Staging, Journey, Discovery

Overview

"Staging". Scene staging is an element of film form pointing clearly to cinema's origin: theater. "Journey". Movement is key to a motion picture, and journeys in film can be horizontal as well as vertical (into the self). Travel can be like glue and bind characters from two different worlds. "Discovery". Discovery and revelation shape some of cinema's most iconic moments. But beyond the best-known scenes, there lies the humanity, craft, and insight of discovery.
