I have always enjoyed watching movies, but have never really been interested in making films/videos so I was very apprehensive about this reading assignment. I felt overwhelmed by the vocabulary and a bit defensive to let it sink in. I realize this language is vital to talking about filmmaking and will be more relevant once i actually start storyboarding but overall, i found it a bit boring. It did however, make me think about how any great artist must make great decisions. Every element of every frame of a film must be considered. I enjoyed looking at the Poussin painting, The Rape of Sabine Women, in the discussion of scope and I think the section Schindler's List: Content and Composition was actually very helpful and resonated with me more from a painter's perspective than anything else.
