Today we want to spend some time looking at patterns, and

how they can cause us to build up certain expectations.

情態副詞

And how filmmakers can take advantage of that to astonishingly powerful effect.

And to do it, we've rounded up five different moments from some of our

In no particular order, and for no real reason other than we love them,

here are five more completely unranked brilliant moments.

Before we get going it's worth mentioning that all of our brilliant moments today

because of the nature of the moments we're looking at.

So if the movie we're introducing is one you haven't seen and

care about going into fresh, we recommend skipping ahead to the next slide.

With that out of the way, let's first look at an abridge scene from The Artist.

The 2011 Best Picture winning silent film, where in former silent film star

George Valentin despairs at his bankrupt fortune, broken marriage and failed fame.

While Peppy the extra whose career he launched beyond his own, finds him

missing from her care, and realizes that he might be a real danger to himself.

This one brief moment of pulling the rug out from under us,

is an incredibly dense spectator experience.

We feel so many different so quickly in a row from such a small conceit.

To begin with, the scene sets up two independent lines of action.

Valentin is on his way to suicide, and Peppy is on her way to Valentin.

The film alternates between these two different lines of action and

developes them in parallel in order to imply that not only are they happening

simultaneously, but they are progressing towards their completion

Taken together, we very quickly assume exactly the what the film wants us to.

That these two narrative lines will eventually resolve.

But we also carry the exact uncertainty that the film wants us to.

It sets up a race between Peppy and her car and Valentin and his gun.

And it raises a narrative question, will she arrive in time or too late?

As the intercutting continues, as the pace accelerates, as we grow nearer and

nearer to the resolution of this narrative question, the tension intensifies.

it seems like the answer cannot be dragged out any longer, we get our answer.

And this is the key frame upon which everything hinges.

First, we have to interpret it in context.

We connect it to the narrative line we just came from Valentin and the gun.

We read it the only way that makes any sense, the gun has fired.

But then we cut to here and our understanding shifts.

We realize this sound wasn't coming from Valentine's line of action, but

We re-contexualize the shot and re-write our mental narrative,

until we cut to here, and our understanding shifts again.

We realize this sound was coming from Valentine's line of action, and

Peppy's line of action, just not in the way we had originally assumed.

We realize that the two narrative threads have finally collapsed into one, and

The narrative question of the scene has resolved itself,

it has satisfied our initial expectations, while surprising us by how.

These three contexts for the bang have given us that rapid fire whiplash

experience that first caught our attention for this moment.

And finally everything came together and made sense.

These just so happen to be the three experiences in this scene.

First, Peppy and her terror that she'll be too late.

Second, Valentin and his surprise at the noise he didn't expect.

a fulfilling reunion where everything works out, all in the span of a moment.

It's a spectacular example of what we think is the essence of a brilliant

moment, filmmakers employing creative cinematic techniques.

Not just because they're cool, but because they mirror in us a version of

the emotional experience that's happening to the people on the screen.

Next, let's look at a pattern that's almost the exact opposite of the artists.

Michelle has woken up from a car crash in a bunker and no memory.

She's been brought there by Howard who insists he saved

her from some sort of apocalyptic event, and that if she leaves she'll die.

Emmet's there too but he doesn't have much more to go on than Howard's word either.

And Howard's word seems a little well, creepy as hell.

begin building themselves a DIY hazmat suit to find out.

Dissolves most biological material on contact.

>> Hey, Howard, what are you showing this to us for?

you're going to have to tell us what it is that you're talking about.

>> I'm talking about getting rid of some waste.

Tell me what you two were doing with these?

You tell me what you two are planning right now!

>> Howard, listen, just take it easy, take it easy.

>> No. >> Howard, Howard come on, please Howard.

>> One chance, to answer with some dignity, or I swear to God,

you're going into this barrel while you're alive to feel it.
