3 Brilliant Moments in the Visuals of Character


// Paid Content by Vudu // How do filmmakers communicate someones inner nuance through imagery? This week on Movie Lists we look at Image Systems and how a film can use external appearances to give us clues to a characters inner world. Our Brilliant Moments come from the Duplass Brothers’ Jeff Who Lives at Home, Drake Doremus’ Sundance Grand Jury winning Like Crazy and Jason Reitman’s Young Adult. After the video, make sure and go to Vudu’s Movies On Us - http://bit.ly/VuduMoviesOnUs - All three of our Brilliant Moments choices are available to watch for free right now! All the other movies we highlighted in the episode are also available to rent or own on Vudu.com. So go check out these Brilliant Moments in Character Visuals for yourself and let us know what you think about them in the comments below!
