Article

I found this article slightly easier to understand than the past few weeks. Conceptually at the beginning I had sort of a difficult time understanding his pre-film analogies. As the article moved on though, I liked his emphasis on the cuts themselves between two images are almost as important as the image itself. He referenced a scene in the movie we will view tonight, Potemtikin, and said that a clean face and a bloody face were the frame transition. The viewer could see, and presume what happened just by the cut and not actually even have to see the action. So in a sense that is Cinematography. The way the images are arrayed with each other to make the scene cohesive or not so. Einstein did a good job of using frame examples to explain his points and like a few others have mentioned I liked his analysis of Kabuki theater to help explain his points.
