Response: “The Significance of Film Form” by David Bordwell


Wow. I still cannot believe how this guy just broke down “The Wizard of Oz”. I must have seen that movie a hundred times as a kid. I think we watched it until the tape busted. I should be an expert on the movie but I had no idea how much film form is important. It is basically what gives a film its comprehension. It supplies the drama, the comedy, the surprises, its all that. After reading Bordwell reading, it makes me want to watch my favorite movies again, and just follow the writers and directors frame work, or all of their pieces of their movie get put together before my eyes. Film form is what your viewer eventually gets indirectly or directly after seeing your film is what I got from this reading. It was really a “made me think” article.
