A) In the middle of Alan Sennett's work, he spends an amount of time to write nuanced formal analysis of scenes from Triumph of the Will and engages the history of film theory a little bit. And I found his strategy of case studies to be effective, because it pays specific attention to how a film is composed and structured by the woman behind the camera and thus is able to discusses how the film sutures the audience into the world of false belief. What this paper brings up to me is that, to think of disinformation in media, we must also think of the specificity and form of the media. Moreover, I also believe this paper is in dialogue with the proposal for a more interdisciplinary research method which we have discussed last week.
B) According to the reading, if every film is political to some extent and may be taken out of context to propagate ideologies, should we, the audience, to think of film and media beyond its representational logics and effects. Should we teach ourselves to develop a new understanding toward the media we are exposed to everyday?
