As I have been learning more and more about film theory I have come to view film in a different way. Now I am far more able to see technical details that I couldn't appreciate before. However, I also have become less focus on the story of film. Sometimes I feel that can make not appreciate the less subtle aspects of film. A film like Hero is interesting because it visuals can distract you from the storyline, which is complex and deep. I feel that I cannot see more of the film now than I could before, I just look at other aspects.MarylandDevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429895499550158563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909028974433107181.post-52619365378088657432009-03-29T19:34:00.000-04:002009-03-29T19:34:00.000-04:00I really liked your blog, Bel, and it was the majo...I really liked your blog, Bel, and it was the major source for my collective response. And, I totally identify with your statement about your love for film in the first paragraph.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://1wynnhunter.blogspot.com/Film Class WGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574385749443106426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909028974433107181.post-83317948081938508352009-03-29T13:42:00.000-04:002009-03-29T13:42:00.000-04:00"Before taking this 'Intro to Film' course, I beli..."Before taking this 'Intro to Film' course, I believed that my intense love for movies stemmed from the escapist aspects of films...it has surprised me to learn that this love has more to do with a narcissistic self-reflexivity and a voyeuristic need." <BR/><BR/>In this entry you raised two questions that seem to be the essence of film studies:<BR/><BR/>How does this film make you feel?<BR/>And, why do you feel that way?<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting that while you still find pleasure in film, the source of that pleasure has shifted more from engagement with the story to appreciation of the creation process. In other words, you've shifted emphasis from question one to question two.<BR/><BR/>As someone interested in creating films one day, I've found this course a valuable resource and starting point for learning the methods of the film industry. Like you mentioned in the entry, it has shaped our understanding of our interactions with film and the meaning of the pleasure (voyeuristic or otherwise) we derive from it.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640412289554361035noreply@blogger.com
