An art film is the result of film making which is typically a serious, independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience. The director uses certain narrative and directorial styles to create a sense of confusion in the story. The reasons behind this is because directors try to create a film that doesn't have a clear, goal driven story, which can usually be seen in mainstream films. This is to make the audience more engaged in the film, as they have to concentrate a whole lot more and have to try and uncover what has happened and have to try create a meaning which they thought the film portrayed. Directors use such techniques as Mise en Scene, Movement and montages to express the idea and establish the specific quality of his work.
The music also is a key aspect in the great success of the film because it expresses yearning for a unity of serenity and sensuousness, an important aspect necessary for the delivery of subtextual content. The author discusses the functionality of the camera in Visconti’s piece and how; like the other aspects of the film, certain techniques are successful in interpretation while others are very unsuccessful.

European Studies, Alfred Hitchcock One of the 20th century’s most influential and successful directors was Sir Alfred Hitchcock. He was born in England on the 20th of April 1899, though later in 1956 he would become an American citizen. His film career spanned over six decades, making fifty feature films, some of which would be considered some of the greatest movies ever made. He worked with some of the most famous old Hollywood actors including Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, James Stewart and Grace Kelly. He had very distinct film techniques, probably the best known being how the camera mimics someone’s gaze, almost as if it takes on human qualities.

She was made a figure-head of the NAACPs cases as unlike many others (such as Claudette Colvin) was the ‘perfect’ citizen regardless of colour.
