Document Summary
A series of questions around a larger question. How do the physical components with how one views the cinema. How it is filmed, how engaged it with our psyche interest in moving beyond technical innovations. Machines of cinema engage our desires, fantasies, and identifications whereby we become part of the apparatus. Us being part of this process, are are not divorced from the process of cinema as we are part of the projector/cinema experience. Cinema confirms our subjectivity, that we desire, and looking, and we have fantasies. Works look to one another"s, incorporates thoughts to one another"s. Ideology and apparatus spectator occupies a central position. We are part of that process, we watch cinema, it is made to be watched. Apparatus positions us to how the camera photographs things, makes us central to the theory. Cinematic apparatus = interaction between spectators, technology and texts. We dont see the film we cant understand the story.
