I agree that with Dziga Vertov when he is telling us to use cameras in different ways. Ever single image is a different perspective on an object. Since the loss of innocence we are taught to view the world in the same way as everyone else. Suppose a class is suppose to take a picture of a chair. Everyone in the class will have similar pictures, because that is how we are taught to look at a chair. A chair is just a chair. We accept this without questions. A chair is just a chair by name and that its use is for sitting. We do not think to ourselves what could that chair could be. We rarely challenge what we are told, but how are to we know what is the truth or not if we have never seen it. Like it would be interesting to see what humans would come up with if we weren’t all taught the same things. This creates a bias vision of the world and we are all taught to look at the world in the same lenses. Like how in the article Brakhage says “How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of “Green”?” I feel like this innocence is rarely or never captured on film. It would be interesting to use cinema to challenge this bias view of the world and to show things in uses that are accepted as.
