Boring notes from class!

LOL Kute Kat pix. Here are some notes from class as I think folks said some very perceptive things and we should keep track of them as they could be the foundation of some grand new media theories!

Regarding the application of Laura Mulvey's ideas to Hitchcock's vertigo and to bumfights:

We agreed that both media are organized around the objectification of one human by another. That the controlling gaze works in almost the same way in each clip.

Where they differ:

Bumfights has an uncertain narrative structure versus Vertigo's cinematic narrative.

Bumfights invokes a safe experience of dangerous "real life" spontaneity, whereas Vertigo is acknowledged as fiction.

I know we said much more, what am I missing?
