the essential, symbolic characteristics
of objects and people, not necessarily on their superficial
appearance. Formalists are often lyrical, self-consciously
heightening their style to call attention to it as a value for its
own sake.
neorealist - CORRECT ANSWER-An Italian film movement that
produced its best works between 1945 and 1955. Strongly
realistic in its techniques, neorealism emphasized documentary
aspects of film art, stressing loose episodic plots,
unextraordinary events and characters, natural lighting, actual
location settings, nonprofessional actors, a preoccupation with
poverty and social problems, and an emphasis on humanistic
and democratic ideals. The term has also been used to
describe other films that reflect the technical and stylistic biases
of Italian neorealism.
editing - CORRECT ANSWER-The joining of one shot (strip of
film) with another. THe shots can picture events and objects in
different places at different times. In Europe, editing is called
montage.
