			<description><![CDATA[I definitely pay attention to different aspects when I watch films, like how shots are filmed, which camera angles are used, what you can see... I love watching making-of's and sometimes commentaries as well. I think the more you concern yourself with the various aspects of film-making, the more you learn for your own project.
I enjoy write-up's and making-of's of brickfilms in special. To see how other brickfilmer would do something, is very helpful in my opinion.

Also, there are (a few, but some) films I watch over and over again. [i]The Dark Knight[/i] is a very good example for me, here. I just love how this film is created, how cinematograhpy is done, and how the plot develops. I know every scene, every dialogue and every movement of this film. ;)

So, to answer your question: yes, I do 'study' films. Although in some films more, and in some less- I always look and concentrate of how things are done.

			<description><![CDATA[I enjoy commentaries too, though they vary. I think the [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] extended editions do a fabulous job at pretty much everything, commentary or special features. Some movies I like are made by reclusive directors (Terrence Malick, Coen brothers), so there aren't any commentary tracks there. I remember listening to Todd Haynes talking about [i]I'm Not There[/i], which was pretty funny since he was saying great stuff but has just about the worst monotone speaking voice ever. :P I think I've listened to every commentary on Season Six of [i]The Simpsons[/i].

The book I'm reading on Terrence Malick has some really interesting ideas in it, like the use of visual leitmotifs throughout a film and the concept of characters that are deliberately two-dimensional to represent certain archetypes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I love studying and observing films, especially in recent years. Really, I find few things more fulfilling than having an intelligent discussion with someone about movies in general or a particular film, especially about ones as thought-provoking as [i]2001[/i], [i]No Country for Old Men[/i], or [i]There Will Be Blood[/i]

I received a copy of Roger Ebert's "The Great Movies" for Christmas last year, and it has, for the most part, been very fascinating.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Just Kidden]I also like listening to the commentary. It helps a lot with understanding how they make the movie.[/quote]
I listened to the commentary on the newer version of "Pride and Prejudice" once - possibly because I found it more bearable than what was actually happening. No, no - I'm kidding. There were a lot of good ideas in the film. Anyway, the director is criticizing some of the scenes. His commentary sounds something like this:

"Hmm.... this sequence is all a bit bland. It needs some more interest in the angles. Mm... the CG here doesn't really sell the shot. Ooh - that shot was good. No, this one has some strange issues with the movement...."

It was hilarious, but also insightful.

			<description><![CDATA[I generally pay a lot of attention to visual techniques and not enough to acting, which I need to change. Sometimes I'll read about a film, either from a technical standpoint ([i]American Cinematographer[/i] is a great magazine to read for that) or a critical one (I generally read [i]New Yorker[/i] reviews, and I'm reading a book on Terrence Malick right now).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Constantly. I study every film I watch. 
How I've learned all the stuff I know about film making, is studying films and watching the special features on the DVD. :mrgreen: 
Cinematography is another thing I study a lot too. I love good cinematography.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When I watch films I definately pay attention to the shots that catch my eye most. Also, I look to see what kind of effects or certain settings were used to portray certain things. I do this with large movies/films and brickfilms. 
I don't storyboard or anything, however after watching a movie I usually get inspired to make a similar feeling movie :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hmm.. I can't say I do. I pay more attention to how the actors act (as I hope to become an actor or director some day). Though I usually do remember how shots were made (or how I think they were made :P), especially if they were just awesome. ;)]]></description>
