That's a very interesting opinion about what people like about film. To me, the one take-away point I remember from a film-making class I took in high school days with my best friend was the teacher quoting some eminent film-maker's idea that the essence of film is montage

(that is, editing), and since then I've been very aware of the director's and editor's joint choices of shots to build a scene in any film I watch. If I can get good montage, it matters not to me what technology is used to capture the images or display them.
- anigbrowl 14y agoThat's certainly true. Film buffs and insiders lovelong complex single-take shots (the opening of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil is still a high-water-mark of technical craft), but over the length of a whole film (eg Russian Ark, where magazine changes in the camera were done when ducking behind actors or furniture) it become exhausting.
