I'm Happy Again

I have never been able to watch a scary movie and I now understand how pathetic I truly am. I was scared watching “Nosferatu”, embarrassing, but his nails and funky rat teeth put me over the edge. It is very interesting to see the progression of art through the clips shown each class. I feel like watching clips from this particular class felt much more relatable than anything we have previously been studying. The camera angles, the movement of the camera, close-ups. Editing really has served a huge purpose while making films. I never have paid attention to how the audience witnesses different viewpoints because it seems natural that there should be camera cuts and switches of perception. However, I now see that film had to go through a long process without this ability of editing and how editing evolved. So glad we got to watch a little of “Singing in the Rain” I forgot how funny it is, also watching it now that I am older I can appreciate the historical context more.
