Thanks for the advice. :) Ok I sort of get what you mean. I just meant that a filmmaker needs to be able to notice certain things. It's not that I thought "seeing" was the only aspect of film. Just a "know your craft" kind of thing. Just like how a writer trains himself to recognize literary...

One of the many ways I am going to grow as a filmmaker is to read and watch what others create. Now that I realize this, I'm going on a netflix binge. But I can't just blindly sit down and enjoy the show (which is what I've been guilty of doing all along!) I have to pay attention to character...
