realist mode- an example of realist mode is in the movie Moonlight, when Chiron hit the bully over the head with a chair, this is realist mode because we are on a POV shot. we are on the level of if we were sat on one of the class chair watching it happen when everyone else did.

expressive mode- an example of expressive mode is when we watched the movie Trainspotting, when he lost his pills and shot down the toilet. this is expressive because this did not actually happen, he did not go all the way into the toilet he just dunked his head in to find those pills.

Eisenstein- he mixed both of them in the movie strike, when he compared the workers to circus bears. this is a mix of both because it is not realist but it is about real people in real life, the bears are walking in chains but so are the workers. another example is when he put the distressed bear in chains, then it cuts to the scene of the workers working away in the factory.
