The earlier text I read describing the Kuleshov experiment must have been wrong--text from Kuleshov on Film -- Writings of Lev Kuleshov, translated & edited by Ronald Levaco, includes Kuleshov's description of his own experiment, which lists the non-actor shots as: a plate of soup, a girl, a teddy bear, and a child's coffin. I'll defer to Kuleshov on that one. <g> --KQ |
In fact, now that I think of it, wouldn't the Kuleshov experiment be a good example of the Gestalt effect? Any psychologists around? --KQ
