Egyptians have always been fascinated by cinema, although most of them are unaware of the techniques and tools used in a movie. On his YouTube channel, “Cinematology”, Abo Soliman posted a large number of videos explaining the suspense techniques of Alfred Hitchcock, the frame composition in Youssef Shahin’s artistic works, and the art of closeups in Mohammed Khan’s films. Although this format is widely known as a video essay, it has never been presented in Egypt before. People need to understand that cinema has a special language that can be easily understood to uncover the symbolism each scene contains, Abo Soliman said. Abo Soliman never gives a priority to certain movies and doesn’t have a certain schedule for analysing any particular items.
