Episode 2, It’s a Sin

Exposition is necessary in drama, but it’s a necessary evil. In the exchanges between 007and Q the Bond movies show how we can “make exposition into ammunition”with character.

Rear Window is a classic movie and a technical tour de force. But it’s not the kind of technique that draws attention to itself. In this episode I look at Hitchcock’s use of the Kuleshov effect and explain the stealthy power of fundamental film technique that anyone thinking of making a video drama should be aware of.
