Metaphors on Vision is about the language of everyday life through vision. Every thing that he talks about fundamentally refer back to the topics of "birth, sex, death, and the search for God." He is basically talking about how powerful our eyes are in a sense that we, individually, can see things through our own perceptions and make different conclusions about things. For example, he points out cave paintings and how they were used to show fear.

It's very interesting that our minds can comprehend a language just from pictures and/or moving pictures, in this case, cinema. Since pictures do not have any words, they make us think and say what we want to conclude about them. After that, they also sort of make us gather around other people to make a conversation about it/them.

In Methods of Montage, it explains how there are different ways to create a montage. An example is a rhythmic montage. This is when the scene changes according to the change in music, i.e. drums. The difference between a tonal and an overtonal montage is that the overtonal montage seeks to give you this physiological perception, while tonal montage gives you the emotional feel of a piece. I think that there should be more studies/research on overtonal montages because I think that there could be so many more uses for it.

In chapter 3 of David Bordwell's Narrative as a Formal System, Bordwell explains how to create a story with all of the necessary components. There always needs to be some sort of narration. This is either be directly spoken by a narrator or a character, or the narration can be inferred in a silent film if there aren't any words. There's a difference between a plot and a story. The plot is mainly the events of one particular story. On the other hand, story is the sum of all of the plots. An example of plot is just the events of Star Wars A New Hope where Luke Skywalker travels everywhere to eventually duel with Darth Vader. A story would be the whole complete plots that happen throughout the whole course of the Star Wars series.    I think that a film's plot have various distinct components because without them, the story would just go on and on and on, not being able to finish. There should always be a certain time, place, beginning, middle and an end.
