Kubelka Response

The theory of metrical film comments on issues of perception and reality in analog cinema. the first comment that was made that i found interesting was the illusion of movement within cinema. when we see these still played back at various film speeds, we see the various still images and interpret them as movement, never really stopping to appreciate the fact that in actuality we have just been bombarded with thousands of still images within in a manner of minutes. this is an example of the various "realities" analog, and all other forms of cinema present to us. there is the physical reality of the film or digital file. then there is the playback or performed reality of the image, and finally there is the percieved reality of the film; what the viewer actually receives from it.
