  • The Kuleshov Effect

    The Kuleshov Effect
    2024/11/27
    How do filmmakers manipulate our emotions and perceptions with just a few cuts? This episode unpacks the Kuleshov Effect, a groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized editing and storytelling in cinema. From Brad Pitt’s infamous “What’s in the box?!” scene in Seven to Pixar’s emotional masterwork Inside Out, we explore how juxtaposing shots creates meaning, evokes emotion, and shapes narrative. We also delve into modern critiques and surprising insights, proving that even the simplest edits can wield extraordinary power—or maybe just leave us scratching our heads.RecommendationsAbraham: Crime Scene Kitchen (season 3; https://www.fox.com/crime-scene-kitchen/)Shane: The Art Thief by Michael Finkel (https://www.michaelfinkel.com/books/the-art-thief/)Holidays (11/27/24):Thanksgiving tomorrow!Blackout WednesdayNational Bavarian Cream Pie DayNational Craft Jerky DayNational Electric Guitar DayNational Jukebox DayNational Pins and Needles DayPie in the Face DaySpitegivingTie One On DayTurtle Adoption DayWhat Do you Love About America DayBetter Conversation WeekChurch/State Separation WeekGERD Awareness WeekNational Adoption WeekNational Deal WeekNational Family WeekNational Farm-City WeekNational Game & Puzzle WeekLinks and References: https://nofilmschool.com/Kuleshov-effect-definitionEmotion Recognition and ASD:Baron-Cohen, S., Wheelwright, S., & Jolliffe, T.

  • Mini: How Many Books Can You Read in Your Life?

    Mini: How Many Books Can You Read in Your Life?
    2024/11/26
    It's these silly little questions that we don't think about, but are curious to hear the answer. We can estimate how many books someone reads by figuring out how long books are, how fast people read, how many books they tend to read in a year, and how many years they are likely to live. Depending on who you are, that number yields a pretty big range. But probably less than you might have thought..? Listen in and find out!

    Bad Arguments
    2024/11/20
    Some arguments are so bad that if even they were right, they'd be wrong. In this discussion, we unpack a specific example of criminally poor arguments. We take a couple of paragraphs and dismantal each argument. Perhaps this will even give you some ideas for how to take apart weak arguments that you encounter.

    Humans have not universally hired performers to entertain the crowd during professional sports throughout all of human history... which means that it had to start somewhere!

    A useful, informal template for beginning to understand human behavior is consider a couple of features of the consequences for behavior: the longterm and short term consequences, positive and negative consequences, and the relatively likelihood of those consequences. This is not a comprehensive analysis, but a great starting place. We'll teach you all about it in this discussion.
