Reading a film

The defintion of reading a film means to look at a particular film in great detail to view how it is put together. The way you would usually read a film would be to read an extract from the film rather than actually the whole film. when reading a film it is similar to reading a book; although your're not actually looking at a written page your're viewing the camera screen. Text, books or film can be looked at for a variety of reasons; you can either read a book or watch a film just for enjoyment, or might want to view it more in depth to actully see why you enjoy it.
