Deren - Creating Movies with a New Dimension: Time

     This reading gave me a better insight of how time affects the mediums of photography and film making. I found it interesting on how it mentions how one of the goals of photography is to capture a second or moment in time to view the smaller details that are generally lost by the passage of time. As if to contrast that statement on photography, it goes on to say how film has the opposite problem, in which it needs to focus on all the time as soon as the camera starts rolling. It was especially informative to read about how film makers want to use the space-time relationship to their advantage, so some tend to use equipment that helps to modify/warp the perspective of the camera to gain the intended effect for the scene they want to shoot. Overall, I found myself much more appreciative of the time-space relationship in film and learned about other techniques I hadn't considered when filming.
