Assignment 1 -(Pioneers)


Task 1 – Pioneers

These pioneers are extremely important for their advances into the film industry by creating different theories for the illusions of movement.

Joseph Plateau - Phenakistoscope
Image result for joseph plateau
The phenakistiscope was invented in 1832 by Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau. It has 2 disks that spin in opposite direction so that when they overlap they will create an illusion of an image. It will only show a short continuous loop. It is now known as the first form of moving media that paved the way for the future of modern film and television. It is also the first widespread animation device that created an illusion of motion which then led to the creation of many other illusions of motion. The phenakistoscope is an example of Persistence of vision as it creates movement when there is no movement.

Lumiere Brothers
Image result for lumiere brothersThe Lumiere brothers were crucial in the advancement of film and television as they started to invent and manufacture photographic equipment like an early motion-picture camera and a projector which they called Cinématographe. Louis Lumiere created the film La Sortie des ouvriers de l’usine Lumière (Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory) which is considered to be the first motion picture in the year 1885. The only equipment they used was a single camera which they used for taking the pictures and they also used it for projecting their motion pictures at 16 frames per second.

Thomas Edison – Kinetoscope

Thomas Edison inventing the kinetoscope was a crucial invention as the frames would run at 46 frames per second as someone would look through a peep hole and the images would go past and you would be able to see the images changing as there was a light bulb behind. This resulted in a lifelike representation of objects and people in motion. Several kinetoscopes were sold in Europe and they became the first apparatus used to project motion-picture films. This resulted in the invention of the projector as the kinetoscope is an early version of it.

Unit 18 Storyboarding - Learnig aim A

Image
Learning Aim A Scenario I have been employed by an independent film studio which is seeking financial backing for a large scale movie project. The investors need assurance that the visual planning of the movie will be highly effective and so you have  been given the task of preparing a visual report to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of a range of storyboards across different production contexts. What is a Storyboard? A storyboard is a visual representation of what the film is expected to look like. It is there so that the crew working on the film can constantly refer back to it and make sure what they are doing is correct. This makes for the production to be more efficient as everyone knows what they will need to do. Storyboards are used by a vast array of people that are working on the film as the actors will look at it to see what is expected by them, the lighting team will constantly refer back to the storyboard as it is showing them what shots they want and then t

Unit 21 - Film Editing - Editing Throughout The Years

Understanding the techniques and applications of editing for film and television Introduction I have applied for the role as an editor in a film studio and as a part of the application process I have been asked to produce a report which demonstrates my understanding of the techniques and applications of editing for Film and Television. My report will contain both historic and contemporary examples of editing from different time periods and different genres. In 1899 George Albert Smith (An English Hypnotist) released  A Kiss In the Tunnel  which is arguably the most important development in film editing. This is because it is the first known film to have been edited as there is a shot that looks like the camera is on the train going into a tunnel and then coming out of the tunnel and a shot of a couple sitting in what looks like the train carriage but it is most likely a stage has been edited in between these shots and they are just doing typical things like reading a newspaper.
