In this video we examine how using a creative limit in a movie can actually be very beneficial to the storytelling.
We take a look a three movies (Locke, Searching, A Quiet Place) that have very unconventional self-imposed restrictions.

I loved A Quiet Place and Searching, but I hadn't seen Locke yet; so I actually paused this video, watched the movie, and then came back here, because I knew this would be good. Was not disappointed.

The only problem with Searching was the cursor movement; it was obvious that it was made digitally. A natural mouse movement would have been more immersive for us...

@mintyglitches 4 года назад

only issue is that its almost impossible to create natural cursor movement digitally unless you were to actually act out all cursor movements with a green screen background after marking the points you need to hit in the real world etc.

This reminds me of a game I saw a few years ago and absolutely love: Presentable Liberty. This game follows this theme fantastically and truly engages you in a way that seems real. I highly recommend this game for anyone that likes the theme discussed in this video. It's free and only a couple hours long. I think it's how I fell in love with these kinds of settings and story telling. P.S. I love your videos

@jetghoul4182 4 года назад

Searching was such a good movie. The way the father figures the mystery of his missing daughter was phenomenal, it feels like you're able to solve the mystery with him. One of my favorites.

As a hobby writer myself, I sure love limitations as they can be fun to think about. A limit to a characters psyche, ability or whatever can be thought about and played with. Rules and limits make for better stories than the wild endlessness of creativity that makes a writer more easily at a loss for what to write.

@snaxed3380 5 лет назад

@AqibA.C. Год назад

Honestly this is exactly the video that I needed right now. Quiet and direct honesty, when everything else in life feels just so noisy.

@lynchie2073 4 года назад

this makes me think of the game presentable liberty, which takes place almost entirely within one room. you learn only through text, it's mostly waiting and doing nothing, and there is nothing you can do to influence the world outside. however, it's one of the most compelling games I've ever experienced. the atmosphere was oppressive and I cried at the end, and this was just me WATCHING someone else play! it's truly worth your time

The last part of the original Predator movie were Dutch faces of against the Predator there's almost no dialogue but god it's not needed at all and imo it's the coolest scenes in the movie.

Great video!! I found the Hemingway story so interesting I had to google it, sadly to find out there’s no evidence Hemingway’s lunch bet ever happened, and it’s definitively proven he wasn’t the first to write that short story. That story is an urban legend that started in the 90’s due to some misinformation, but oh well... All good stories deserve a bit of embellishment. Again, great work!!

@TheGeorgeD13 5 лет назад

Regardless, Hemingway is the king of using limitations to his advantage. He ALWAYS tried to say the most with the least amount of words possible. He definitely had it in him to write that short story. The Old Man and The Sea in anybody else’s hands would’ve been a much longer book. But in his hands, it’s a short masterpiece. Another author would be John Steinbeck. Said more with less, especially in Of Mice and Men. Brutally short book well told.

@alicearmstrong1702 5 лет назад

For those have seen the movie Buried, what did you think? It’s a movie with only one actor and one location (a coffin). I thought it was okay. It was good considering their limited resources. It relies heavily on the writing, the dialogue. What did you guys think?

@wutzgedudel 5 лет назад

Great example of minimalistic filmmaking, thought of it immediatly too, wonder why they didn't pick it.. I can't really remember how believable it was written, but boy could I not wait to go outside after watching it because that movie really nailed it with the claustrophobia and the stress it puts you through along with the main charakter, so over all I'd say they pulled it of well and I liked it for that. I recommend watching it in the dark, laying down in bed, with a laptop and headphones to experience it at full intensity.

@FilmscoreMetaler 5 лет назад

If Hemingway was German, he'd have needed four words only: Zu Verkaufen: Babyschuhe, ungetragen

@@yuhyeet231 sure you could compress the words to only 1, but then again you really can't claim 1 word to be a story because, well, it's just a word... (sorry to nitpick, ofc I also tried doing it this way at first, just didn't sound right to me)

The way you look at movies for what they want to say, rather than what they necessarily just want to show, is amazing. I know of game reviewers like this, but I've never found someone who can look at movies and find a REAL meaning in them. Not through blatant symbolism that any average joe could point at and feel proud, but things that people don't think about. A Quiet Place is the first movie I ever saw in theater with my ex, and from that day on I've found a special love for film. I wasn't a movie person before then in any sense, and now that I've discovered your channel, I see there's more and more movies that tackle very human issues. I'll be here to watch you grow this beautiful channel into something bigger, I hope to see more inspirational dissections of film from you.

its also fair to say, for any art work, that you need a core message or inspiration, like in music, generic happy or sad or whatever emotion music, without anything else is just corporate music, a background to something with meaning, but itself is just decorative.
