Post #1 "Notes on the Cinematographer" (Due 1/14/15)

Please read the Introduction (found in this link) and the entirety on Robert Bresson's "Notes on the Cinematographer" (better pdf for the full text here.) I recommend breaking it up over a few days. It's not a lot to read, but it's a lot to process. Please select 3 of Bresson's entries that speak to you and/or change your perception of what filmmaking is and comment on them. Please include the log entries before your comments.
