There are a lot of visual techniques moviemakers use to convey a certain message.

We took a look at how a film can use external appearances to give us clues to a characters inner world. These brilliant moments come from the Duplass Brothers’ Jeff Who Lives at Home, Drake Doremus’ Sundance Grand Jury winning Like Crazy and Jason Reitman’s Young Adult.

After the video, make sure and go to Vudu’s Movies On Us. All three of our Brilliant Moments choices are available to watch for free right now! All the other movies we highlighted in the episode are also available to rent or own on Vudu.com.
