Editing examples

 

Editing is one of the most important tools a filmmaker has to express themselves and/or tell a story. Existing images can take on a completely different meaning through editing—the way they are placed together or "arranged"—for example, by allowing the images to flow smoothly together, or by creating excessive contrast, effectively determines the viewer's final feeling once the film is finished. A key element of editing is sound (music, background noise, speech). This allows for different versions of the same images to be told. Sound can enhance the impact of the images.

 From 1894 to the late 1920s, movies were silent films. Silent film actors emphasized body language and facial expression, so that the audience could better understand what an actor was feeling and portraying on screen. Much silent film acting is apt to strike modern-day audiences as simplistic or campy. The melodramatic acting style was in some cases a habit actors transferred from their former stage experience.

Killing your darlings

 

The expression "Kill your darlings" is often attributed to British author Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, who advised, in a lecture series on style and writing, to "Murder your darlings." This advice simply means that as a writer, you sometimes have to say goodbye to beloved sentences, characters, or passages if they don't contribute to the overall impact. This term was later popularized by writers like William Faulkner and Stephen King, who emphasized the importance of critically examining your own work and eliminating unnecessary elements, no matter how beautiful they may be.

 A dissolve overlaps two shots for the duration of the effect, usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next, but may also be used in montage sequences. Generally, but not always, the use of a dissolve is held to indicate that a time has passed between the two scenes. Also, it may indicate a change of location or the start of a flashback.

Spellbound 1945

Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel reportedly carried rocks in their pockets during the premiere of their first film Un Chien Andalou, anticipating a violent reaction from the audience. It was a fair concern. The movie might be almost 90 years old but it still has the power to provoke – the film features a shot of a woman getting her eye slashed open with a straight razor after all. As it turned out, rocks weren’t needed. The audience, filled with such avant-garde luminaries as Pablo Picasso and André Breton liked the film. A disappointed Dalí later reported that the night was “less exciting” than he had hoped.

For films, the art director is responsible for translating the production designer’s vision into the real world with sets, props, and graphics; drafting and overseeing any set construction; conducting scenic work; and creating advertising graphics. As a senior member of the art department, they work extremely closely with the production designer, director, and producers to create the visual identity of a film. They ensure that vision is executed by the rest of the art department on schedule and on budget. The art director’s job is a mix of work that’s creative (figuring out how best to depict a visual concept), managerial (supervising other staff such as set designers and construction crew), and administrative (cross-department coordination and developing budgets and timelines)

A history in dishes

 

 

 The exhibition reveals not only what people eat, but also who eats it, when, and where. Prints, paintings, drawings, and photographs demonstrate how food culture serves as both a reflection of the city and a driving force for urban development. Old maps depict markets and eateries, such as inner-city inns, country estates where the elite grew vegetables, stately canal houses with staff in the kitchens, and 19th-century middle-class and working-class neighborhoods where a very different food culture prevailed. In the 18th century, many influences came from France; a century later, chic restaurants modeled on Parisian cuisine appeared. Various immigrant cuisines entered the scene, and sandwich shops and snack bars became a defining feature of the streetscape. Time and again, new foods become iconic for Amsterdam.

Chronophotography is a photographic technique from the Victorian era which captures a number of phases of movements. The best known chronophotography works were mostly intended for the scientific study of locomotion, to discover practical information for animal handlers and/or as reference material for artists. Although many results were not intended to be exhibited as moving pictures, there is much overlap with the more or less simultaneous quest to register and exhibit photographic motion pictures.

The film industry or motion picture industry comprises the technological and commercial institutions of filmmaking, i.e., film production companies, film studios, cinematography, animation, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post-production, film festivals, distribution, and actors. Though the expense involved in making film almost immediately led film production to concentrate under the auspices of standing production companies, advances in affordable filmmaking equipment, as well as an expansion of opportunities to acquire investment capital from outside the film industry itself, have allowed independent film production to evolve.

Stunts

 

A stunt is an unusual, difficult, dramatic physical feat that may require a special skill, performed for artistic purposes usually for a public audience, as on television or in theaters or cinema. Stunts are a feature of many action films. Before computer-generated imagery special effects, these depictions were limited to the use of models, false perspective and other in-camera effects, unless the creator could find someone willing to carry them out, even such dangerous acts as jumping from car to car in motion or hanging from the edge of a skyscraper: the stunt performer or stunt double.

Thriller is a genre of fiction with numerous, often overlapping, subgenres, including crime, horror, and detective fiction. Thrillers are characterized and defined by the moods they elicit, giving their audiences heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety. This genre is well suited to film and television. 

 A thriller generally keeps its audience on the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. The cover-up of important information is a common element. Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists, unreliable narrators, and cliffhangers are used extensively

Collage made from photographs, or parts of photographs, is called photomontage. Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. The same method is accomplished today using image-editing software. The technique is referred to by professionals as compositing.

Dance demos

 

Dance moves or dance steps (more complex dance moves are called dance patterns, dance figures, dance movements, or dance variations) are usually isolated, defined, and organized so that beginning dancers can learn and use them independently of each other. However, more complex movements are influenced by musicality and lyrical relevance to express emotions or refer to a message. Dance moves tend to emphasize the concepts of lead and follow and connection. In most cases, dance moves by themselves are independent of musicality, which is the appropriateness of a move to the music (for a notable exception, see Bharatanatyam). Generally, they are memorized in sets of eight counts. Also there are two different movements: concrete and abstract. These two movements show time, space, relationship, quality and focus. For example, relationship could describe the movement of two or more different dancers. The names of moves may be somewhat arbitrary and vary from person to person and city to city.

 A tragedy is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character or cast of characters. Traditionally, the intention of tragedy is to invoke an accompanying catharsis, or a "pain [that] awakens pleasure,” for the audience. While many cultures have developed forms that provoke this paradoxical response, the term tragedy often refers to a specific tradition of drama that has played a unique and important role historically in the self-definition of Western civilization
