Q2

Based on the week 5 reading from Martin Scorsese and Dusan Makavejev, a couple of points that I picked up from it were;

(i) What we put in a frame is a major decision. You can just put an arm in the side of the frame, and the audience will expect something else to happen, or I could pan over and include the head or pan over to include the whole body. This stood out for me because it was completely new to me and I never thought that it would have that much of an effect or influence towards the audience.

(ii)From the Makavejev’s reading point that when you are framing shots you must consciously think that unlike you the viewers of the film will not be aware of the surrounding images. When I am framing shots this is an aspect we normally dont consciously think of, especially in regards to how there can be a tension and excitement from the viewers about what lies beyond the borders of the frame.
