#sweet smell of success
A whole month, and this is what I got
How do you emphasize to the audience that something is important? Well, you could always cut to a close-up, but how about something subtler? Today I consider ensemble staging — a style of filmmaking that directs the audience exactly where to look, without ever seeming to do so at all.
Eight Ways to Get the Audience to Look at Someone/Something:
1) Let Them Speak
2) Make Them Brighter or Bring Them Closer
3) Let Them Move (Especially Hands or Eyes)
4) Put Them in the Center of Frame
5) Turn Them Towards the Lens
6) Separate Them from the Group
7) Isolate Them by Moving the Camera
8) Have Other People Look at Them
On This Day in History June 3, 1925: Actor and heartthrob Bernard Schwartz was born in Manhattan, New York. Don’t know who Bernard Schwartz is? Maybe you’ve heard him by his more famous name of Tony Curtis (June 3, 1925 - December 29, 2010.)
Curtis had a wide range when it came to acting from comedic roles in “Some Like It Hot” (1959) to drama in “The Defiant Ones” (1958) and “The Count of Monte Cristo” (1975) to thrillers in the “Sweet Smell of Success (1957.)
Curtis is the father of actress Jamie Lee Curtis via his marriage to fellow actress Janet Leigh.
