Concrete Babylon - Project Announcement


The wish of making a feature film has been with me for several years but I have always had too big fear of failing, because of lack of knowledge, lack of skill or of finance or because of some other excuse, that I've never tried to fulfill my wish. I only spent my time trying to educate myself and "waited for the time to be right". But theoretical knowledge is only knowledge in theory until applied in practise and experienced, and waiting for the right time is waiting for something that never will happen since waiting never makes anything happen.

I've decided that now is the only right time for Concrete Babylon to happen.

I've started a sub-page for Concrete Babylon on this site where I will upload images and film-clips. I will also write updates for how Concrete Babylon is going here on the blog so that it'll be easier for those interested to keep updated.
Hopefully you will find Concrete Babylon interesting and enjoy the film when finished.

Thank you for taking your time,
Peter Hertzberg

Subtext Through Metaphors and Metonymies

We have all heard that great stories are told through their subtext. But what is subtext? Generally it's said that the subtext is what is not being said, but if this is the case, why doesn't a TV, that's been turned of, communicate a lot of wonderful subtext? Saying that subtext is what's not being said is just explanation using empty words and has no practical value. Subtext is the part of the story told in the audiences imagination . To use subtext optimally we need to influence and control our audiences imagination and do it with out them noticing it. If they start noticing the tools we use to try to influence them they will be paying attention to the tools and not the characters and the story - with other words: We've lost them.
