This is a late post. Adrian told us a useful tip would be to treat academic readings as if they were a person and we could ask them anything. “Why are you so swedish?” were one of the examples.

Sorenssen mentioned in the last paragraph that Astruc thought the new ways of media, its accessibility, is a ‘rejuvenation of film form’ and it was ‘liberating it from the old’. Early in the passages he mentions Youtube being flooded with laughing babies and cats. I do agree that new media platforms are a ‘democratization of the medium’. What I want to ask Sorenssen is whether he thinks that this democratization is ruining the old film forms? I feel like through all these new media platforms like Vine its so easy for people to start creating things, and in a way in makes film forms less meaningful.
