Practices of Looking 183-200

In the book it talks about how cuts were used to blend a motion picture together by using short shot to shots segments and combining them (189). This technique is something I learned back at CBC, in which I took a intro to Cinema class and we learned a lot of information about film and especially cuts. I didn't notice cuts until the professor pointed them out and ever since I notice them more frequently in movies t.v shows etc. Cuts are prevalent in the film industry but I notice them more during commercials since they are trying to get there advertisement out as fast as possible usually 30 seconds or less depending on the commercial. I also seen a clip of video (which I can't remember the title of the film) where there was no cuts involved and it felt a little awkward because we are so use to seeing cuts in visual media.
