Bertolt Brecht

  1. Bertolt Brecht was a famous German playwright and poet. Brecht started to write political poetry and plays at an early age about social issues. He was branded a troublemaker at school and got expelled for writing anti-war poems. Brecht became interested in Karl Marx’s Theories of Socialism. Brechtian film uses an anti-illusionistic style of presentation. It replaces the hypnotized spectator with the critical, rational one. The focus shifts from action and outcome to argument and analysis, using devices such as intertitles and commentary. 

  3. Verfremdungseffekt was used to direct the audience’s attention to something new.This was done by getting the scene started, and then doing something unexpected. When the rhythm is interrupted, the audience stops getting lost in the emotion, story and characters. They are able to start to think and question.

How and why, use examples taken from your piece ● What have you learned from this project that might be useful for the next project / FMP? ● Bibliography / list of references Our smashing stereotype  project had a concept of  the idea about ''don't judge a book by its cover''. The reason for us choosing to do this is because  we believe in today's generation and society  people cannot be themselves without having a label on them, for example a male may act feminine  however will still get labelled as ''gay''.  The reason behind us choosing this idea is because its a good way to get our message across about not...
