Elements of Film Media

 Hey everyone and welcome back to another post! Today we will be discussing the different elements of film media. There are many types of elements in film media. Some examples are editing, lighting, sound design, cinematography, acting, and mise-en-scene. Editing is the process of taking footage and adding effects and transitions. Lighting is the use of light to mimic different times of the day and weather conditions. Sound design is the process of creating the audio for the film, this includes the sound effects, and music. Cinematography is the use of different camera techniques used to take images, such as lens, movements, angles, and shot types. Acting is the performance of actors. Mise-en-scene is everything you can see in a moving or print text. Stayed tuned for the next post which will feature the plan for our film.

    

Researching Film Media

 

Welcome back to another blog post! Today we are discussing and exploring the history of film media.  Film media is a form of communication that uses images that move describing a story that is either fiction or nonfiction. In 1891, Thomas Edison along with his assistant William Dickson invented the Kinetoscope. The Kinetoscope is a type of device that allowed a person to view moving images on film that were illuminated by a source of light through a peephole. This became so popular that these types of machines were installed in hotel lobbies, arcades, and parks. Several friends encouraged him to extend and further develop this invention so it could serve an audience as opposed to one person watching the film. Edison refused and felt it would not be profitable.  Unfortunately, Thomas Edison did not obtain an international patent for his invention, therefore the Lumière brothers capitalized on his error. In 1895, the brothers patented the Cinématographe. The Cinématographe was a portable camera that captured moving images, processed the film and projected it on a screen to view by an audience. They traveled extensively throughout Europe seeking their next subject to film. The moving picture entertainment grew so quickly that other companies were competing with the Lumière brothers. Edison realized what he missed out on and he purchased the rights to Vitascope which allowed audiences to view a full length motion film. Over the years film media technology has improved by adding sound, color, and special effects. Film media had played an important role in our society by influencing they way people think about politics, culture and life in general. Next blog post we will be talking about elements of film media.

Portfolio Practice

Hey guys welcome back to another blog! Today we are talking about my favorite spot in the school. I went to my favorite spot in the school, which is the soccer field. I went out there and filmed a couple videos of me doing some activities. In the first clip I am taking a freekick from about 20 yards out. The shot was not very good, but I still scored. The first clip is considered a over the shoulder shot. In the second clip I am cheering on my teammates while I am on the bench getting ready to be sub onto the field. The second clip is considered a mid shot. In the third clip me and my friend are cheering on our favorite team hoping they win. There was a questionable call in the box we did not agree with. The third clip is considered a two shot. Soccer influenced me to make a film because I watch a lot of soccer films, I think they are very interesting, and I want to recreate one. No I did not change my direction. Yes I am on the right track. Yes It was helpful. Next I will get ready to start filming my Movie.

Thank for listening bye blog!
