Any film-making buffs out here?
Am writing .. need some research material online about European film-making... techniques, style, etc... in particular.. the European look and use of spare negative space.
Know of any resources or notes online? Pls direct me to them.
Much danks.!

i have no idea what you mean by "european" filmmaking...
do you have any films in mind that can serve as an example?

Watch Carl Dreyer's films. Some of the best silent films ever made.

Or ..find out who the DP of some of your favorite films is. Then follow his career and influences.

dude, the last thing you need is to read some film theory (and after all this is what you are asking for) watch some movies and discover for yourself. Stuff discoved by you goes into another part of teh barin than the one just lerned from teachers/books. Also be careful if you are in US writing in whatever European style you choose, as US culture might move too fast for some of those narratives (Tarkovsky has no right of existence in here with his way-too-long-for-life pans).
