A spectator is a person who observes any event. He gives his
reviews and views on it. In film studies, a spectator observes a movie and
gives its reviews. The nature of spectatorship is to look at how the viewer is
involved, implicated and engaged in the viewing experience. Varieties of terms
are used in this. They are distanciation, self-reflexivity, focalisation and
subjectivation. It is important that an individual participates in his own role
and activity in determining a film.
Spectatorship is not only the act of watching films, but to
enjoy each and every bit of it that how much an individual is enjoying the film
while watching. The spectator interacts in the action of the film, enjoying the
movie and giving meaning to it. The spectator sometimes can be a decoder. It is
the work of the spectator to decode them and give the meaning because the film
totally relies on the signs of the spectator.
Films have become the most important part of today’s lives. People
watch films and learn for it, whether it is good or bad. Its impact is very
high on today’s audiences. Today’s film industry is a money making industry and
so the spectator should know their tastes, likes and dislikes.
