Erdoğan Gök

Owing to an camera angle and mtv style shots, you can stay awake til the dawn breaks. Coming to the issue of the Aesthetics of the image and the camera use both films of Hasan Karacadağ has barely small commonality. More than a cinema scene, D@bbe has a theatrical understanding of staging. Mainly, there is the sense of disunity with characters the environment that they took place that in the end creates sense of discontinuity. More specifically, it feeds the feeling that each sequence is shot in the same studio with different background. The weak camera movements, such as weak pan movements of camera, make the audience aware of the camera itself if it is a point of view shot or else. Moreover, shots are longer than it is supposed to be. For instance, bearing in mind the computer scene, where our female character reveals the meaning of 0@883, inversely D@bbe, and surfing on internet in order to understand the content of D@bbe. During the 2 minutes period audience watches sliding lines to the screen.
