Do you appreciate how directors and cinematographers capture movement? The decisions made by filmmakers are a fascinating topic. Thinking how movement creates a setting, the mood, and compliments an actor (or vice versa), helps me admire a film when it’s done well.
Cindy’s Lucky 13 Film Club’s topic for September 13 is “Movement in Film”.
I will feature Akira Kurosawa as a reference.
If this topic sounds intriguing to you, and you would like to be a co-host, please email to fine tune the details. No experts necessary, just enthusiasts.

Sounds like an interesting topic. I never really thought about it before.

Some ways seem obvious like a cyclone to Dorothy’s story in Kansas. Other ways are not so–it’s fun to discover how the great ones do it. We should do a WWII, L13FC together sometime!

No, I understand that it’s good, but doesn’t make it clear that there were 400,000 there. I’m not really “up on” the ETO to be qualified to comment either

Why not co-host with me? It’s a lot of fun. All you have to do is create a paragraph or two about the topic and send it to me and show up on the 13th and talk to everyone. I can explain more on email. Think about it. 🙂

No problem, Fraggle. If there’s a genre or a star you are crazy about, then, that’s when you would be a great co-host. Let me know if something comes to mind.

You have tantalised me with Kurosawa, my favourite director, as you know
However, I have done it before, so someone else should get the chance.
Naturally, I will be very engaged on this subject. 🙂

Hi, Cindy:
You present an interesting proposition regarding “movement”.
I’d be willing to offer up the opening sequence of Alexander Mackendrick and James Wong Howe’s ‘Sweet Smell Of Success’ in being the film’s most interesting shot. And in propelling the film’s tale off its starting blocks up to the all night diner entrance of Tony Curtis . And counter it with the opening tracking shot of Orson Welles’ ‘Touch Of Evil’ and/or Robert Altman’s ‘The Player’.
Just some food for thought.

Well, my friend, on the 13th, can you come back and say it again??
I have a co-host and would love your reactions to the hows and whys directors who employ movement effectively.
Was it a year ago we did 70s Horror? Wow.
Hope you are well!
