Cave drawings relating to cinema

In Werner Herzog's: " The Cave Of Forgotten Dreams" media is portrayed through the abstract cave drawings dated over 30,000 years ago. When analyzing the drawings in the cave scientists understand that the paintings were created as actions. The majority of the drawings were made upon slight curves in the walls which in this sense, establishes motion. I believe the drawings were meant to be made like this, because it helps people gain a better understanding of what is happening in the images. The artist wanted people to understand how animals act, so they portrayed it through the only way they could. The paintings tell a story which also makes it a complex and interesting form of cinema. The animals are fighting aggressively and the images easily establish this to be true. The artist created patches of faded dust clouds, as well as overlapping drawings of animals to depict them running, fighting, and even mating. It also shows animals running in motion just as objects move in motion within cinema. Overall, the cave drawings are significant because they convey original forms of media.
