opposition to the illusionistic experiments of Georges Méli?s. As film
language developed, it became clear that film is a mimetic art in a sense
that it possesses the quality of capturing reality itself, which was one of
the reasons why so many people were obsessed by the silver screen. At the
same time the audience was equally overwhelmed by the modification of the
reality previously captured, into a deeper, less profane meaning. These
subtile modifications (misrepresentations) of reality in film, are a
prerequisite for conveying ideas that enrich the narrative and provoke the
audience. Transcendence is immanent to film, and film authors base their
personal style, their own credo, on experimenting, exploring, balancing
within and appreciating this quality. A bundle of tools had been invented
for this purpose, from composition of shapes to combination of colors, from
narrative to editing techniques. A complete and precise list would be hard
to deliver.
