Film Notes

The word "image" has two conjoined meanings: an image is an optical pattern, it is also a mental experience "multistable figure"

whatever education our ears undergo in order to perceive reality is sufficient to perceive recorded sound

"saccades"
boveated vision

read images

physiologically

ethnographically

psychologically

-------

semiology
the study of systems of signs


poetry - signifiers/signifieds

the dance between sound and meaning

"A film is difficult to explain because it is easy to understand"

-----

what if you made an object that wasn't necessarily what it appeared to be but treated it as what it appeared to be

circumscribed

the process of intellection

a single frame is not the smallest unit of meaning

a shot contains as much information as we want to read in it
