I really enjoyed these readings specifically Kino-eye. I thought it was well written and its arguments were strong, I also heavily agree that we need to use cameras in more creative ways than we normally do. That being said through this article was written in 1923 and we have definitely made improvements on our camera work partly because of new tech like go pros and drones but also because cameras have grown smaller and better thus allowing us to create really cool shots that are vastly different than what Dziga Vertov would've ever seen in his life time. Another thing he mentions is the editing of film together to create something new and that is something we have started to apply as well since the writing of this article going so far as to put characters like Forrest Gump into actual historical events that were filmed. I think he would love the progress that we have made on that front but would still want more to come out in main stream cinema instead of the art house scene that it does now.
Metaphors was an article i didn't really understand but I loved some of the questions he posed like how does a child know what green is without ever learning what it is. With that said however i didn't get a lot of it as i don't really understand the point he is trying to make however I did love the language that he uses to describe this medium.
