Framing (VPRODUC-related post)

A scene from Citizen Kane and from Hung's second season premiere. Both utilized framing but in different ways. In Citizen Kane, the kid is put in a window frame to emphasize that he is the subject of the adult's conversation. In Hung, the new husband of Anne Heche is also framed in a window, but this time the purpose is for irony. Anne Heche's character talks about how she always gets the man, but what she has now is a man she doesn't really love and who can't even maintain their garden.

It's amazing how Citizen Kane's innovations in cinematography is still being applied today. Galing! I really must watch this. Best American film daw. We'll see. :))

 

Quick Rant

I searched for lyrics for a song and sa comments section nung page, I saw this comment:

"Funny to read all these kids speaking about the profound meaning of this song. Wake up, it's just a random song which means nothing. And you just fell in the trap and give money to the idiot who wrote it. O tempora, o mores!"

HELLO? Every art form, in this case a poem, is open to interpretation. It means nothing? Impossible. May naiisip yung poet nyan habang sinusulat niya yan. There's a reason why he chooses specific imagery, there's a reason why he wrote the song. Nasa audience na yan if they want to give interpretations. IT'S ALL IN THE CONTEXT! There's the intended context and the context where the audience places it.

GRR talaga.

That's all.
