12 A Brief Discussion of Form in Cinema The conventional director "would cover this in about a shot or two. Eisenstein, on the contrary, takes over forty shots. By going from objective time to subjective time he was able to present a reconstruction of reality which was more "real" than the actual event. In The Old and New, when the cream-separator is presented to the farmers, its importance is not conveyed by means of acting or the ooo's and ahhh's of sound. Instead, the peculiar qualities of the film medium convey the meaning and the drama of the scene. When short shots are cut in ever-increasing rhythms to render the excitement, when the lighting is intensified, when the focus is cleared, when the compositions are tightened, we can see that the camera is not just a recording device but actually an actor. — A.
