On the Cinematic Sence of Vision

Abstract

Since the invention of cinema, it has increased in the faculty for expression in such a short time as sixty years or so. From silent picture to 'talkie', with the adoption of technicolor, it has made progress toward the present wide screen in order to meet the requirements which lurked in itself from the beginning. The cinema is the kind of art which really consists in seeing. To be precise, whatever it expresses must be perceived, first of all, by the sense of vision. Natural sounds, music, words and all others must be taken up as a matter of visual concern. After all, we should notice that cinematic vision is so peculiar that it possesses another entirely new construction in itself.
