Dziga Vertov

The main thing that got from this reading was that Vertov makes a comparison with the human eye and the camera. The human eye only can see so much and can not be changed. The camera can be perfected and find more than meets the eye. Vertov uses examples of shots of dancers or a boxing match that provide support that a camera is superior to a human eye.The eye can capture everything happening all at once while the camera captures everything in sequences. The sequences such as the example of the dancers, the camera can capture all the parts with extreme focus on the arms or the legs. The human eye just sees everything all together rather than it being broken down.
