"The Cinematogrphic Image is Always Dividual" G. Deleuze. by Sourav Kanjilal and Soumita Gayen

Place: Sukanta Sethu (Jadabpur)

The frame is composed of elements which are the data (donnes). These data are sometimes numerous, sometimes limited number. The frame is therefore inseparable from two tendencies i.e. it is either towards Saturation or it is towards Rarefaction. In the following video, the frame tends towards saturation. The railway track, the houses of the human habitats and the narrow lane, all constructs a geometric structure as a spatial composition of parallels and diagonals. However, the dynamic conception of frame produces an imprecise set which are now divided into zones or bands. The frame is now no longer the object of geometric division but of physical gradation. Here, it is by the degree of mixing that the part becomes confused. The set as a whole cannot be divided into parts and neither it is indivisible. But is 'Dividual'. Thus, The Cinematographic Image is Always Dividual as Deleuze puts it.  According to Delueze there is always out of field,even in the closed image.So here,the passing by train and also the narrow lane create the idea of the out of field by adding of space to space or links the seen set to other unseen set.

An Understanding of Deleuze on Frame and Shot by Pritha Halder and Anisha Dutta

An Understanding of  Deleuze on Frame and Shot In this project Pritha and I have tried to put forth the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze with respect to concepts of a frame within a frame, the depth of focus, the geometry of shapes and lines, and the concept of rarefaction in a frame. As Delueze says, a frame is a relatively closed system where sets, characters and props are included. The frame, which themselves form sub-sets, which can be broken down in an image. The Frame is geometric or physical in another way. In the first case, the frame is inseparable from rigid geometric distinction. In this photo we can see vertical lines of trees on both the sides and horizontal lines of the speed breaker. Deleuze's idea of geometry and rarefaction is again portrayed in the image above, showing the electric tubes arranged in horizontal lines. The rectangle shaped boxes add to the geometry as well. The image is rarefied too as the "whole accent is p...

Showstoppers The frame is also geometric or physical in another way- in relation to the parts of the system that it separates and brings together.  More on The First Level: Set, Frame or Closed System ... " The frame therefore forms a set which has a great number of parts, that is of elements, which themselves form sub-sets....Obviously these parts are themselves in image"  The Frame therefore inseparable from two tendencies: towards satuaration or towards rarefaction" Around the World in 8 minutes "...Bonitzer has constructed the interesting concept of 'deframing'(decadrage) in order to designate these abnormal points of view which are not the same as an oblique perspective or paradoxical angel, and refer to another dimension of the image....

A Brief Study on Deleuze by Anustup Roy & Avik Basak

“ The lines separating the great elements of Nature obviously play a fundamental role, as in Ford’s skies: the separation of earth and sky, the earth pushed down to the base of the screen. ” - Gilles Deleuze Fig. 1: A shot of the South City Apartments. Fig. 2: Maidan, Kolkata According to Deleuze, the horizontal lines, separating the elements of Nature, such as the earth and the sky play a crucial role in constructing a cinematic frame. One of the images above (Fig. 1) showcases a residential area with a couple of high rise in the centre while the other one (Fig. 2) brings forth the totality of a landscape. As distinct as they are, both the images adhere to the fundamental criteria of keeping the elements of nature separated quite evidently. “ The frame has always been geometrical or physical, depending on whether it constitutes the closed system in relation to chosen coordinates or in relation to selected variables. The frame is therefore sometimes concei...
