How to Watch a Movie

Hi all! In chapter 2 it talks about cinematic language. Cinematic language is a set of rules and conventions by which cinema communicates meaning to the viewer. As watchers, we don't realize these things. The language is meant to just flow into the movie. This includes the shots, frames, and editing. I found this interesting because when watching movies, we don't think about all the little things they put into them that make such a difference. Without these details, movies would be dry and useless. All the different angles they capture make such a big difference in the movie without the watchers realizing it.
