Questions for 21 October

1) The idea of 'showing' versus 'telling' goes across media. What makes it especially relevant and important to film? What special challenges (or impossibilities) arise?
2) Hempe notes that people's initial response to 'what did you see?' is to elaborate on the film rather than simply state its contents. What do you think this says about our reaction to this particular medium?
3) Why might a filmmaker bring contradictory images into play?
