The Kuleshov effect is a filming technique in which two shots in a sequence have a greater impact than a single shot alone. This is a an interesting effect that causes the viewer to express two different emotions from the same scene.
This screen capture shows the sequence I played my video and audio files in. Using the Lumetri Colour option I changed visuals of my entire film so that it was monochrome.
To create the transition between the two sides of the film I added a wave warp while cutting between the eye line shot and a black canvas.
Below is the final short film that I made conveying the Kuleshov effect. The film transitions from having a horror style ending to a more sophisticated ending
This was a very quick workshop with the main intention to learn how to do the Kuleshov effect. Due to this my short film didn't come out as complete as I had hoped, but I enjoyed learning how to use this technique effectively.
