- Title
AESTHETICS IN NOLLYWOOD VIDEO FILMS.
- Authors
INYANG, Emmanuel Nyong
- Abstract
Nollywood filmmakers most often strive to evoke particular feelings in their audience -they try as much as it is possible to create prevailing effects on the minds of viewers', using widely shared conventions. This article reflects on the use of images, light and sound to create beauty and believability in Nollywood video films, using a semiotic approach to analyse select movies. The article suggests that certain aesthetic elements are used in sharing meaning in Nollywood movie productions. Such elements include but are not limited to signs, codes and conventions, and particular camera, lighting, sound and editing techniques, as well as some other specialized vocabulary of movie productions.
