Abstract

The great American filmmaker D.W. Griffith once said, "The task I am trying to achieve is above all to make you see." The kind of seeing that Griffith is referring to presumably relates to a cognitive understanding of the world, a process of communication whereby personal beliefs effect change on those of other people; but implied in this statement is also a sense that the best way to make people 'see' or understand, is through the technology of the motion picture camera.
