Overtures
Example of overture, the intro to Hitchcock’s Spellbound: a singular image with music playing, setting the tone/mood. As it begins, this score morphs into music that is reminiscent of gothic and thriller themes, but it still echoes the romantic music from the overture. Spellbound provides a lot of contexts, and while it does so the doors of the location are closed, we’re not ‘let in’ to the action until we’ve read the context.
Overtures also can be extended along a long title sequence.
Discovering Dramaturgy
Connecting conflicts, visual (social), auditory — its something that you can’t see, but you can upon analysis, and it adds so much depth to the film and its narrative.
Additional Notes
Film Example: Um Dia na Rampa -- a basic example being how it starts and ends in the same place.
Open form, the final solution of the outcome is not revealed. -- an example being Whale Valley which we watched for this week's films.
If something is really of relevance, it will be shown/indicated twice.
