| | It depends on how you view a movie. Some people are voracious but shallow readers. Most people may goto the theater and never return to the film. Others - apparently millions - buy the DVD. With the captioning on, you can follow the dialog closely. You can back up or freeze frames. It depends on how you view.
Most people it seems, thinks of actors as the stars of cinema, though Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, and others are also recognized. Still, writers, editors, and key grips do not appear on the covers of tabloids. And I confess that I am not so sophisticated a viewer myself. I just watched the Odyssey 5 series. The only writer I recognized was Melissa Snodgrass, famous from books.
We continue to transition from books to cinema. Books wlll not go away; but video will become preferred medium in the next generation. You can buy cheap and easy software that does for cinematography what word processing did for writing.
