In this lesson we looked at German expressionism. German expressionism is a type of film that was popular in Germany in the early 1920's.
What are the key features of German expressionism?
The example I looked at was a music video called 'Living dead girl' by Rob Zombie, even though it was made in 1999 it was based around the early German Expressionism film '(The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari). This showed me that some of the key features in German expressionism are: Dramatic lighting, distorted set, symbolic action and characterisation.
Where can the influence of G.E. be seen in film history?
I can see the influence of G.E in film history in films such as 'Run Lola Run' which is a later formalist film which includes all the key features of German Expressionism.

Do you really see GE influence in Run Lola Run? Where? It certainly wouldn't be my first choice. Take some time to research this.
