Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s FTC Discussion brought about many interesting questions. Kraucer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s opinions on what films should be was especially perplexing to me. His approach was that film makers should strive to create a film that is as close to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153real life\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as possible. Film is a type of art in my opinion, and I think that any artist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goal should be to try to evoke some kind of thought, and emotion in the person\/people viewing their work. Films would be very boring if all we saw were clips of real life events with absolutely no intervention on the part of the film maker. I agree with Arnheim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view contesting the idea that a film is only complete when it has sound and color. Defining art, and especially \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good art\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as Dr. Campbel put it is sometimes very difficult; and many times we may need help in understanding certain aspects of films that we may not get the first time around. For example, when I first saw \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gates of Heaven\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I thought it was interesting; and quite enjoyed Danny philosophy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on life, and his guitar playing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 however, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fully understand some of the deeper messages until we discussed the film in class. In terms of films as an art form, I think that as long as the film maker strives to convey some sort of meaning to their audience, he\/she has done their job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
