Unity/Disunity – how the use of elements affect the overall film and how we perceive the relationships as clear and economically (efficiently) used.
“tight” – a film with unity, has no gaps in the formal relationships
- every element present has a specific set of functions, similarities and differences are determinable, the form develops logically, and there are no unnecessary elements.
- IS A MATTER OF DEGREE : no film is perfect, each has a puzzling element, a dangling question, an unmotivated action, something left incomplete
