Maya Deren - Creating Movies With A New Dimension

After reading Maya Deren's - Creating Movies With A New Dimension, I grasped a different understanding of movie making as a whole. Deren first started off my telling us the differences between a motion picture(movie) and a still picture. Sure pictures are nice and capture a nice moment in time, but a motion picture of the same moment is alot cooler since you see all the build-up and then what happens afterwards. Just the fact that a camera can moved from a location to a different location to help build space, and that the two shots can be cut back and forth instantly is also unique only to motion pictures. The same technique can be used multiple times to further enhance the scene. Having the desire to discover even more in our filmmaking not only helps us as an individual filmmaker grow, but in the long run it also helps with our basic human developmental skills.

Methods of Montage

After reading Eisenstein's Methods of Montage, the way different clips run together is really important. There is more than just cutting away to a different scene. Some examples are: Metric Montage, cutting to an exact position to add dramatic effect. Rhythmic Montage: cutting different scenes together according to their continuity. Tonal Montage: cutting around to increase the emotions of a scene and Intellectual Montage: cutting according to a scenes intellectual concept. A montage is more than just a cluster of scenes thrown together. Eisenstein says its more "combining shots that are depictive, single in meaning, neutral in content,into intellectual context and series."

Kino Eye

After reading the Kino eye article, I got a better understanding of what goes on behind the camera or a shot. There is a lot more than just setting up a camera and recording something. The Kino Eye taught me that theres a bunch more happening behind the scenes making sure everything runs accordingly. The positioning of an object is important as it could overshadow another element that could be going on or off screen and we'll miss it because this object is more distracting. It's almost like we're violating the camera of its work because of how much more capable it is than we think it is.
