Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay on how different directors make use of off-screen space.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> is what we <em>don\u2019t <\/em>see on-screen. And no, we\u2019re not talking about the time-intensive labor that goes into costuming and makeup or careful, coordinated stuntwork. No, we literally mean what\u2019s<em> off<\/em>-screen.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other forms of art (like, say, painting), viewers understand that a movie\u2019s camera is pointed at something in the real world. Even if a movie is entirely shot on a green screen, that green screen <em>exists<\/em> and has limits of its own. In this way, off-screen space \u2014 what exists outside of what is visible in a given frame \u2014 is a medium-specific condition unique to movies. If cameras are an analogy between our eyes and the world, we understand instinctually that there\u2019s always the existence of something mor<em>e<\/em> just out of view.<\/p>\n<p>But, (and this is where things get spicy) off-screen space can also serve as an aesthetic technique. It can offer opportunities for rule-breaking comedy \u2014 jutting hands, emerging unexpectedly from just out of frame. It can suggest and emphasize shocking or violent action in horror films and thrillers. And it can violate our perceptual expectations in surprising and meaningful ways.<\/p>\n<p>The video essay below touches on some of the ways in which filmmakers use off-screen space to create distinctly cinematic ways of communication. The essay focuses in particular on <strong>Robert Bresson<\/strong>\u2019s <em><strong>A Man Escaped <\/strong><\/em>(1956), a historical prison escape film that uses off-screen space not just as a technique, but as a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CWhat_is_Off-Screen_Space%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cWhat is Off-Screen Space?\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Off-Screen Space?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lKQDLf-Nt6c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" data-inc=\"3\">This video essay about off-screen space\u00a0is by\u00a0<strong>Jordan Schonig<\/strong>, who holds a Ph.D. in Cinema and Media Studies from the University of Chicago.
