Modern Film Theory
What the director tries to communicate?
How symbols are used to get across his/her
message?
Why such techniques are used in terms of
shots, transition, editing, lighting, sound
effects, musical scoring, location, props,
casting or portrayal of characters?
Both theories compliment
each other:
Technique and content
Director’s message and meaning
on the audience
What is sensibility?
Attitudes towards
the film medium is
audience
perspective.
Refers to: interests,
tastes and style of
individuals, groups
of culture.

Sensibility is a key idea for
helping us to appreciate our
differences in responding to
media and arts.
KEY FOCAL POINTS
OF SENSITIVITY
Fragility
Fragility of sensitivity
may appear like a
delicacy but, rather, it is
a sensitivity that has
been overprotected; not
been exposed to
harsher human realities.
Aspects . . .
Robustness
In our real world of
human evil, the fine-
tuning of a sensitivity
needs to be robust, able
to deal with the
brutality and be
compassionate to those
who suffer (rather than
avoiding the issue or,
when confronted by it,
collapse or become
disillusioned).
Crassness
Aspects . . . The sensitivity not fine-
tuned but wallows in
what is ordinarily seen
as gratuitous is ‘crass’
or rude or vulgar.
Desensitization’ to
language and violence
by constant exposure or
by overexposure.
With children, it is not
that they are
desensitized but, rather,
they have not seen
through an adequate
training in sensitivity.
