Preface
capacity of film to manipulate Time and Space (35)
ballet
african desperate
sci-fi?
form as ritual
'an organization of ideas in an anagramatic complex instead of in the linear logic to which we are accustomed'
1c
'The capacity of the camera to represent a given reality in its own terms'
'the reality passes directly through the lens of the camera'
'imaginative reality'
'human vision played a creative role in simplifying and idealizing reality''
camera's intention in line with its imagined perspective
has same limitations as written records - assumption of truth and objectivity
'a world of art is primarily concerned with the effective creation of
an idea
' --> 'motivated point of view'
the camera's presence affects the way someone behaves
"illusion of reality" (Hammind)
'does [creativity] begin, as Mr. Hammid last implies, on a level different entirely, where the elements are
recombined
, not in an imitation of their original and natural integrity, but into a
new whole to thus create a new reality'?
2c
'the aesthetic problem of form is...simultaneously a moral problem'
'the form of a work of art is the physical manifestation of its moral structure'
'naturalism is presevred only if the pieces of film are conscienctiously recombined into the relationship of the reality itself'
elements - space, time, sound, colour
senses?
Hollywood films to other arts (drama, lit) as docs are to social reality
but film proper is when filmic reality depends on recombination of film-elements
'the emotional impact derives not from what we see but from the verbalcomplex which the image represents' (signifiers)
the ayduence must also 'develop a receptive attitude designed specifically for film and free of the critical criteria which have been evolved for all the older art forms'
3c
talks about audience members as 'sleepers' --> 'the selected dream without responsibilities'
film imagining reality > reproducing it
'the history of art is the history of man and of his universe and of the moral relationship between them'
Rancière
Redistribution of the
senses
--> what is (can be) sensed
Medium specificity --> film devours other media --> redistributing senses via redistributing media?
Marx
Separation of product from labourer
Engell
New German Media Theory - ontogenetic machinery
media produce and reproduce things
'makes something invisible visible'
