Authenticity

There were very few buzz words in semester 1... Genre, Zeitgeist (god I can't wait for my entry on that), Realism and AUTHENTICITYYYYYYYY!!!!

Here are some thoughts on the matter:

Authenticity means to me now somthing slightly more subjective. Where at first I thought it was simply to do with genuine expression now it seems to incorporate or be determined by the perception of the audience.

How does the observer relate to the film? and is that simply what makes it authentic?

We had many discussions about whether AUTHENTICITY was just another word for 'Good' but for me it became to mean the creation of a moment where disbelief is suspended and held.
