I found Professor Sikand’s discussion to be very interesting and eye-opening. The points that stuck out to me most is what the viewers don’t see: the money involved when a song is on the radio, how shots are altered, etc. As viewers, I think we assume–or at least I often do–that the shots are displayed were filmed just that way and did not require much thought. Much to the contrary, filmmaking is incredibly detail oriented as Professor Sikand pointed out on Thursday. We only seem to notice, however, when things look wrong or out of place.
