Preparing for Pride Propaganda

On grooming, sexism, and other claims made against us.

(Part 1: Trans People Are Groomers)

The Kuleshov Effect is a film editing technique by which two shots presented in sequence hold a greater meaning than the individual shots. As an example, if I were to show you a clip of a building, then a clip of a hallway, then a clip of a door, you would probably assume that, as the viewer, you have “entered” that building, that this door is inside of this building, etc. Presented in this way, it would be weird if you somehow came to the conclusion that the hallway and door were actually in two other totally different buildings. The Effect can also elicit emotions, such as in the relationship between a shot of a man cutting to a shot of a sexy dead woman (sadness) versus a shot of a man cutting to a shot of a sexy living woman (lust).

Demonstration of the Kuleshov Effect (NFI)

This effect is very useful in narrative film-making. It also makes for pretty effective propaganda.
