Kino Eye

Using the camera in the way Vertov suggests, filming the actions that than being a spectator is the best way to film. The human eye can’t improve and the camera can of course, but the human eye is still going to filter through what the human eye sees and humans can’t achieve beyond that. To Vertov, kino-eye is the ultimate way to capture human movement and action, but to others, that form of montage may not be appealing. To think that the kino-eye can become so much greater than human capabilities kino-eye may work for more artful films, but for mainstream films today, not all directors are out to make the most artistic film because they also want to make a film that sells. If kino-eye style of film isn't appealing to the greater masses, it will never become a standard as a way of filming.
