Kino-Eye: The Writings of Dziga Vertov

     The reading had some interesting (albeit unusual) points that contrast with the filming standard at the time. One of the main things people tried to do with film was to emulate what the human eye could see with the camera. But the Kino-Eye style contrasts that, by wanting to do what a camera cannot do while emulating the human eye. Capturing motion of objects, chaos, and other elements that made things look unnatural in traditional formats is what the Kino-Eye aimed to achieve. It is definitely an interesting perspective and I don't think I would have considered "capturing chaos" as a objective of filming. Overall, I think this reading has given me more to consider and made me think about "how" I want to film, having choices between human eye emulation vs. Kino-Eye motion and chaos, which is something I had not considered up to this point.

Also, I never really understood why some movies start right into the middles of action then cuts to the beginning where it starts inducing charters or some problem. But know I get it. It gets me thinking on how the story is going to play out. It does leave me at this cliffhanger where I want to see more but explains what happens before it gets to that situation. But down fall of that is how some movies give you enough info...
