1 2 3 Course Packet

The chapters in the course packet have made me aware of how much I do not take into account while viewing a film. There are just so many facets to a movie that I never relate to the final product or think about as a means to enhance my understanding of the movie as a whole. I have always found the amount of work that goes into a movie fascinating, but I never think in terms of what it says about the film in its entirety. For the most part, I have never been a movie person. The social aspect of partaking in entertainment with friends and fellow viewers is highly enjoyable but movies are never the top of my list. Reading these chapters has instilled in me the desire to try and see more and go beyond a surface level evaluation. It's almost hard to fathom just how many ways one can analyze a movie. With exposure to these ideas on how to approach a film, it seems they will be a lot more interesting and engaging from here on out.
