“The space of one’s lived experiences.”
Occupying the film text
“To say that a social subject is “within” the cinematic is not […] to focus just on the relation between
spectator and screen. Instead, emphasis shifts from the formation
of consciousness, identity, and ideology to how individuals or social groups have access to and move to and from the place(s) where they
engage films in their everyday lives.”
“Now we need a new term to describe
those who routinely produce such
material, but without the aim of being a
‘filmmaker’: perhaps we should talk of
someone as a ‘filmer’, just as computing
talks of ‘users’, making no binary
distinction between the amateur and the
professional. Nowadays we are
both.”
“Dorothy’s knowledge [...] of exactly why the Gaze is on her, entirely removes this voyeuristic element, as her confidence with narratives surrounding her own
presentation as a Woman of Steel gives her a sense of security. She knows exactly where and why the
camera is focusing on her, and instead of a kind of gazing, the
camera becomes a mechanism for Dorothy to enact a telling.”
