Kino Eye:
I really enjoyed the title font and photographs, the picture of the eye within the lens is my favorite. By seeing those images I knew that the author must be eccentric and original before I started the article. I also noticed that the way the article is written makes it look like poetry. This seems like a stylistic choice to emphasize the romance and raw emotion in film. The most relevant part is when he says that the camera eye "schematizes" scenes in our life, which basically means to simplify. So in essence, the best part about film is that it shows what our eye is most interested in instead of everything our eyes can behold.
Methods of Montage
Montage is my favorite way of editing film, as you can probably see from the films I have created. I enjoy taking things that don't have anything to do with each other and smashing them together to make something comprehensible. I like how Eisenstein says "simple relationships are necessary for maximum effectiveness", because the act of montage is already really complicated but when the subject or score of the film is kept simple then everything flows together well.
