Empathy is either painful or not there
We edit all that happens in our day and today, after all the chores, I went for a walk in the park with ms mcg and then we came back. I didn't feel good about the image or sharing it and I usually edit out some of the most disturbing images from the Patch but that previous image needs at very least some antidote and some thought. So the Kuleshov Effect as described below. Of course these two personalities are not so likely to feel an empathy for each other but they live under the same roof; are interested, curious and possibly even amused by one another's company. There again... they both live and acknowledge my gaze so why not each others? This is the first image I have ever used twice but desperate measures. A curious flower or a dandelion patch standard just wouldn't work. Thanks Avaaz; there are few things we see that are quite so disturbing as they arrive on the screen. Syria... Iraq... Afghanistan... and even here in UK and Europe people suffer impossibly appalling experiences at the hands of our own species. I realize it is the responsibility of each and every one of us to evolve away from it all. To never have some things happen ever again.
Courtesy of Creative Cow and Sven Pape; This Guy Edits describes The Kuleshov Effect. "One of the most powerful discoveries in the early days of editing became known as The Kuleshov Effect: the same piece of footage means different things depending on the shots that surround it. It is a mental phenomenon by which the audience derives more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation. One hundred years later, Sven Pape of This Guy Edits puts this venerable axiom to the test. Does this fundamental principle of modern editing still hold up? Prepare to be amazed." library.creativecow.net/articles/pape_sven/Kuleshov-Effec... Anyway in a quiet way this is my attempt to mitigate a really unpleasant and apparently factual image (possibly on a phone by a ranger??) that needs to be posted.
