Beginning at a young age, I had a deep liking for watching movies of different genres. My liking eventually turned into a passion, stemming from my desire to learn how the films I was watching were developed, put together, and essentially created piece by piece, shot by shot; I remember wanting to be a part of them. As the years passed, I discovered an application called Youtube, a place where I could explore my passion. The number of videos I watched increased daily, each one's composition amazing me even more than the last. During this time a popular trend on Youtube was “stop motion videos”. This is when you create a video to a song, using only pictures, and put them together to make it seem as if it is moving. Wanting to finally explore my desire to learn …show more content…
I then pulled up the editing software that came with my PC computer and sat for hours exploring and teaching myself how to edit videos and pictures. The end result was my first ever video produced by myself. As time passed, I realized that this passion of mine was not simply a hobby to amuse myself with when I had time, but rather a path I could see myself taking that could potentially result in a future career. I found myself searching for moments throughout the day to edit, create, and post videos when possible. Although I enjoyed the creating aspect of films and constructing them, I had very little knowledge in the film industry itself. Therefore, during my junior year I did some researching and found a summer program that was offered at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. I
In this image, a sewage worker is seen cleaning the drainage system, with his bear hands, without the use of either any equipment’s or protection. On the first glace, the image depicts the idea of health risk, because the man is exposed to such contaminants, which for him is work. He is looking up from a dirty drain, covered in filth, which shows that he is clearly used as the subject of this image, whom we are engaged to more as he is making eye contact with its viewers. This picture only includes one person into the frame, as the other man’s face isn’t available to see in this picture, which is man that is holding the bucket. Holding a bucket either emphasise the idea that he is helping the sewage worker, either to get the dirt out or to put the dirt in the drainage system.
For more than hundred years stop motion has been around in one form or another. At a steady rate of speed a series of frames have been shot with each one being slightly different that the next one. The human eye perceives this as being an unbroken action and the brain seamlessly stiches the frames together and it appears like a moving image. The object is moved in small increments between independently photographed frames, creating the illusion of connection when the series of frames is played as a nonstop sequence. In its earliest form of stop-motion animation was objective manipulation. The stop-motion technique was created to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton were the first people to use the idea of a stop-motion film. In 1897 they created The Humpty Dumpty Circus, a film wher...
Both passages concern the same topic, the Okefenokee Swamp. Yet, through the use of various techniques, the depictions of the swamp are entirely different. While Passage 1 relies on simplicity and admiration to publicize the swamp, Passage 2 uses explicitness and disgust to emphasize the discomfort the swamp brings to visitors.
The Midwest: land of TV news anchors, housewives, and dreary, never-ending fields. In her memoir “The Horizontal World”, Debra Marquart uses interesting rhetorical techniques to detail this vast, distinctly uninteresting plain. By using unusual figurative language, outside examples to solidify her points, and a geometric extended metaphor, she paints a picture of perhaps the most boring place on Earth.

I am always a little nervous and hesitant when I begin writing an essay. Ever since I was little I was an honor roll student, passed all my tests, was placed in honors and AP classes, and eventually graduated a year early from high school. I used to be so confident when I would begin writing a paper, I could finish it within a couple minutes. During junior year of high school, I began taking duel credit classes. I was passing all the classes so far until I reached English 111. It was an 8-week course and I started to get overwhelmed. All throughout the course I was having a little bit of trouble on the essays. I would still receive a passing grade, but it wasn’t an A. I began becoming a little discouraged and didn’t understand what was going
With this short but very interesting and informative class I have just scratched the surface of the what it takes to make a full fleged film. It takes much more than I had presumed to make a movie in Hollywood. The number of people that it takes to make a minute of a movie let alone the entire movie was astonishing to me. There are many things that it takes to start making a movie but without an idea of some sort there is no movie to be made.
...have already begun to see – more as a means to playful firing visual fascination. The opposition of realistic film visual culture and non-narrative montage tradition has begun to breakdown. It is leading towards hybridization of realistic and stylized editing. Thus at one extreme there is a montage phenomenon of music video and on the other hand the editing technique of traditional cinema comes together. Montage is no longer a dominant aesthetic according to the new computer culture, as it was throughout the twentieth century, from the avant-garde of the 1920s up until postmodernism of the 1980s. New editing techniques like composting has emerged which combines different spaces into a single environment seamlessly creating a virtual space. Compositing is an example of the alternative aesthetics of continuity and it is considered counterpart of montage aesthetics.

The advancement of technology has expanded the boundaries of video art. Now mobile phones, such as the iPhone, are using augmented reality applications to alter the way art is perceived. Augmented reality superimposes digital effects on a live stream from a mobile phones camera.Video artists are concerned that their work might be misidentified as films. This anxiety leads them to seek out venues for their work (warehouse art galleries and hard-to-find back-room viewing rooms) that will grant them the power to have it appreciated on its own terms. Artists may care about a disembodied feel of a projected work in a more open-air setting, or they may want to take advantage of the sculptural qualities of placing one or many TV monitors in the gallery space. For genuine aesthetic reasons, many great works of video art are not meant to be seen on someone’s TV or laptop at
Offering the unique ability to visually and audibly convey a story, films remain a cornerstone in modern society. Combined with a viewer’s desire to escape the everyday parameters of life, and the excitement of enthralling themselves deep into another world, many people enjoy what films stand to offer. With the rising popularity of films across the world, the amount of film makers increases every day. Many technological innovations mark the advancement of film making, but the essential process remains the same. Pre-production accounts for everything taken place before any shooting occurs, followed by the actual production of the film, post-production will then consist of piecing the film together, and finally the film must reach an audience. Each step of this process contributes to the final product, and does so in a unique right. The process of film making will now start chronologically, stemming from the idea of the story, producing that story into a film, editing that footage together, and finally delivering that story to its viewers.
I decided to be a director when I was fourteen years old. I was in my tenth grade and studied about world wars in history. I was inspired by the stories of the wars and started writing stories based on the same subject. I had little clue what to do with those stories until I watched ‘Saving Private Ryan’ .This movie based on second world war inspired me to be a filmmaker.
...e it before it gets broadcasted. Training opportunities are easy to find because of how many people know how to edit videos very easily. I think this would help me very much. It is easy making money as a video editor because of how many clients are hiring right now. Most of these jobs are in the Texas area. Going to school for video editing is very good for getting more clients because a lot of the professors recommend their students to other people. I think it would be very fun as well.
