In our class, we were assigned our third mini-task to complete over the following week: an editing task exploring both the psychology and methodology behind the Kuleshov Effect, with the creative intention of demonstrating the effect, and considering the importance of filming to edit and also the significance of how cutting from look, eyeline match and reaction creates meaning. The initial experiment was conducted by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the early 1900’s, in order to examine the importance of both acting and editing. To complete the task, we needed to, like our other tasks, physically take our shots, edit them together into another reel, and then reflect on the process on a slideshow page, both of which are attached below.
