EP 53: One Shot Movies - Gimmick or Art Form?

Friends From Film School Podcast EP 53:  One Shot Movies - Gimmick or Art Form? After a short break from the show that was beyond our control, which is explained in the episode, Luke, Brad, and Ellis are back inside the studio and ready to tackle a new filmmaking topic - "Are one shot movies gimmicks or a legit art form?" We dive deep into the history of the "Oner" and how filmmakers such as Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Spielberg, to name a few, have all used the technique. Plus we discuss two recent one shot movies that received critical acclaim, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's Birdman and Sam Mendes' 1917 as well as an impressive oner from the Showtime series Kidding. Listen and find out our conclusion to whether or not the one shot is a gimmick or art! If you liked what you saw, support Friends From Film School on PATREON!
