Battleship's Say BOOM!!!!!

Today there seemed to be only one thing that needed to be commented on. The camera angles in the film for today gave the silent film a new spark. The films that were observed on Wednesday were not as easy for me to follow because the camera stood still virtually the whole time. By using different shots the director (Eisenstein) is able to have a much larger set for the film which results in a more attentive audience (at least in our class). 

Eisenstein also played with good and evil a little bit in this film. he did a very nice job of distinguishing between the good guys and the bad guys by simply having one wear white and the other wear a dark color. Of course, in a black and white film, the only thing that can be observed in this aspect are shades. The essence of different shades of clothing truly made this film easier to follow for me as a viewer.

The one minor disappointment for me was that the big guns were not fired. This film had the potential for a very good fight scene in the end, it is sad that this was not pursued. I understand that this scene would require more money in a budget but... boys will be boys(I still wish there was an explosion).
