After reading the Bordwell and Thompson Narrative my perspective of movies changed drastically. Never did I know how much actually goes into making a single movie. Just how much little details that a viewer thinks aren't that important are just small little key elements that add to the environment of the scene. After finishing the reading, I now feel as though I have gained a greater understanding of the quality and time it takes to put into a movie. Nothing feels out of place and I can see smooth transitions all over and it makes me excited to learn more about them!
