Cinema

The way that the author compares the ways that photography, cinema, and painting are being used as a way to preserve life. For example, when the author was explaining how the ancient Egyptians would preserve the bodies of those who have passed away. The reason behind this was to make sure that when they came back into their bodies it would remain the same. Just like them people now have been preserving moments in their lives through paintings, cinema, and photography. So whenever they want to relive a moment or bring up memories from one of these formats.

In the Blink of an Eye

The part of the reading that really stuck out to me was the fact that when Apocalypse Now  was made, 1,250,000 feet of film was printed, but we only get too see a very small portion of it. I'm interested to know what criteria the editors had to determine what footage made the cut. Even film productions that shoot a lot less footage have a large ratio between seen and unseen footage. I understand the desire to shoot as much as possible in order to find the perfect take, but how does a filmmaker know when they've found it? How does an editor know? What if they are unable to find it? What happens to all the unseen footage? Is shooting tons of footage actually helpful or efficient? Also I never really thought about how accustomed we are to cuts in movies. I don't even think about them when they occur. I totally accept that as a logical reality when I watch a movie.
