Which concept posits that visual choices should serve the narrative goals, with an example of a handheld chase shot to convey immediacy?
Correct Answer:
Form follows function
Explanation:
Form follows function is the idea that the way something looks and moves on screen should serve the narrative purpose of the scene. A handheld chase shot embodies this by reflecting immediacy and urgency—the camera's shakiness and close perspective make the pursuit feel real and time-sensitive, directly supporting the scene's goal. Other concepts describe different aspects: mise-en-scène is about what is arranged in the frame; non-diegetic sound deals with audio outside the film's world; and three-act structure is the overall narrative framework. The connection between technique and purpose here is what makes form follows function the correct choice.
