What we see in the real world is the product of our own will and choice. In the cinema we have to accept the point of view given to us. The making of a film requires the choice of a viewpoint which controls what is shown on the screen, thus limiting our normal freedom to survey what is in front of us, to select and examine what catches our attention or interest
(a) Which is the subject of "limiting", "the making of a film" or "a viewpoint"?
(b) About "to select and examine what catches our attention or interest", is that a restatement of "to survey what is in front of us", or just juxtaposed to "to survey..."?
