Dziga Vertov

I really did not grasp the meaning of Kino eye until Vertov started making examples with different scenarios. Like with ballet example he used and talked about how the camera would follow parts of the body instead of the whole dance crew. I started to learn what he meant by Kino eye at this point; he was making a comparison to using a camera as an eye. This means he would invision what your eyes would do and try to mimic that with a camera. Also with the Kino eye you have a chance to go beyond the standard of a human eye and can get angles you would not normally see.

Montages help distinguishes many different things like youtube channels and people's gameplays. Some like to play with styles and some play for the wins.

Another thing I thought was interesting was the "unseen" minutes aspect of it. Back then-- film was not how it is now.. it was not as easy to cut because they had to watch everything first and of course it took a slower time because it was not easily on a file in front of them.
