Film screening.

The film we watched today was the 1966 Czechoslovak comedy/drama film, and was directed by Vera Chytilova.
When the film first came on, I was a little skeptical about what I would think of it, because it had a few moments when it was slow. But there were a few elements I loved such as when they were cutting up the magazines the screen appeared to be cut up, which still looked effective in 2014 which intrigued me. I loved the fact it could still impress people in this time, when you may think that it may be dated now, compared to the big productions we have now.

I think some of the scenes did tend to drag on longer than I thought was necessary but thinking about it afterwards I think it made them more memorable, such as the lengthy scene in which they end up at a banquet and eat and throw all of the food around.

In conclusion, watching this film has inspired me to think about possibly think more about the cinematography, and to think outside the box about the camera angles I am going to be using in my films,
