Game of Chess
Shot on location in Jasper Place High School in Edmonton, AB.
Game of Chess is an experimental film in my Film Studies 25 to present a game of chess for a minute, but show only a single move. This was meant to express "Soviet Montage Theory", which is an approach to rely heavily on editing and the sequencing of shots rather than dialogue to express an idea or evoke an emotion. To better understand what we're trying to accomplish, watch the works of Sergei Eisenstein, such as "Battleship Potemkin", "October: Ten Days That Shook the World" or "Strike".
