What makes a cinema rule? And why do they exist? And what happens when you break them? Subscribe:
http://goo.gl/9AGRmSometimes it feels like every movie that comes out is the same and that’s why it’s so great when a film can shake things up and look at cinema in new and unexpected ways, breaking filmmaking rules to give us something different.
What did you think of the list? Do you disagree with any of our picks? Feel like we left out or mis-represented any of the films? What film that break traditional filmmaking rules is your favorite? Which makes you uncomfortable?

THE LIST
Invisible Filmmaking - Dogville
It's not as much breaking the 4th wall as it is demolishing all of them, but the effect is exactly the same. It's a constant reminder to the audience that what they're looking at ISN'T REAL.
Editing Rules - Breathless
When everyone was trying to make you forget about editing and cuts and believe that movies were real, Godard was chopping up his film and throwing them right in your face, bringing the very artifice of editing right to the forefront with the jump cut.
Shooting Rules - Tokyo Story
The most important rule of all is called the "180 degree rule" and it's a shooting guideline for establishing a dependable screen geography. Although this kind of screen continuity pervades almost every film you could have seen in theaters for the past CENTURY, Yasujiro Ozu tossed it out the window
Colors / Visual Style - Enter the Void
Enter the Void used lighting and camera and visual effects in a way unlike anything ever before it. The story is an out of body POV experience in more ways than one, and an absolute visual revelation in terms of how to view the world.
Genre - From Dusk til Dawn
A quick-talking Tarantino-esque crime film STARRING Tarantino and a fresh-from-TV Clooney, From Dusk til Dawn makes it just about halfway through without a single undead, before quickly pivoting into the kind of balls-out actiony-vampire-shoot-em-up that's pure Rodriguez.
The Hero / Protagonist - Psycho
Hitchcock purposefully set out to mislead his audience and then devastate them, like an old-timey George RR Martin. He used their expectations against them, carefully cueing them to invest in Marion Crane as the hero of the film, before stabbing them in the metaphorical heart.
Story Structure - Last Year in Marienbad
Truth, fiction, time, place, logic and cause all fold in on themselves, creating an escher-like narrative structure that refuses to be linearized in any kind of story map.
Having a Story at All - Jeanne Dielman, vingt-trois quai du Commerce, mille-quatre-vingt Bruxelles
The film is honest about life in a way most others are not. It does not select the fascinating. It does not focus on the important. It does not trim the fat.
Coherence / Causality - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
It is a bizarre storyworld where anything can happen, asking us all to interrogate our own logical assumptions, and those of of the stories we consume daily.
Linguistic vs Emotional Storytelling - The Mirror
Images speak, but not in words or symbols. They do not attempt to convey to us logic or language or concrete plot. But instead thoughts, emotions, memories in the abstract. Before processing and verbalization.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
