The Kuleshov effect
Lev Kuleshov attempted to illustrate the power of editing in the creation of meaning through an experiment in which he intercut an actor’s blank face with several other images. Audiences believed the actor was expressing a different emotion dependent on what he was looking at – although the shot was identical.
Alfred Hitchcock explains this in his own way
Students at the University of North Carolina tried to re-create this experiment in 2009
Now create your own Kuleshov experiment. First select an image that will be added to the cells as the main image. Then select a different image for each of the remaining cells by clicking on them.
