Aesthetics and film style

Genre, narrative, representation and style

What you need to know

What aesthetics means in film: the look and style created by combining every element of film form.
Aesthetic effects in a single shot or sequence, and a distinctive style across a whole film.
Influences on a film's style: genre, other films and movements such as realism and expressionism, and the director's signature.
Spectacle that holds us more than the story, and how to judge how typical one scene is of a whole film's style.
