Bazim's Realism

When your dealing with the standards that Bazim puts in film, it's almost unreal to create a piece of work that comes to remotely interesting. Words like montage were not found in Bazim's dictionary due to his dedication of capturing film to the absolute realist extent. By following Bazim's standards, it reverses the Cognitive effect in that films cannot intentionally capture a viewers emotion in that it's up to the viewer to interpret what is shown on his/her own grounds. This method of realism makes the director's job ten times more difficult than it already is by eliminating editing, which is an important tool for the director to know what is being filmed. The effect that Bazim hoped to convey on audiences was to experience every day life through film, almost as the screen wasn't there. Yet, I'm pretty sure people can distinguish the difference when they hear the yawns of audiences members around them. Though Bazim encouraged deep-focus cinematography and panning, it becomes redudant if used as the basis for your entire film ( Citizen Kane even had individual shots/editing). When you talk about the typecasting side of realism, films like Open Water and The Blair Witch Project succeed in trying to convince viewers that even ordinary people can experience danger. Overall, Bazim realism is a difficult task to reach and a myth that most directors tend to avoid ( Hitchcock learned the hard-way)
