Effetto Koulechov

Questa è una tecnica di montaggio nata negli anni '20. Il regista russo Lev Koulechov pensò di alternare il primo piano di Ivan Mousjoukine alla ripresa rispettivamente di: un piatto di minestra e un bicchiere di vino poggiati su una tavola, il cadavere di una bambina all'interno di una cassa, una donna sdraiata su un divano. Sebbene i fotogrammi che ritraevano l'attore in primo piano fossero sempre gli stessi il pubblico percepiva i suoi differenti stati d'animo (fame? paura? desiderio?).

piu che paura direi dolore.

If I understand it right, the test audiences were each shown only ONE of the three versions. This video here is just a summary of the experiment, probably for film school students.

Quote itekisan:

"desire (erotic woman on a couch)"

Lol, THAT's what that was supposed to be?!

But there is point in the Kuleshov effect, I think. But it would take a look with more expression - like the Demoman's face at Chewiki.

It would also be important to isolate individuals and get honest answers from them.

It might be a good idea to put some footage between each thing the man looks at so the brain can forget exactly what he looked like and the feelings he was feeling.

Although I must say, for me this does not work at all. Maybe most people are unempathic enough to "fall" for this storytelling device, and really empathic people (like me and perhaps you) will only see what the actor really expresses.

I would also scrutinize the experiment's setting - a many such experiments fail to be really scientific, and thus may lead to false conclusions. In this case, for instance, peer pressure and similar effects would have to be excluded.

@GenghisKhan44 I just checked Wikipedia against my understanding of the video description (which was right):

- Lev Kuleshov claimed that more important than acting was the cutting of a film

- to prove it, he used the very same face of an actor shown to test audiences after each a different scene

- the test audiences were impressed by the actor's expression of hunger (soup plate), grief (dead girl in coffin) or desire (erotic woman on a couch) respectively

[GenghisKhan44]

I don't get it. The man has no expression on his face. He looks like me - he's just staring at whatever he sees.
