I was completely unaware of all the people that make major decision in the forming of film. I guess I just always assumed that it was the director who had all power in every decision. But the cinematographer controls so much. It is his visions that actually come to life and the director approves or disapproves. What talent they must have to be able to see these movies as they will be scene by an audience. Me and my friends were just discussing how so many movies are filmed on sets but to us it looks so real. Actors also become more dramatic through certain aspects of the filming. It was also very interesting to learn that the editor has so much control. Not only do they put all the frames or scenes to together to actually make the movie, but they have control to make choices that are even out of the directors hands. Just imagine taking all of that footage and piecing it together smoothy.  Deciding what is effectual and important and what is not needed would be so difficult. I remember a friend and I making a video and it took us so long to go through what we had filmed and decide what was relevant and what wasn't and we only had about an hour of footage!  I learned about camera angles before and actually enjoyed reading about them again. I love watching movies now with that in mind. There is so much more to the meaning of the film and the relationship between the characters that someone without this knowledge would never see, I know that I didn't! Just a note I really hope we watch Citizen Kane that movie is brilliant and Orsen Welles is a genius!
