This thread just maxed out my hard drive ...
I especially liked the part about Film being the only Medium which can communicate Silence. Maybe it is something to do with Film being a cool Medium. I'll have to think about that. Very interesting. A thread on those kinds of things would be great too.. but thanks. This is what I call an efficient Thread Format :D
Editing because I just thought to qualify.
Cool Medium being, one which appeals to more than (one) sense. as Film does. Books, Press and Radio are Hot Mediums because they appeal to (only) one sense. I was wondering if sound and Vision together allows Film to signify a kind of closure by closing down one of those senses. so It creates silence. But it was very interesting when you seemed to show how this happens in the Language of Film itself.. I need to re-read that part.. Great Thread.
