An Experience in Neurocinematics
An Experience in Neurocinematics
BY GRAHAM DUGLISS, SAMUEL MAJCHER, AND DANIEL MANNANOV
Is a film the sum of its plot, or is there something more? How do film editing techniques affect the way we perceive a film? This project showcases different film editing techniques and discusses how intensity and chronology can alter viewers perception and focus.
This episode was produced by first semester freshman as part of a first year colloquium titled “Neuroscience-Fiction in Film” taught by Angel Kaur during Fall 2018 at UNC Asheville.
