“The art of slowing down” An Exploration of Temporal Elongation in Filmmaking

Luke's thesis dissertation investigates the use of temporal elongation in Filmmaking. From Tarkovsky to Tsai Ming-liang, he explores the significance of time in cinema and its impact on the audience's experience. How filmmakers throughout the 20th Century have deliberately slowed down their films to create a contemplative and reflective experience, explore metaphysical and subconscious emotions and challenge traditional storytelling narrative.

Luke's exploration on this topic proved immensely valuable in enhancing his approach to editing. The insights gained from delving into this subject have transformed his editing process, enabling him to refine his skills and elevate the quality of his work.
