I linked to a site featuring film terms. The site briefly describes formalism in terms of how this technique may include six different types of shots, five possible camera angles, the lighting, and the color of a film. For instance, the site mentions how avant-garde films generally demonstrate aspects of
"...distort[ed] raw materials so that no one would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing; the stylization calls attention to itself, often, so the style of expression is at least as important as the subject matter itself."
This quote explains how the author believes that the genre of avant-garde films oftentimes portrays altered images and events to suggest that the manner in which a film is directed and shot holds as much importance as the film itself.
