blog for Sept 1-5

1. After reading the introduction chapter to engaging cinema, what are you initial thoughts as to studying the subject of film?

That it's not so easy as just pushing the play button. You have to worry about many camera angles,setting, actors, and sound. There is so many things you have to worry about to engage the viewer on the movie you're making.

2 Are movies a social danger or a social benefit.

It is a double edged sword some say that cinema can cause people to do things they not normally to do, or you can also view it as a way to get out of your normal life and step in the shoes of something you could never do in real life. I think they are a benefit because they make us think outside of the box. and I don't think movies make people do stupid stuff like kill other people that's like saying a gun is the reason there is war.
