I really enjoyed hearing the perspectives of the director Martin Scorsese in this video he has a lot of interesting points, it is also good to know what somebody who has dedicated his whole life to the art of making movies has to say about all this things. For example there is a part were he is talking about the tools he uses and how this tools become part of a vocabulary, I think this is a very interesting thing because I never got to thinking how my mind was being told to look here or there whenever I’m watching a video and how all of this details only work together to transmit the message that the director wants to transmit.
The part about how ideas and emotions are expressed in visual form in a video or film was also very interested but I was a bit disappointed that he ended the sentence with “video or film” I know on this video he was talking specifically about that, but I think this applies to an endless list of visual art, photography, dance, painting, graphic design just to name a few, even interior design where every item is put on a specific place to make the room transmit a certain feeling.
He also spoke about how is our responsibility to tell the story and then said something about one of his films, that he knew that could not be shown on tv because it was not for kids and how he didn’t want it to be shown on tv because the film would have been edited to the point that he could not care less about it, I respect this a lot because I think is very important to know who your work is for and what your work is and respect it by not letting it be mess with because somebody doesn’t like it or just for showing it some wear.
Finally I also enjoyed the part about training the eye, that is not about taking or writing notes and memorizing all the films is about to looking at a film and know what that represents.
Good review :)
ReplyDeleteespecially important the part of training your eye. As graphic designers we need to keep nurturing our talent by feeding it visual stimuli and understanding even little by little how elements on a composition interweave and work together in the process of visual communication.
