You should know that the more you know about the sausage-factory that is movie-making, the less you will enjoy movies. As you learn camera techniques, editing techniques, blocking, framing... you find yourself yanked out of the movie and into the mechanics of the scene. It can really bust up your movie enjoyment. Then again... you'll be watching something, and suddenly you will FEEL SOMETHING DEEPLY, and you'll switch into analytical mode, and figure out what it was that triggered your response. A cut. An angle. A musical sting. Whatever. Go watch ten or fifteen of those Cinefix movie analyses, and I think you'll start to see the mechanics behind what it takes to get that scene onto film...
